Perhaps they need a Saturn-like dealer model for the electrics, smaller stores away from the traditional HD stores? Maybe in malls like Tesla?

You know what though, this does remind me (somewhat) of Porsche in the early nineties. They tried for a generation to replace the air cooled and flawed 911 but failed with things like the 928 and 924 etc and they were too scared to make even minor changes to that car or the brand. why? Because Porschophiles would…

Exactly. $20,000 for a machine with pushrods? GTFO.

What they don’t want heavy slow underpowered overpriced status symbols for old people?

My eardrums sure won’t miss them going by my house without baffles on a regular basis.

I will never slag anyone’s choice of motorcycle, but if it came down to a Monster 821 and my XSR900, I’d take the XSR every time— more bike with more fun for less money.

the thing is... we’re talking about ICE here. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. they’ll be using this system not to prevent “wrong doing” or “atrocities”, but to target brown people. of course they’ll be very thankful to the conservative press for coding these racist discussions in vocabulary of “atrocity…

Hardly surprising. VW just happened to be the first one caught with their pants down.

Good work! I love reading your articles; there’s something relaxing about seeing such a pedantic, tidy approach to vehicle repair, as opposed to the David Tracy-esque chaos that I usually see.

I used to sell cars here in denver, and yeah, that AWD sells man, they all think they need it, and they will spend more to get it.

My thought is that they just want to learn everything firsthand and have their own crashes. *Shrug*

My car has 435 hp, stock. Let’s say that you’re taking 30% of it for thin air. That’s still 305 hp, which is plenty of hp unless you’re challenging a Pike’s Peak record.

This. The videos are as much a learning tool as they are a warning. Riders encourage other riders to watch them, not out of a grim and grotesque fascination but out of the desire to try to eliminate them from repeating themselves.

Riding is inherently dangerous, education helps to make it somewhat less so.

Supercharged instead of turboed, but right there with you living in Denver. My old NA was so winded going over the passes.

Name checks out.

Yup, give me turbos. All day, every day.
