Hero bought the IP left over from the consultancy, which was entirely separate from the EBR bikes.

Closer, but not quite. The 1125 Helicon was a Rotax motor, designed and assembled in Austria. Erik bought the IP from BRP, modified the hell out of it to make the 1190, and it was entirely assembled in house in East Troy, along with the rest of the bike.

It’s not my fault...at least I have chicken...

They’ll massage your cock for money. There’s a word for that...I think it’s ‘hooker'.

There was a lack of marketing, and that was something that was unfortunately addressed a little too late.

And the major flaw of the 1190RX and 1190SX was?

Should have checked the market right after the shutdown. I saw dealerships selling them off for as low as 9k.

Amazing how people seem to overlook the fact that both the RX and SX, you know, the production models, had been selling for 15k new for months. The 40k model was limited to 130 vehicles, all hand made.

My time spent in Michigan has taught me one thing: the state government doesn’t give a shit about their roads or what happens on them. No safety inspections, no emissions testing, and clearly no money spent on maintaining the roads.

As others have mentioned, NVH and increased maintenance make them undesirable for a vast majority of consumers. On top of that, some bushings may damp multiple degrees of freedom, in which case the bushing could rapidly deform if not properly maintained.

In related news, it's 7:30, I have a hangover, and I'm going back to bed.

Grand Nationals are already rapidly on the rise. I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to appreciate significantly over the next decade.

If you wanted a 12 speed, it would have 7 sprockets (3 front, 4 rear), 8 sprockets (2 front, 6 rear), or 13 sprockets (1 front, 12 rear).

1. DON'T BUILD YOUR DD.

I couldn't tell you how old I was (8...9, maybe 10?), but I remember the exact moment it happened. My parents were on vacation and dropped my brother and me off at our uncle's house. Just to make sure we didn't destroy anything, my uncle took us to a local stock car race. The garage was separate from the house and…

What do you want to see in Forza 6?

No....really, that's not necessary. Skip Forza 5. It's an unfinished, lackluster game that will make you never want to lay eyes on Forza 6.

According to the first inflation calculator I could find on Google. $46k in 1994 is equivalent to almost $75k today. Unfortunately there's two problems. For starters, a lot of people have no idea how much those twin turbo models actually cost back then, they assume closer to $30k from what I've seen. Second, people…

I've already decided I'm buying a 914 next year. Life is too short to not own a cheap mid-engined car (preferably without a rusted out battery tray and underbody).

Yes. Yes 1000 times. I'm so sad that they're not making a 3rd.
