My thought is that it has nothing to do with performance but with keeping American made vehicles on the force. I’ve seen tons of cop cars from the Big 3, never a BMW, Mazda, etc. which other automakers may have models that would fit just as nicely in the role.

This was worth the price of admission:

I'm surprised the driver was injured - from looking at the damage on the passenger side I thought the injury must have been some poor soul riding shotgun.

For some reason when I saw that dash I thought “is that a WiiU controller?”

From all the articles I’ve come across it looks like they’re getting anywhere from low 40 mpg to low 50mpg... also saw an owner post that he gets 50-55mpg and has been riding it for 10k miles. For the size of the Scout 40-50 mpg doesn’t sound too bad to me. My 600cc motorcycle is in the 40s so my expectations may be

Is this your first article on Lanesplitter, Lindsay?

Those shoes look better after than they did before. What brand is that?

I wish I had more stars to give for that gif.

I’m not sure if the pictures are cgi or the real thing but this is a version of motorcycles already out there. I ran across this elsewhere and was in the same spot you are in. Googling Bitmota Tesi brought up a few real world pictures and I think I did find a review. Even the older versions are still pretty wild.

Good info. Thanks for sharing.

Sean, thank you for all you do - I’ve really enjoyed the new Lanesplitter and realize you’re putting a ton of work into it. I think I’ve commented a few times you need a vacation.

I found his channel and was just going to post something like this. He seems have to taken down the videos of him road raging, but kept a video on there ranting about how he doesn't care about what people think about his road rage videos...

And I would expand your list:

FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T GIVE THEM ANY MORE IDEAS!!!!

Great stuff Sean. Looks like you guys have been running full bore the past few weeks. I'm not complaining as I love all the new content but hope you get some downtime over the holiday!

All great picks!

WTF is wrong with people? They’re acting like the owners bought the car knowing VW cheated on emissions or they think that since owners found out, they should immediately bring the car to a car crusher and eat god knows how much is left on the loan.

I need to ride one of these. I used to think they looked too weird and had never been a fan but it’s really grown on me. Also, I’ve always wondered about the heat on your knee sitting in traffic... Let alone if it’s easy to burn your knees accidentally touching the cylinders.

Would prefer the analog tach. Unfortunately, it seems like they’re going the way to the dodo. All digital dashboards are cool but especially on some bikes the digital tach can be useless unless you're riding around with binoculars attached to your face.
