Back when the Coleseum was being repaired, my father and I jumped a couple fences and ran around in the closed off areas until we got chased out by the cops. Charriot racing counts, right?

Plexiglas ring sandwiched between the cone and frame, with LEDs around it? My brother has the patent on those, though he doesn’t enforce it. I fabbed the prototypes and programmed the inferface (ours change colors and can pules/fade/color switch pre-programmed or with a logic programmed into the control chip adapting…

Any info on 1) total length and 2) bed load height? Those are my two biggest concerns, as I live in a city with tiny parking spaces and I’m getting too old to lift concrete into and out of a 32" high bed, even leaving alone my bikes. The Taco discontinued the low version, and by the time I found out they had already…

For reference, I have 2 XR650Rs (BRP FTW) in supermoto trim, and the Tundra with the 67" bed. Dirt wheels will make them a bit longer, but I’ve also had plenty of dirt bikes in the 200-450 range in it. I can fit a BRP in it with the gate up easily if it is diaganol, so probably be fine with dirt wheels on a 64".…

This here is the problem. That gaping pit means it is going to have a tall load height. Yeah suspension and crap underneath means it has to be at least a certain height, but that tire could have probably gone somewhere else (hell, put it on the hood, IDGAF) and the bed dropped at least that much. Even better, make it…

It seems to correlate with price, but not always. I actually found the chirp chirp in the BMW I used to have more annoying than a horn, though not as loud. It used to be that if you hit the button once on most cars, it would lock and the lights would flash. Hit it twice (or more) and it would beep. They seem to have…

I’m normally not one for more regulations, but they need to put limits on how loud the honk is for remote door locking. The first thing I do with a new car is figure out how to turn off all the various noise makers, but most people feel some sort of need to click the button 5 times every time they park. Especially…

Anyone have suggestions on rain suit or adventure suit for a fatty? Aerostitch I think is the one that does semi-custom fitting but it is just too ugly to wear (this coming from a guy who just bought the Kriega fanny pack) though I haven’t seen the black one.

My brother recently picked up a black 48, and his description of riding it makes it sound even worse than yours. He ordered full suspension kit as soon as he got it home from the dealer. It looks cool with an aftermarket raised tank bracket/wire tuck and black exhaust, but I still don’t get it. On the other hand, I…

Welcome to the big show, posting directly to the main page (where I’m grey again, though I’ve b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶n̶o̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶known you for years...). And since you are here, you can bring back Question of the Day! I miss it so much already. There’s like, half a dozen puffalumps in it for you if you can make it…

Years ago, I attended the motorcycle show in SF. On impulse, I took down one of the 2 stroke exhausts and played it like a trumped. The friendly gentleman running the booth kindly asked me wtf I thought I was doing, to which I responded that since I upgraded to a CF reed, my exhuast went out of phase and that, since…

I wanted to star your post, but it isn’t giving me the option.

I took my nephews a while back, and we all had a good time despite knowing nothing about the sport. There were a lot of modified diesel trucks in the parking lot, and I convinced one of my nephews to stick his head in the tailpipe of one of them. He wore a soot crown the rest of the evening.

Good ol’ brake cleaner, one of the holy trinity of cleaning supplies. BC for durable parts, denatured alcohol for sensitive parts, Tri Flow for pretty parts. I learned about the TF recently from the guy who works on all our track bikes. (I live in a city where the sale of diesel is illegal)

Ok so after watching the full video, it is even more Meh than on first impression. Looks like they were being pretty good about it, unlike ****ing Critical Mass which is technically a terrorist activity. Ran some stops when it was safe, rode some stairs with no pedestrians on them, wheelied on an empty bridge. Tapped…

Meh. I’ve drag raced cops in their cop Chargers out on Bayshore back when I had a ‘merican muscle car (that was a fun scene back when the Chargers were new) and I play D&D with another cop; they’re people just like us. The fact that he’s a cop in itself doesn’t bother me, as hypocrisy is rampant in all professions and…

There have been a bunch of 2WD concepts and a few kits available. I’ve heard it is amazing in the dirt (on smaller bikes) but would it lead to push on the street? I can see it helping in a straight line, but I’d be worried it would compromise grip when already leaned over (rolling on, I’m not a total wanker) and force…

I have a question: Are modern environmental standards affecting color availability?

Chuck Norris’s Evo, bc under its splitter is another fist.

Skip to 2:00 in if you are impatient. Someday I will own one, or a really good clone.
