I wish that Harley made a modern version of the VR1000

Try making that from an aircooled. I have a 2-liter aircooled from Porsche that made 88 horsepower stock, so yeah. 

This is peak america

1973-1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.

Still the top selling brand in one of the biggest markets...

There’s a lot to like here, but WTF is going on with that monstrosity of a rad? JFC.

To be even more fair, Harley’s built exactly what their customers have wanted, and everyone that isn’t a customer, hates them for it.

Anyone watch the Bagger Race at Laguna Seca the other day? Thought it was a joke at first and turned out to be some of the best racing I’ve ever watched. Reminded me of the days of the Pan America with Cadillacs racing on roads they should never have attempted. Dangerous. Exciting. Unpredictable. Basically the things…

I’m a millenial who started with a Yamaha, got into Triumphs and then decided to get a large touring motorcycle. Since I already had British bikes in the stable, I wanted something built in America. I decided on a Indian Chief Vintage, but if Polaris had not done the amazing job re-inventing Indian, I would be riding…

not to mention, the skill level of a Blue Angel pilot is simply on an entirely different planet than the average general aviation or hobbyist pilot. Also, the technical capabilities of the F-18s they fly make a plane like this one look like a wind-up toy by comparison.

I am told it is but I see helicopters go under the Golden Gate bridge all the time so I’m not sure.

I see where you are getting caught up and it is super confusing to differentiate between what laws apply where. Port State Control refers to a specific inspection regime within the IMO framework. This is different from port and coastal state jurisdiction which refers to a state’s application of its laws to its own…

“As of this writing, Canada has the virus far more under control than the U.S. with 117,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 8,945 deaths.”

Isn’t sneaking across a border wrong period???

The problem is the author presented more than just a direct quote from NPR. They provided a derogatory statement against US boaters in general without doing ANY research to validate the story. A single Google search would tell you that AIS is not required for recreational boats in the US. 

Author is unaware of the difference between a passenger ship vs. a recreational vessel, presumably on purpose because it would negate her theory that these 1%rs they are purposefully turning them off to avoid detection.

Thank you. Was about to post the same thing. The misinformation on this site has been terrible lately. I’ll further add that a decent percentage of recreational boats with AIS only have the receiver portion to see other traffic, not the transmitter to broadcast their AIS info. This trend started when AIS receivers…

The bit about every passenger boat needing an AIS transponder is wrong.  Certain commercial vessels do.  The majority of private boats do not.  However, as costs have fallen precipitously in recent years, it is becoming more common for private operators of small boats (aka your “yachts”) to have them.  Useful for…
