This is hilarious since this is the same organization that lets Maldonado race.

Santa Ana, where there are no cool kids.

Good to hear. I just received my first Bell in 30 years.

Just contact VW directly... if you continue to google... you’ll keep getting the “want to sue VW” stuff as well.

Yeah, they’re a super smart company.

No I got you, I think I used the wrong phrasing. I guess they had quite a few fail, so they extended the warranty...

Sorry, I can’t take any helmet buyers guide seriously if the Bell RS-1 isn’t mentioned. It is, hands down, the best helmet in that price range and can be had for under $300 on sale. Not to mention the available photochromaic visor

Of course each maker fits different heads better, and the scorpion is a great helmet, but…

He’ll have more time now to play the piano.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I’m really hoping for an 800 cc one from them at some point. In the cream/blue/red it would be stunning

Same here - bought my JSW in October 2014. I might have been suckered, but honestly I’m hoping that they offer some sort of voucher to trade in for a new model. This would probably be better for two reasons:

The 2015 probably won’t. If it does, it should just be a flash.

Nobody! Apple’s Garamond typeface used for printing was an 80% condensed variant of ITC Garamond. That’s a full width face, most likely ITC’s. Look at the round ‘O’ in ‘Operating”.

I actually just bought a black R1200S two weeks ago. Boxer with shaft drive is quintessential BMW but with enough power to throttle-wheelie in first. For my 6’ 5” frame, its also the only sportbike I don’t look like a clown on. So much character, I hope Motorrad makes this bike.

There’a an old saying about, “never sell your toys!” This goes doubly so if your toy is a ‘07 1200s.......

At 32 I've learned that the sport bike position is not good for a long commute. But I'm still good with the more uprightish position on my monster, and definitely in the cushy-ness of my multistrada.

That's beautiful. I could even get over the boxer design with a bike like that.

Isn't that a Suzuki Esteem? LOL.

The plan was to wait out winter in a stormy cottage on the coast of Ireland while I finished a novel. Started out well, but a near-fatal infection convinced me to return home. How's it go? Oh yes:

I ought to have been more specific with that statement, the small city where I was ticketed has an extremely low crime rate. Same with most of the area around me, yet you still see 6+ cop cars sitting on a four mile stretch of road all day doing nothing but giving traffic tickets.
