I think the listed top speed is something like 135. But I’ve never managed more than low 120s (indicated, and before my gear reduction). I’m just joking around.

130 on an SV650? Downhill with a tail wind?

Put 80k miles on one (bought at 100k, now has 180k) and has been legit the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Isn’t every thing that David Tracy buys a Crack Pipe?

Happy Halloween! Here’s a famous, fast Jaguar E-Type hearse to contemplate as you plan your night’s house-toilet-papering route and reasonable escape plans.

i live in SoCal and i agree with your +/- 15 minute difference in arrival times. however, my boss is cool with me coming in late (up to an hour every once in a while). i feel that if your boss is not as cool as mine, then plan accordingly and leave at 7, 6:45, or 6:30. it sucks but that’s part of taking a job you know…

Sounds like you could leave at 7am and have no worries.....

THIS. It makes me happy that lots of people out there like motorcycles and want to help, but bending the rules just creates dangerous situations. People: the best thing you can do to help us is to BE AWARE and follow the rules.

Here’s a really important one: If you are late, it’s probably your own fault. Don’t take it out on everyone else.

Very rarely are you late because of a cyclist, pedestrian or slow moving traffic. You are late because you waited until the last minute to leave and expected perfect conditions on the road. So now, you are…

The polite thing drives me bonkers. Not only does it cause slow downs but it causes accidents. If you have the right away, you go. If you have a sign (or lack of sign) telling you to do something, do it. There’s an entrance at a shopping center near me where it’s a 3 way intersection. Cars coming off a major strip…

Fun.

Oh wow, I hate these headlights. I’m trying to think of how they could look worse and I’m at a loss for words.

I’ve thought about this, and if more people used more of the left lane, it wouldn’t be a problem and traffic would get less backed up in the right lane. Gotta get that zipper merge as far down as possible. It feels like a queue but it’s more like there’s two and one isn’t getting utilized.

Nope. You can’t hold hands and shift.

if you teach your daughter to drive stick and give her a car with one then you have to worry less about the boyfriend driving the car and heck maybe it saves her life.
