I can't tell you how shocked I am to hear a newscaster say "Sport Bike".

Put a Bianchi sticker on it and announce that it is properly referred to as "Celeste Green." Everything will then be okay.

As bad as that is, it looks better than the '93 Camaro's original bodywork.

Looks like 4 of us at this point. It is hideous. It seems like they said, "Hmmm, flame surfacing didn't make it look enough like a 5 year old Toyota, what can we do to fuck it up more? Oh I know, let's droop the bottom so it looks like it has a beer gut."

Number 2 is the most important reason, IMNSHO.

Just to be clear, Jalop hatred is towards the company Ferrari, and some of the newer cars. Folks 'round here get positively silly about gems like the F40. (A car very unlike anything Ferrari makes today.) And in case you haven't noticed, VW, Porsche, Lamborghini and Toyota all catch a ration of shit here, too.

Fuck the haters, Matt. To paraphrase Jay-Z in his cover of Ice-T's 99 Problems, "If you don't like the [content] you can press fast forward."

There's no one on the sidewalk, what is the problem?

I don't really see a safety issue here, (Maybe a little fast on the sidewalk). Sure it is illegal, but so what? The whole concept that traffic needs to come to a grinding halt just because a bus is stopped is fucking stupid anyway.

Just one more piece of shit SNCO avoiding repercussions. I swear responsibility in the Corps ends somewhere between Sergeant and Gunny. This piece of shit make me sick.

This long wide contraption might make weaving through traffic more dangerous, but it is physically impossible for it to be easier. The width and wheelbase of this thing are nuts compared to a modern sport bike. Hell that thing is longer and wider than a lot of cruisers.

Maybe the author just want all these "Girls" to get off her damn lawn.

Absolutely one of the best, most interesting pieces I've read here. Thanks!

Travis I think you are high. This is probably one of the least fugly cars Honda has made in years.

This whole article is undermined both by the condescending tone and the idiotic notion that misogyny is just an extension of the "Girls have cooties" phase that some boys go through.

MT is separate training and not required to get a license. I had had my license for a couple years before I learned to drive a stick.

The front overhang is disgusting. Looks like a bad kit car from the 70's.

The appellation "Squid" has nothing to do with whether or not a rider is new. Squids are the riders who through arrogance or ignorance wear less gear than is appropriate and behave in a generally unsafe manner. I've known plenty of veteran squids and plenty of track-nazi ATGATT newbs.

Thanks for posting that NPR link. Sometimes, here at Jezzy, it is hard to dig through all the snark, leftism and man-hate to actually absorb the facts of the story.
