I’m the happy owner of a V-Rod, and looking forward to HD’s upcoming new generation of watercooled bikes.

Meanwhile, Voyagers are travelling interstellar space and might possibly outlive our solar system. 

And then Porsche showed up.

Thanks.  I knew it had something to do with braking and the FRA.

UP and GE utilized three generations of gas turbines for a reason: They ran on heavy residual fuel oil, which in the late 50s and early 60s was considered a waste product of oil refining. Throughout the 60s improvements in refinery cracking technology gradually made heavy residual fuel oil more useful, and thus more…

Freight engines don’t produce head-end power. UP has dedicated power cars (“Howard Fogg 209") lashed up to their business car consists to provide power. I was told modern diesels provide better brake pipe pressure plus can act as backup in case of breakdown.

Germans are tilting dangerously close to “Screaming Eagle” territory.

I’ll see your sportbike “attention” and raise you:

Great, another “I Hate Harley” thread.

Thanks for your factual postings. All ships entering U.S. waters, regardless of flag, must comply with our federal and state clean water regs and emissions regulations.

Who are called “investors”. Returning excess retained earnings (directly via dividends or indirectly via buybacks) to the shareholders allows *them* to make more investments in their own portfolios.

To be replaced with what?

Harley’s original Revolution, Revolution-X and Revolution Max engines are all 60 degree, water-cooled and OHC with an integrated transmission. And they’ve been making this architecture continuously since 2001 in one variation or another.

Yup. 73 cents a gallon, state and feds.

Pendantic, but it’s a Stromberg CDSEV. Constant depression. And remember to check the dashpot damper oil. 

Sometimes that ain’t “wax” or Armor-all, it’s a damned spray-on lacquer shady dealers use to spruce up the engine compartment. Eventually hardens, turns brown, and starts flaking off all over the engine. It’s usually a marker for me telling me “run!”

Not me. Performance (well, straight line), reliability, build quality, looks:

All of the technical discussions I’ve read regarding pillarless coupes points to rollover support for the roof and not side impact.  Having owned an E31 and currently a CL63, I can attest to their solidity and, unfortunately, weight.

Uh, patents?
