I have no idea how they make a 500 put out that little HP. I’m sure it’ll be fine on side streets and some arterial roads, but if you are a big guy like you say, I wouldn’t plan on any long trips on the interstate. I’m sure it’ll probably get you up to 60 or 70 but you won’t have anything left to respond if needed. It…

Would you want to go from watching Keeping up with Kardashians to fantasizing about one day keeping up with the Flintstones?

The PC term is “metric cruiser”

It is hard to fault the company, they make a lot of money on branding. You can fault the customers if you want.

They may have a slight power to weight advantage over the Cherokee, just a little bit.

Yes. If you really believe that then yes. It is your duty, every citizen’s duty, to disobey unjust laws. That is actually the ONE and ONLY part of the statement that Huckabee got right. But be prepared to go to jail. As the eternal optimist, admirer of the human spirit, bright side looker, and silver lining seeker, I…

I think they were trying to make this point in the movie Ice Station Zebra...

Ha. Youngsters these days...

Oh, come on. Setting jumpers on your peripheral cards to avoid IRQ conflicts was the best part.

I remember how thrilled I was with the first CD-ROM game where I didn’t have to change disks 8 times just to do the install.

And has conches

I rode a CVO Road Glide Ultra and I rode a Gold Wing and the ONLY reason I can think of why a GW would be more comfortable on the highway than the HD is the smothness of the engine. Everything else is minor and trades back and forth. Of course I wouldn’t actually buy either of them (yet, I’m not 60).

A10 pilots may object

You realize that the average age of a US Army recruit is only 20, right?

Don’t get me wrong, all the “cool” brands have their cult followers, and I don’t have any issue with that. I honestly don’t see that many HD “trailer queens” but then I guess I don’t go to the places where I would expect them to be. I do see lots and lots of HDs on the street. Definitely more than any other brand…

It does? Why have I never seen that?

split lanes

Clearly you do not. You see, you don’t want all your eggs in one basket. If a program gets prematurely canceled (premature meaning the customer has money left) you need something to carry you over. You need to have starts and stops overlap so you minimize staffing bathtubs. Not that you care about the employees, but…

Not that I’m a fan, but at least it is street legal.

Meh, I might get one eventually, but it will be like this as I get older... Current bike > sport tour > Harley > Gold Wing > Can Am > this thing, but by then I’ll need help getting out of it as low as it is.
