Lol, I own and daily a 20 year old Honda rc51. The Harley is probably 20 times better to ride, and parts are actually available. I am not the biggest Harley fan, but this would be on the list of “I at least have to check it out” on my next bike.  

I didn’t see any squids hosting an anti mask rally at the park, and I didn’t grow up in a town where squids oversaw the drug trade.

Yeah, totally none of that group exists on sportbikes...

Sportbike riders are just as bad about that in my experience, just at a higher pitch. They also tend to be the ones weaving through freeway traffic at triple digit speeds. Always fun to have some screaming missile come flying over my right shoulder out of absolutely nowhere while I’m on my commute, and then blast off…

are people really rooting for Harley to fail? Jesus, we are far too polarized. if you’re rooting for Harley to fail, go for a walk and consider smiling once in a while. 

You don’t need to almost kill yourself an 80s Honda Elite with pop-up headlight, robots will come from the future to do that for you.

This. Although, you should definitely try studs on a 5 inch fatty.

Yes.

It’s a very cool shop, and Frank is a good dude.

Y-22: cool-looking, but terrible suspension design. Better off with an old Specialized with Horst Link or an old Rocky Mountain.

You coulda had that repaired at southern Vermont’s premier frame builder, just a bit south of Ascutney: http://www.frankthewelder.com/

This. Cool old steel road bikes are one thing, but early MB’s were super primitive. I was around for the early Mt. Tam beach cruiser conversions (drum brakes replacing the coasters) and had the original Stumpjumper, which was a Tange Prestige lugged frame and full Deore XTR I think. There’s a reason that design went…

What broke?

How many miles is too many? Entirely dependent on the car. My Mother bought my brother a 3yo Dodge Caliber with 25K on it and it was an epic heap from 25001 miles. I have bought 15+yo RWD Volvos with more than 200K on them that gave great service for years.

It wouldn’t surprise me if R32s came with crack pipes.. LOL

It’s ok to not like the choices people make. 

If I want authentic, I’m going with Studebaker.

“Nice wagon, Terry! Did you rent those rims from your cousin?”

we’ve got a 3 legged dog, same missing leg. They took it out at the hip socket, so no nub, but you can tell he’s trying to run in his dreams by the way he moves.

If this were my kid climbing on someones car (it could be a heap, I don’t care) his Xbox would be destroyed, and he’d have to earn the money to buy a tire for my Jeep if I blew one out running it over.
