30 year motorcycle rider, I just bought a Triumph Rocket III sidecar in Olympia, WA, last Friday and did 1220 miles down to Los Angeles in two and half days. Weather gods granted me a brief less-rainy window, but still cold and super foggy around dawn and dusk. Took the whole trip to remember NOT to put my foot down…

N is for Nitrogen!

To keep costs down, Honda is apparently looking to build this bike around a 750cc parallel twin.

MANDATORY riding gear - Shadow Trooper helmet.

A larger percent probably can’t tell you what variety of engine is in THEIR OWN car.

Sold for $24k.

Tasty space-age logo!

“Professionals” AKA whichever Mid-Western meth-heads managed to show up at the factory that week.

I learnt to clutch on dirt bikes. The hand-to-foot translation was sometimes troubling, especially when pulling the turn signal lever to come to a stop :P

They buy it for their KID’S truck to run over bicyclists with.

Probably immediately run it into guardrail...BACKWARDS

911s have zero swagger in Los Angeles. They are a dime a dozen and just as common as Beetles in the 70s. Even Taycans rapidly became commonplace. I’d pay a premium to be in an NSX or anything else.

My 78 year old mom has a Versa Note. I don’t find it distasteful at all. It’s a cheap, light, no nonsense, durable little analog car that feels not to far removed from the Sentras we had in the late 80s.

BMW’s Telelever is also a hybrid reference point for separating loads:

And the almost as amusing - NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

These will soon end up as surplus sold to US police to replace spike strips for ending high speed chases.

The easier to locate it when it gets stuck on a trail it can’t turn around on ;)

There ought to be some value to being the ONE “major” sports-cars only maker, where Race on Sunday, Soccer Practice on Monday doesn’t hold sway.

Or that dropping one wheel over the ledge will at best initiate a roll over.
