So basically LeMons but with money? I met a guy who did the Ferrari challenge years ago and he said the opposite. He said they were all so careful to not damage their cars that if you were at all aggressive everyone would part like the Red Sea and you would be guaranteed a podium with the one or two other crazies.…

IDK why, but I was laughing way too hard at this. Reminds me of people “you can’t like your own post”ing.

Evo’s torque vectoring was the diff, not the brakes. And the Sti’s is on the front brakes. And it is always off, before I even back out of my garage. It’s horrible and inconsistent.

“But whether it’s the GT40 and Enzo Ferrari or the Chevy Corvette and the BMW M4, both of them historically underestimate the stubborn will of Americans.”

It’s a crutch, but yes, it does make it easier to have your head turned in the direction you are going. But when you tell a noob (and I use the term with love, having done in-car instructing with many) that they need to look at their exit, they are going to fixate. It is the over simplification that is the issue.…

If it weighs like a duck, and it turns like a duck, then I’m going to give her a pass on the Challenger is a truck thing.

Is it just me, or is every single vehicle on the Buyer’s Guide an SUV? What have you done to Jalopnik, you monsters!

#9 is incorrect, at least as most people understand it. You should never fixate on anything, but keep your eyes on a swivel constantly focusing on different things. It was the #1 thing Ken Hill and Scott Russell pounded into us at their school, and is also what my friend who raced WTC and various professional…

Rofl have you seen the base Obamacare? AKA the one employers will actually use? $5k deductible.

The three rules of riding: Smoother, smoother, smoother. That’s it. Everything else flows from that.

Maintaining the dancer would be cheaper in the long run.

Especially don’t crash a Ducati on the left side, or you will need new timing chain and gears. Even if it is in the dirt. Oh and Hypers don’t like dirt.

I’ve never gotten hurt crashing, knock on wood, but I’ve had a few pretty dramatic crashes including looping one, sliding sideways through 6 lanes of city traffic, and a Peter Pan-esq high side, but the most falmboyant of all was on my new-to-me ZRX1200R. I was slowing down for a light and one of the handle bar clamp…

I’ve essentially done that, though on a much less powerful car. When I was in between fun street cars, I used to take my Spec E30 out on the weekends and relatively haul ass around the local mountains. I did it often enough that I didn’t want to wear out the track tires, so I would use the “give me the cheapest tire…

Yeah that’s what I think as well, but between the cold and the new bike I picked up I haven’t messed with it in a while. I read that the nozzle has to hit the little rod that hangs down so it will splash, so I was planning on checking that then trying to make it open earlier. It looks like it is pointed in the right…

That might be the list I saw a few years back, and like you said I just found some helmets on there I’d pretty strongly disagree with their assessment. I guess it isn’t as un-arbitrary a metric as I’d thought.

The 510 runs like butter, for a single, but the PC is more for if I get a bad tank of gas since the power map required shorting out the 02 sensor.

Yes, everyone can get along. Here is an Evo keeping up foreign relations:

If you want to do a super solid for the entire motorcycling community: a spreadsheet of general fit for all the helmets. Long oval, round, short oval, wide, narrow, etc.

I want a V-Due really bad, but I’m realistic about it being a once or twice a year and the rest of the time in pieces kind of bike. I also want to drop a CR500 in a 250 frame. I love 2 strokes, probably because the couple next door has 3 Prii for just the two people.
