The mystery deepens... WE4 looks similar, aside from having blacked out front bumper trim.

The RC 148 made the 166 look like a fat pig in comparison. 5cyl 124cc, 21500 plus rpm, and 8 speed gearbox. Also has the distinction of being one of the loudest racing engines of all time. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/289/15555/Moto…
It's funny, in motorcycle applications Sachs are near the bottom of the brand-name shocks and are considered a cheap OEM option. Usually found on base models. Ohlins is usually the best off-the-shelf choice, Penske is a great option if you don't care about having the iconic gold anodized bits to show off at the…
Today, yes. Back in the good ol' days they were competitive with mid-level sports cars. 1956 356 Speedster was $2995, a Corvette was slightly more. Of course the Speedster was a stripped out tub with a weeny four cylinder...
One of my favourite Wankel-powered machines, the Van Veen OCR
Infiniti reminds me of a boss I had who simply could not leave well enough alone. Times are good? Change everything. Times are bad? Change everything. Someone else is doing something different? Change everything to be better than them. Someone else screwed up? Change everything to not fail like them.
Target fixation, lack of reaction time, lack of situational awareness, poor braking technique, not giving leeway to idiot drivers on the road, also focussing on the road directly in front on his bike (if the camera is anywhere near his line of sight, you'll notice he is focussed on the speedo and the road 20 feet in…
I don't like American cars. But I'd totally rock an early 90s Fox-body 5.0 Mustang GT. Preferably with the full Cobra bodykit. I'd gut the interior and do some mild work on the motor for a daily-driver-deathtrap.
I worked for one such place. That's where I learned the trade, from a crusty, tight wad mechanic whose practices were 30 years behind the times.
Uh, are you suggesting you didn't have enough before seeing this?
You think this is complex? You're adorable.
Another former G50 owner chiming in.
I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. But I can't delete the geedee comment to hide my shame.
The two-wheeled Hindustan - the Indian Royal Enfield, in production (with relatively minor updates) since 1955. http://royalenfield.com/
Edit, can't find proof to back up statement.
"You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your face in a fan."
That's precisely why I do all of my own work, because I've seen asshat mechanics do far worse that mess up a tire change.
Another (former) cyclist who hates cyclists here. Can't stand the uppity, road hogging assholes who bitch and moan about how their titanium addled douchecycle costs more than most cars. I was poor. I did 50km runs on a mountain bike with semi-knobblies. later upgraded to a fancy-pants 350$ hybrid. I did a 130km run on…
LeMons all the way! If he refuses to budge on the price, I'd pay 499$ for the car and give him a 301$ tip for his trouble.
I agree, and disagree. There are two camps of Ducati owners. Die hards like myself that own the old generation of bikes that were cantakerous, fragile, and utterly endearing to ride, and the new poseurs who buy Ducati perfume and ride a late model machine they bought because it was Italian and sexy. Nowadays the only…
