Factory 650b wheels are pre taped with 27.5+ tires are tubeless compatible. There is a thread on mtbr.com where a few people converted and said it was the easiest bike to do a conversion they have done yet.

My alternative power “vehicle” (on the roof) going tubeless! I’ve never had a bike without tubes, should be fun.

Yeah my first thought was “oh look, a $100k mazda”

Not surprised at all considering the Exelero Concept from a number of years back. Even when the first side profile teaser came out people were noting the similarities.

In the current days of internet transparency, the “shadyness” of dealers has dwindled significantly. I worked in the business for 13 months at a Luxury dealership, did about 12-16 cars a month, I probably had 5-10 “shippers/exporters” come in each month and then multiply that by 6-10 salesmen, you can see the volume…

It certainly could be, I’m just curious about the other side of the story and if this guy did some things that made them suspect since I can tell you, Dealerships do anything they can to sell every car they can unless they truly fear the car is going to export. Short of the Manager being truly ignorant/racist, it…

The story. Shared was of a white guy and his pregnant wife we turned away, I would say 3/4 of the attempted shippers were white. It usually came down to configuration, method of payment and trade vehicle. Like I said this guy doesn’t strike me as an exporter from his side, but when someone came in looking white/black…

Yes and no, you sign a Non Export agreement, also you can lose the privilege to ever buy from the brand again usually. That said, if Mercedes is anything like other luxury SUV makers, the Dealer is accountable if the car is exported and thus will limit sales to anyone too high risk. Wouldn’t be surprised if the…

Hi almost neighbor Justin Hughes. Your area is in fact full of great roads. Here are some more photos I snapshotted when it first came up.

anyone who does not love that show after 5 minutes.

And on that bombshell... G’night

Nailed it

Well at least used parts for VW’s from the last 10 years will be nice and cheap hopefully... this does make me very sad though.

And it’s going to sit inside a garage in Dubai and get about 50 miles use in the next decade... sweet </sarcasm>

Well based on the Air Suspension, Engine and VW/Audi’s history of vehicle towing, should be in 7,500-8,000 range.

Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type have an extremely similar shifter and has the exact same safety measures. These three fail safes were my first thought when I heard this story. Shame really.

Range Rover Sport and Jag F-Type have a similar system (as do many BMW’s) but if you leave the car in neutral and begin to exit the car, the car will force itself into park. through the computer systems. Also they have Reverse away from the driver, Drive is back while squeezing the trigger. neutral goes on by not…

These are actually impressively reliable... the new 2016 has 5 year 60k bumper to bumper with maintenance included as well... I’ve driven every trim outside the SVR and Project 7. If it were in my budget I’d get an AWD S Coupe in a heartbeat.. Maybe 10 years from now I can make it work haha.

I said the same thing after the first episode... The reason the TG2.0 and even now US Top Gear work is because they have chemistry and they are fun. Chris Evans is awkward and not fun. Matt LeBlanc is OK but still a little off. I would LOVE to see Chris Evans as #1 and Rory/Sabine as his cohorts for mischievous…

I drove this back in Fall when I worked for Jag (left in January), they said 2.0t Ingenium engine would be coming, just not at launch. I drove it against the 335i, ATS and Lexus IS 350, the only one that was on par was the 335i. I actually felt at the brink of max performance (the back end sliding out on a closed…
