Once upon a time I did field service on IT equipment. My boss would get really PO’d because I refused to answer the phone when driving, even though I would pull over and call back within a couple of minutes. 

Or, here’s a thought, it should be the driver’s responsibility to make sure neither they nor their cars crash into things.  But history has proven that’s too much to ask of some idiots, so in this case we have to figure out why this guy wasn’t paying attention.  Clearly he had a false sense of security and was more…

So a government bureaucracy, an entity least equipped to do anything efficiently, is going to levy crippling fines against the companies in the best position to help vehicles become more efficient. 

It’s an car.

Neutral: How about just no subsidies for any cars. Stop trying to raise my taxes all the time.

It’s a solution that only works in a place that has good public transportation, or for people who can walk to work.

Hahahahha! Henceforth, all new Bugattis should be referred to as Million Dollar Jellybeans. The perfect encapsulation of new Bugattis, in my opinion.

The hoop-headrest Recaros are classic 80s.

Look im not knocking the ducati, but one of those bikes is as timeless and beautiful as it was 40 years ago, and looks as good and turns heads in the same way it did 40 or 50 years ago. NO offence to the Diavel its a beautiful bike . But 50 years from now they aren't going to be making a bike like that and the triumph…

This was originally a half fairing bike someone put full fairings on at some point during its life. I don’t hate it.

I’ve done around 3500 miles on a Diavel Carbon, including a lap of the Nurburgring, and I can confirm it’s no slouch, handles way better than you’d expect, but can still plod about slowly too, if that’s what you want. In some ways it’s one of the best bikes in the model line-up. There’s none of the expectation of…

You just basically spent time to type “I need a Yamaha VMax”. There is no competition. Its name alone echoes all the way back to the 80s. 

A half-faired Diavel would certainly be interesting to see...

I started with a 81 Yamaha Seca 650. Rode it for two years and then got a new then 94' Monster 900. That was a lot of bike but usable and not too giant step up from the Seca. Eventually I sold the Monster. Took a break on bikes due to life/family. Got back with a 96' 1200 Triumph Trophy for 4 years and just sold it…

You joke, but let’s not ignore that this was actually done at one point in our history (not even that long ago), and that the people to whom it was done were also viewed as “inferior” and “lesser-beings”.

Annnnnnnd... I rest my case. Pretentious outrage abounds.

The Diavel is an absolutely glorious thing, and as with any bike, the throttle goes two ways; an absolute pussycat to ride gently, and a hilarious lunatic should you wish to enjoy the upper ranges of the rev limit. 

OK that’s just weird - I owned an NT650, a 900SS/SP, a GSXR-750 (close! And was the delightfully batshit early generation), and my best friend owned an RZ350. I was -this- close to getting an RS250 but bailed at the last second.

Big fan of the 900SS, myself.
