Rider here, first thought as well. That wide-open lane is a pure idiot magnet in stop-and-go traffic. As a rider, you have GOT to develop your spidey sense-- especially if you’re going to lane split (also agreed: too fast for lane splitting, but I can envision the biker racing to get to that free open lane... but…

Also basic economics: you get more of what you subsidize.

Ouch. Ahhh, German quality...

Does Volkswagen regret no longer offering the R with a sunroof? Because this is the Golf I would totally buy tomorrow if only it still came with a frakkin’ sunroof.

Oh no!

Yup, was coming in here to say just this.

THANK YOU. I was just googling for a good side pic of the second-gen Tibby.

This review proves that just because it’s a naked standard doesn’t make it a commuter bike. This thing is like commuting in a Lambo, dude.

XSR900. You’re welcome.

Having sat in the IS300 and IS350 this week at the DC auto show, I can attest to just being SUPER impressed by their interiors, just a really awesome, futuristic place to sit.

BTW, totally looking to get one of these by summer. THIS is the Miata I’ve always wanted. I promise to even leave the roof up every so often :-)

Counterpoint: No.

Pretty sure that’s an alternator.

I for one didn’t like the callback to Red and Gold leaders, for one painfully obvious reason: it was the same damn footage and audio from Star Wars.

Congrats!

GF wanted a truck, has always wanted a truck, so she bought this truck.

Pretty much all major movies DO schedule reshoots and pickups as part of the standard process, but it’s rarely anything as dramatic as “two weeks on the back.” Rogue One was far more dramatic, by the sound of everything.

In more important questions: are we getting an Episode VIII teaser with Rogue One or not?

Right— sometimes they lost two planes a day.

Interesting question: Has Bond ever ridden a Triumph? Or other British bike?
