So you want them to bring back the Probe name plate. (that name on a car still makes me chuckle 30 years later)

Lying, attention-whore, bullshit artist. No fucking way the helmets are just sitting there neatly and the bike on it’s side stand if it was an actual crash. Every single time I’ve went down, the helmet was dropped next to where I lay and the bike didn’t get picked up until after I made sure I wasn’t too broken.  Who…

They would sell thousands of them outfitted that way, unfortunately.

CVT only, all of your arguments for it are now invalid. :)

Given the terrain in Baja and the stated goals for the new Boot, that’s an appropriate comparison.

I got a definite ‘Fancy Kirsten’ kind of vibe while reading this. We, as a group, should find an appropriate name for your latest writing style. 

That’s Henessey’s next vaporware...

It’s sad that he’s passed.

Popup headlights always win in Jalop-land.

So... an MR4.  I can get on-board with that.

Yep. Very nice bike but still a little out of my price range at the moment. I should have the financial sins-of-my-past paid for in a couple of years.  Have to see what the Wing and competitors look like then.

Get the Wing. I’ve got a 2014 with all the toys except airbag. It’s dead reliable and handles better than a bike that size has any right to (I regularly scrape pegs riding solo with no worries). The wife and I have done 1,200 mile days and were still in good shape at the end. You want reverse when the bike is that…

Same running gear.  Most folks I knew swapped in a 440 or 383 once they were tired of the 360.

Best argument ever for manual transmissions.  Well, that and CVT.

Neutral: There is no viable options for me to drive less. I live in the suburbs and have a 25 mile, 40-60 minute commute each way. Trains aren’t an option because I would have to ride for at least 2 hours and walk the last mile at each end. Buses aren’t an option for the same reason, 3 bus changes and over 2 hours…

Doing your own thing is fine and dandy. This, however, is a borderline abusive relationship.

I’m fine with keeping the noise down to a dull roar. However, isn’t 1984 still a fiction and not a guideline? Or is it finally time to move it to the non-fiction section?

Chrysler and Renault together again.  Make a modern version of the Renault 5 Turbo and I’m in favor.  Otherwise, meh.

This just in from the Romero Institute for the obvious.  Poor people can’t afford new cars...

Mom replaced a Pinto wagon with one of these. The Omni was a much better car in every sense.
