Yeah. I did. The mechanical stresses on a motorcycle are insane and the room for error when something goes wrong is zero. You can brand-identify all you want, but the price tag tells it all. You cannot make something good for no money. If you cannot afford a good motorcycle, buy a bicycle. The same goes for gear. You…

“serious impairment of bodily function”?

No. I mean, just, no. Riding is risky enough with reliable equipment. Putting your ass on the line with some cheapass chinese crap? nope.

but but but...the crowd...everyone was, on purpose, standing right next to a couple of vehicles that were doing hi-speed, dangerous shit. is there some responsibility there? if you get gored at Pamplona - is it all on the bull?

WHO THE FUCK SAID ANYTHING ABOUT CAR CRASH TESTS?

in a car-car crash the “receiving” car moves away from the point of impact along the impact vector and absorbs some of the impact stresses. and the whole thing takes some time and so the decel rate also absorbs some energy into the time domain. in a car-ground crash the deceleration takes essentially zero time and the…

F=MA but not a single goddamn person knows what the heck M is. I can confirm.

Note that NK has NEVER said they are going to shoot Guam with a missile containing a warhead or even that they intend to shoot Guam itself. They have said they will fire “test” missiles, with no warheads, into the waters around Guam as a way of showing that they have the capability to do so. This seems to me a legit…

actually, this is precisely what Russia is doing to the US. it is called “subversion” and it is the process Russia followed to cause the US to elect Trump. the news folks got the story wrong when they focused on “hacking” which most folks interpret to mean doing some computer stuff to change or steal votes. what was…

not even a little.

I think there is a route via the “XR” variation. the 1200 Sportster engine is really a good engine and the XR (the flat-track profile) is a potential winner if they can keep it light weight, low, and performance oriented. they sort of tried it with the XR1200X, but the stupid bigass exhaust pipes were lame and it was…

“...rather see the company go under...”

Get a coach.

you can’t fix the problem when you are the problem.

that car has no frame.

Actually, no one knows what “Americans” think. We know what we think individually, but as a group we only know what the TV people tell us. How the hell do I know what my neighbor really thinks? I don’t. Neither do you. You don’t know what Canadians think. You know what the news people tell you they think. So, do…

when ur hot ur hot you really shoot ur shot

just saying.....

endless string of “yeah buts” follows....
