I worry first about what jobs I might have to do on the bike while underway, and pack from there. Propensity to tweak the fork? Bit to handle the tripletree. Potential to throw a chain? Chain stuff. Potential to lose a tube or tyre? Tyre tools (which, in my case, are a AAA card and my cell phone). And so on. Makes no…

Glad you are in one piece. Wear pants next time, would you?
Well, you would expect an older white guy to be the dead one, sooo....
You need propellant for these things to work. So even if ammonium nitrate is not the best one, you are still looking at an explosive material of some sort.
$8K and I’d be all over this. I love these things.
Yes. He said the other day - mom, why didn’t you tell me about this stuff? I said - you were not interested then. I am glad you are now. Now, we ride. Or drive. Or go poke at the pinch welds on old Hondas.
My weekends consist of being dragged around by my 17YO to look at Honda Preludes. Between the 4WS and the pop-up headlights, he’s off the hook.
Diesel Chevette Scooter.
I remember when I started in LeMons, and Tom Gideon (former NASCAR Safety, GM NASCAR Safety) would quiz me endlessly about safety gear. The whole culture changed, and everyone involved in racing safety came to Jesus in a very quick minute.
Yes, this. Also, FCA owns the AMC IP, not Renault, so it’s a dead horse. A very loverly horse, but a very dead one.

What Was Your Poor Automotive Economic Decision?
Crap. I forgot about my day with the Tata nano. Talk about bizarre......
I hate these people.
OMG NIXIE TUBES!!!!
Does anyone get it right now?
Very interesting. The random testing will be hilarious. The damn TÜV testing is bad enough. Oh, wait, why didn’t the TÜV catch this? Because no dyno. For all of their bluster about testing, my old MkIII passed with flying colors and let’s just say that it was not in the best shape. VCDS to the rescue on that one.
The fireman role is what we would call the bagman in the US.
I am deeply disappointed that MotoCorsa’s Hello Kitty bike did not make the cut. These are all serious motorcycles, and we need to have a bit less of that now and then.
