Yes, sort of. You can lower the pressure in any building by having a system that pulls air out, it doesn't need to be particularly powerful one. That will create a pressure differential, enough to pull air thru cracks, and can usually be felt when opening the front door (the low pressure is enough to produce a force…

You're certainly right that in order to simulate driving up the mountain properly, air would have to be sucked out of the room.

One thing they don't appear to be able to simulate is air pressure. Cooling an engine gets really difficult as the air gets thinner.

If you look at the fuel cap of most sport bikes, you'll see the bezel held on with 5 allen bolts, in a nice star pattern. Typically, only 3 of those bolts are real.

They get more money for setting shorter yellows. When have you known people to do the right thing when they are getting paid not to?

Props on the cool video, but the tires seems like an awful idea, at least for racing applications.

People can do whatever they can get away with. Police can get away with a great deal.

Without a doubt. The only modification more common than a slip on is the fender/turn signal delete.

From what I remember when that argument came up in court, it was pointed out that the motorcycle in question had a performance enhancing exhaust, thus could not be compared to a stock motorcycle. I don't think the exhaust manufacturer could have asked for a better endorsement. Can you imagine a slip on that can bring…

In his defense, his various enterprises are delivering amazing results, and amazing results are really hard.

Sometime ago, there was a guy speeding on a bike in arizona, who was "clocked" by a passing aircraft and given a ticket for a speed that his bike could not possible have achieved. You may have heard of it, it was going somewhat viral at the time. I remember that the bike was an RC51, I don't remember the alleged…

I have a friend who is a bit of a world traveler. As such, he is licensed to drive in several countries. When pulled over in the states, he presents his foreign license, and neglects to mention that he has a domestic one. Since he has a rather strong, but hard to identify accent, no one questions this.

Many years ago, I decided to race an off duty officer on a public road. I didn't know he was an off duty officer, but he was on the same road as me, traveling in the same direction, which was clearly an invitation to a race, as far as I was concern. Given that I was piloting a sport bike, and he a minivan, it is safe…

Agreed. I don't right away see any reason why you couldn't apply a two stroke diesel principals to a direct injected two stroke gas engine.

For the caps. How else are you going to get ammo and weapons?

Whats tricky about a transverse gearbox? I always thought early manufacturers went with RWD because it took a while before we could build reliable CV joints.

Or down. Or sideways. Predictions are hard.

I bet they care about the level of smug the can emit, and the level lessens when people can fill up their old suv on the cheap.

Because natures way of handling it smells really bad.

A diesel two stroke doesn't work the same way that a conventional 2 stroke does. There is no reason why it should be particularly dirty.
