Isn’t that what they did in Ocean’s Thirteen?

Are you sure this is just an enlarged version of an existing engine? I’m not sure of any other Ducati engine that’s using a conventional valve spring setup like in this Multi’s V4 vs. their traditional and proprietary desmodromic system. I was under the impression this is a completely new engine.

Cybertruck. If the Hummer EV is bad, this thing is much, much worse. Okay, maybe this isn’t exactly the electrification of an existing vehicle but I find it humorous for this to receive so much appreciation while anything with a Hummer tag on it gets a dosed with hate.

Simplicity isn’t always good. Over 600 deaths attributed to the Ford version, and it was on the losing end of a $20 million lawsuit. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/investigations/2018/05/10/deadly-risks-old-15-passenger-vans-echoes-carrollton-bus-crash/529909002/

While I carry jumper cables in each vehicle, I don’t use them anymore. I also carry one of the smaller jump boxes that are all over Amazon, and are much smaller than the unit above. (I have a booster box similar to the one above). The new boxes are much easier to transport and use and that’s what I use to jump start…

If you’re headed through AZ during this trip and want a riding friend for a few hours, hit me up. I’d love to join you on my Multi. I already stalked/wheeled with David Tracy in Moab, would be good to add another Jalop contributor to the list.

Curious to see how you like the Diavel. It’s been on a list as a second bike to my Multi, but I haven’t heard great things about the ride quality on them. It’ll be great to get your opinion.

Yes, it’s loud enough to be heard over earplugs at any mph. While I haven’t been on the other end of the calls, people I’m talking to are surprised that I’m on my bike.

I suspect these black pieces were all replacements due to rot and/or rust. I had an ‘83 non-convertible, same color and these pieces were all rotted away in 1988, though it was a northern car at times. I think it could be NP with a good inspection of these pieces and the overall condition. And yeah, that 4.1 is a dog.

I’ve been following this on Ducati’s Instagram and think it’s totally cool. He likely got sponsorship money or support for Ducati - and Ducati got a lot of great exposure for it. Seems like a win-win.

I suspect that survey of giving up their truck for a year would get similar results if respondents were asked to give up their car, or more specifically, their primary mode of transportation. The poll was biased and skewed from the outset, and the implied results are nonsensical.

I’m bothered by that front fender whose color doesn’t seem to match in two different photos. I’m not keen on picking up any vehicle that’s been in an accident. Assuming my observations are correct, I’d call it CP. If I’m incorrect, then I’d move closer to NP.

I think that many people, especially women, are put in a place by shop technicians that if you don’t do this NOW, you and your car are in trouble. Too many shops/technicians prey on customers, especially women, to get them to pay too much and too soon for services. It’s a shame that I have to do this, but I act as a…

I have a 2017 1200S with the low seat option. I’m tiptoeing with my 29" inseam, but I’ve gotten comfortable with that. I just don’t pull off onto soft road shoulders.

You don’t need to use the Wayback Machine to find taillights that use the same lamp for turn signal and brake. I was out on an errand after reading this and started to notice a few vehicles from the last five or so years that use the same lamp for both functions. This included LED and incandescent assemblies. Not only…

No, the Hummer H3 headlight and turn signal housings are two different assemblies. Both have traditional bulbs that can be replaced without removing the assemblies. For the headlight, reach into the engine compartment, twist the bulb housing, replace the bulb. Form the turn signal, go in through the wheel well with…

It’s maybe a bit high, but not unreasonable. I wouldn’t mind taking one of these to Moab. They are expensive to build up.

There’s nothing wrong with a simple naming convention and in South Korea it’s easy to track K5s vs other Kias. Naming works well for Audi - no one has issues with A4, A6, A7 confusion, do they?

Is your economy rental vehicle going to be set up for the conditions as required by CO DOT? “Passenger vehicles are required to have snow or mud/snow tires, use chains/alternative traction devices, or be a 4WD/AWD vehicle” 

We had to do a field repair on a Hummer H1 due to the owner’s lack of maintenance. First pic is the failed ball joint; 2nd pic is the same H1 right before the failure, showing where it failed and where we repaired the truck. We had to leave it on that rock because bringing it back down would have destroyed front end…
