“and the valves are now titanium for weight reduction.”

The irony is that Dave Matthews is technically more African than Greg, since he was born in Johannesburg.

That’s the point I’m trying to make. And look, I get it. As in any industry, there’s brand value and equity that equates to customer $$$. And is this nicer than a $250 AGV? Yes. Is it $700+ nicer? That’s debatable, like you said.

Never said HJC/Icon/whatever is on the same level of Shoei, but there’s a level of diminishing returns/value, yeah? Oh well, to each their own.

I always hear the whole mantra, “How much do you value your brain?” But all I see is an overpriced helmet that’s charging for the SHOEI name.

Carrie Underwood says yes.

Ford has all the good concepts. I love the Rambo.

I think Austin, TX, for a number of reasons.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t like the Street Fighter look unless that was the original design concept, mostly because there are too many good bikes ruined by assholes on Craigslist who’ve laid their bike down, take the fairings off and call it a street fighter.

American Chopper was actually legit in the first couple of seasons. Less drama, more interesting builds, actually showing some fabrication. Then it all went downhill.

I recently bought an Icon Airmada Salient...and I love it. Fits great, tons of venting without the wind noise. All for under $200. Hate their “bro style” jackets, love their helmets.

Multiple easy-ish repairs completed - starter replacements, alternator swaps, brake jobs (rotors an new pads), radiator replacement, fuel pump replacement, valve cover gasket job (of course on an e46), axle(s) fluid swap...

Vote for Donnelly!

I guess my main question is...why? What’s the consumer market like for a 1,200cc bike made by a low-volume manufacturer? Why not a 599/600?

He has a lot of really shitty Vipers, though. A Spider-Man themed one, a Darth Vader one...http://www.wsj.com/articles/dodge…

You’re at 0? Cause I’m at 12...o’clock. If you know what I mean.

When I was 22, my work gave me $250 to spend on a fancy dinner with my wife. We went to Fleur de Lys in San Francisco. I’m from the Midwest and up to that point had never really been exposed to French food. After we order, our waiter brings out some small dishes “compliments of the chef.” One dish was what looked like…

I’ve done tons of CL transactions for various items, ranging from cars to household appliances. I ALWAYS get the full name of the person I’m going to meet, their phone number and email address to do at least some cursory digging online before meeting them at a very public place during the day. If I can’t find anything…

Looks like the Saleen Raptor.

Late entry! Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT. Fires up at around 0:16.
