When I first saw the XDiavel I thought every single part on it was too perfect to remove or modify (if you’ve seen it in person, you know what I mean). But this concept blows that notion to bits.

Ah, that abrasion on his face probably came from him snowboarding behind an F40. MADMAN!!!!

....or maybe our armed forces just don’t put on an Instagram slide show every time they train in the snow.

Cool! Thanks for following along. Finishing up Europe now. The next ride should be a bit of a change of pace. Stay tuned!

To all those who don’t quite understand—it’s helpful to keep in mind that these are the same guys who brought you the Manigale calendar (on right).

If a 701 was the only bike you owned and you had to give your 100lb girlfriend a ride to work on it every day, how much weight could she gain before you made her take the bus?

The current crop of MVs have always been sexy as hell, but those fueling issues sounded nightmarish. Happy to see those issues have been resolved.

Underneath what appears to be a huge marketing blunder is actually a genius marketing tactic. Honda figured out a way to emphasize in a very public way that there are only two easily issues with the NSX and both are easily remedied.

A Toyota/Lexus employee must be working for another manufacturer. Sabotage is the only thing that can explain the hideousness of the front ends for the past couple years.

All the cool kids in the hood will have (stolen) Lincoln Continental door handles on their refrigerators by 2017. I know I will!

Perhaps the design team at Lexus wanted even the blind to sense the blatant ugliness of the LCs face as it cruises by.

If Buick continues to put out cars like this, it might only take 7-10 years to overcome the stigma currently associated with owning a Buick. ‘Course, Buick could just change their name and rewrite of the brand overnight.

Other than those limp-wristed tulip mirrors, this could pass as the next-gen, mid-engined ‘Vette.

THIS: “Slow down, increase your follow distances, and be smooooooooothe. Also, loosen up on the bars.”

This helmet will make the guy in stunter-gang videos who stands up on his motorcycle backwards to film his whole crew completely obsolete. Guess he’ll have to learn a new dope trick.

Here’s the issue: “comprehensive protection against unexpected repair costs.”

Here’s a good trick: scroll down past articles you’re not interested in.

Same happened to me on my S2000 during lap one of a race at Buttonwillow. I buggered the valve adjustment on that cylinder, which resulted in pressure high enough to blow the spark plug and all but two threads through the proverbial roof.

Thanks for the thorough write-up. I was expecting the Africa Twin would trounce all the competitors into the dirt in the dirt (whew), but not expecting it to be dead last on the road. Honda has always focused on finding balancing between two extremes (which is why I never really fell in love with one of their bikes),…

Something about the hardcore expression on this guys face tells me that, at some point in the development of the car he said, “Fuck paddle shifters and fuck ECU rev-matching. Unless I heel-toe my way up the mountain, a sub-10 ain’t shit.”
