The other day i couldn’t think of one... then I remembered... I was driving my 1 year old son to a child swimming class and see a brand new X5M pass me driving pretty much normal... I was checking it out, because M. Then i see a guy in a 10 year old corolla come speeding up beside him in a turn lane hanging out his…

You know what I love? Reading a story on liveleak, then the next day reading the same story on cnn, then on the third day reading the same story on jalopnik.

If an uber driver isn’t a contractor... nobody is a contractor. They are the perfect definition of contractors... I mean... the whole point of this article is what? Contractors are treated like contractors and Uber makes lots of money! If they made less money it would be ok?

Meh, needs more pop-up headlights.

Strap slips off wheel and wraps around axle as bike starts... and with much mechanical advantage of a 1" pulley.... starts sucking the line back in and turns the wheel into a taco, eats a human, or snags something else important. Granted... it is a great trick, but one to use with much caution. Would I do it? Sure.…

Really, the only explanation of a dry nitrous system is, they shouldn’t exist. period. I mean, sure with a standalone you can program for “wet” with fule coming from existing injectors/hardware and inject only nitrous, which is actually better than a nozzle if the fuel system can support it... but, any other method of…

I picked up a sweet Honda/HRC (motorcylce) shirt I found for sale at a gas station in east texas off I-20. I had no spills... just caught my eye. And why is for sale at a gas station in the middle of nowhere? Don’t know, don’t care.

But the numbers give you pretty good view into that. It makes more or less the same peak torque as a R1, but peaks come about 2,000 RPM sooner. In general... expect 65 lb/ft around 4,500 RPM. It will be more inclined to rev than the XSR, but closer to the XSR, than it is to a standard R1. Everything will happen about…

Should be 160.4 HP @ 11,500 - 81.8 lb/ft @ 9,000

Carb cleaner just stings for a few minutes.... it’s things like aluminum shavings from grinding and the such that is really bad. At least ferrous metals will rust away.

... With two hungry michillens, and a top spot in the field... You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel..

Bs. Full fix is easy. Flash Ecu to run like it does in test mode. The gas mileage will take a hit. The reason they did it was to run lean and get numbers that emissions would not allow. Then pay off for the mileage hit. And throw in a warranty for any reliability issues from said tune.

Too much power? No. Sorry son. Too much wheel hop.

Looks like diff to me as well. If I remember right, viper has a viscous clutch hybrid diff. If you double power and traction it likely slips a lot more before lock up. He needs something that a straight spool or mechanical lock. Looked like it hit 1 wheel drive mode.

You don’t have any Putin vodka? My best friend is from the motherland, I get him to bring me back several bottles each year :)

You just get it? I did 30k the first year I owned a 05 r6. All city too. I just loved to get out and ride.

I don’t think it happens as much as it used to. In 1984 with the release of the brand new 300ZX, there was a 85th anniversary addition. This was a very clear package... all were turbo, only model with 16" wheels, fender flares, side skirts, embroidered leather seats with speakers in them... etc. You will find a TON of…

Dunno about touring type tires... but I’ve ridden in many a downpour on sportbikes and my major take away was how little loss of traction there is. Sure, some loss of traction, but you can still accelerate and brake at astonishing levels in the rain, more than any car on the road.

Ummm, dude. The hot part of the summer is 4 months long, with average highs in the 90s those months. Some people like it here...

I have never had my oil changed at a shop, any car or motorcycle i have owned. Not because I enjoy it, not because it’s cheaper, but because I had already seen and heard of 100 stories like this by the time i was 16.
