In the same vein, reminds me of the old Saab cupholders that would pop out then rotate.

Norton Commander. NOT the Commando. During one of the many attempts to restart the brand, the Commander was developed as a rotary-engined touring bike. Available in the late 80's and early 90's, it used multiple parts from Yamaha to make it offerable.

Buick Roadmaster. Give me a modern Land Yacht!

Of the three bikes, get the Guzzi. T-Bird is overpriced. And you’ll outgrow the 250 quickly. It’s got the cool factor and it’s always fun to confuse people when you say you’ve got v-twin that isn’t a Harley or even a Ducati.

I will continue to espouse how nice owning Mazdas has been.

David Tracy’s Postal Jeep Saga.

Happy to see Mazda not on the list. We’ve had three CX-5s and have had little trouble with any of them.

“India-based brand” may have been a clearer description.

*Looks at pictures*

The CB750 looks nice. Non-original pipes but that’s normal these days. The rest of it looks quite nice. If you’re looking for that same feel of the CB750 for you and your boo on something new, Triumph would probably be your best option.

Sounds to me like this mom was afraid of her own child. She did things to placate him and avoid violence, much like an abusive spouse.

This one is tricky. One on hand, it’s a unique bike with a cool background. It would be a hit at any VJM meet. On the other, there’s too many red flags for a used bike to make this a slam dunk. Unknowns about fees and what’s really lurking inside.

I missed this question. But...

“Make more bikes yellow.”

FYI, modern passenger seats on planes are certified for 16g head-on impacts and 14g down-force (among a myriad of other tests). I’m curious what kind of g-forces were measured in those commercial plane tests.

Nope. For that price I’m willing to get a properly set up actual British classic like an Norton Commando or Triumph Bonneville. Prices have begun cooling and you can get one for this or better that will have 10x the retro-coolness factor.

I’m going to skip the cars and go right to the motorcycles. In no particular order:

They do parallel each other pretty well but there are some noticeable differences. The whole racial subplot doesn’t exist in the book as the home owners are white.

That movie was weird. Like they tried to stick to the book but, much like the book, couldn’t figure out how to resolve anything.

Fully agree with getting these things out and about instead of as static displays. The Wheels Through Time Museum here in NC makes sure all of their bikes/cars (and an airplane!) are all in running condition. Their slogan is “The Museum That Runs” for good reason. They can take anything on display and run it with…
