Enjoy the Monster for a while, then graduate up. I’ll be honest, I am not at all a fan of the Chromo’s or the Darks for that matter. They all have to be red for me. Both my Monster and my Diavel, RED.

After seeing the Monster at the NY MC show in 93, I went and purchased a brand new one in Red in March of 94. Rode it for 12,600 miles before selling it 6 yrs after buying it. Loved that bike. If yours is in generally good shape you paid a fair price. The Corbin seat and the carbon cans are excellent upgrades. I…

Uh, back in the day it was:

While Red Bull and Scuderia Torro Rosso/Alpha Touri/etc... are the most blatant, there are and have been other teams that support the bigger team (Ferrari/Alfa Romeo; Mercedes/Williams). Look at who supplies engines to who and you’ll see a level of assistance but of course RB being RB, they’ve always stretched it to…

13yo vehicle with essentially zero miles is a timebomb of small and big things going wrong due to inactivity. With that mileage its seen 2-3 tanks of fuel at best, so that’s gotta be flushed out at least. I can imagine alot of other items will come up too.  Hard pass for me on this type of deal.

Assume his monetization of Youtube allows him to afford the insurance and the bikes at this point.

I hate these guys and I ride! All they’ve done is make that type of riding more acceptable for others. Now while I’m prone to riding fast/hard sometimes, I only ride within my skills and the surrounding conditions ie: no squid behavior or outright hooliganism. If our group rides (which are Ducati official sanctioned) g…

I’m in the hate camp for him too. Like you said, he’s caused accidents to not only other riders but even to motorists. Somehow he’s escaped alive and not otherwise permanently damaged. I’d argue while he has a lot of bravado and a good amount of skills, his judgement is suspect with the type of risky moves he makes…

In 1985 I worked at a body shop that had an exclusive with a local BMW dealer to fix their cars. Typically I got to drive tons of 3 series and 5 series of that era and the occasional 7 series and on rarer occasions, the 6. These cars drove beautifully and were built really well. This one is in really good shape and I…

1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super - 1.6L DOHC aluminum motor, with dual side draft weber carbs and a slick 5spd trans. Disc brakes, fantastic suspension, quite aerodynamic for its day. Seats 4-5 and has tons of style and awesome sounds plus fantastic to drive.

Starred for use of wigger which I haven’t heard in years.

Graphics are iconic so being an old I’m down with it. The wheels however aren’t to my taste on this application even though they too remind me of Quattro Sport wheels.

That is my memory of the review too. Essentially saying there is great potential but currently great short comings that can’t over come the positives in the short term. Further, I mean it was essentially a Lotus with lots of laptop batteries stuffed all over the place to power a washing machine motor... I mean I’m…

He now operates in an echo chamber of his own voices and thoughts with delightful idiots happy to sit down with him and amplify the echo.

So? The first 4 years of my wrenching life was spent crawling under my car in my parents gravel driveway with no Garage and we had 4 seasons so that driveway could be muddy/snowy/freakin hot. Oh, and you think jack stands or jacks don’t sink into the ground and F your whole project?

I try not to admit that...

That’s my take on why they open first on the driver’s side.

There is so much pettiness/weirdness that there just has to be a deeper, probably more stupid truth to this whole mess.

Yes as long as they make a Red Rallye Cat version too so I can go back to 1983.

Totally Agree!
