Diavel says hi. In any case being competitive in sales has nothing to do with good engine specs. It’s not an impressive motor by modern V-twin standards. Ducati, KTM, Suzuki, and Honda have all made far more impressive V-twins. Anything looks good by it’s self in a bubble. 

Yeah it drives me crazy too, the most annoying thing is that it legally classifies most 2 wheeled vehicles that cannot exceed 35mph in many states. Even those without pedals. Its worse in Europe they call any 2 wheeler without a manual clutch a moped.

RIP Alta :(

All of this striking and demanding higher wages is just gonna lead to faster job automation across all job sectors not just GM. Automation only has a large up front cost. it’s easier to justify that cost the more you have to pay employees. Not having to worry about work stoppages or people calling out sick is a nice…

Gotta love the flying V. I had a CX500 for a lil while always loved the way the engine looked.

He should have added, “If we had access to a giant straight on a private track we could go faster too”

This, people just assumed he wouldn’t win in the 1st place, and severely underestimated how many people hated Obama.

I’m aware but the standard aircraft isn’t really that great. The Harriers do just fine in the VTOL role.

My understanding was that they cost nearly as much as the F-35 once it's at full production capacity, so we'd rather have F-35's than F-16's. I don't agree with this personally, I think we should cut our losses already and get rid of the F-35 program. It's been nothing but a shit show. Even it's stealth capabilities…

My Explorer Sport Trac is yellow. I love it, impossible to miss in a parking lot lol.

From my understanding the Kawi and Yami just wern’t very good. Gotta remember Kawi’s MX bikes didn’t even get good until the late 80s early 90's. 

It started because of how much the British helped the Japanese car industry after the war. They've put badge names in English ever since to pay respect.

A $30,000 bike feels like a $60,000 car, is the simplest way I can put it. The build quality and feel is much more premium than any car in that price range.

Flat towing has always seemed an odd practice to me, your already in a gigantic unwieldy vehicle. Is it really so much more trouble to tow a trailer, and have whatever vehicle you like? Or at the very least save the wear on your car.

“YES!”-Me when he pulled the cover off the Gpz900..

Why is this a big deal? This has happened with every analog stick controller I’ve ever owned. The springs wear down over time, unevenly at that, so the stick won’t center itself anymore. 

Having owned a Mazdaspeed 3 I can tell you it was not the greatest hot hatch. It always felt like a rough compromise, like it needed more time in development. Don’t get me wrong it was fun, but it needed a fair amount of extra bits to make it a perform well. Unless I’ve was carving up a canyon, it usually just made me…

This, I was also taught to travel in track 2 in an AMA safety course. Didn’t take long to realize what a load of rubbish that was. Always stay in track 1 or 3.

Yes! road bikes fit shockingly well into a mini-van and the deck height is perfect!

Why? The U.S. bike market is tiny compared to India/SE asia and Europe.
