RIP to the last of the best race cars ever.

Flat-plane crank: the sound, the revs, the fire.

1 bourbon, 1 scotch, and 2 beers

I think I have 10 in my Tacoma.

They are eliminating emissions by never actually producing the truck.

One’s for your soda, one’s for your road soda.

Matthew Broderick is perfect, the car is perfect, the dialog, the “oh yeah” music, the valet. I watched the first half again recently, mostly for this. Dad’s who don’t share their car love with their kids suck.

I don’t think you misunderstand at all... On the contrary, you get that 95 out of 100 GS bikes will only get dirty when their owner spills a cappuccino on ‘em while plugging in way-points to the next Starbucks. I also think you nailed it with the “I’m gonna ride it across the country, I don’t want to stop when the…

I completely agree. I think anyone who buys a sportbike and then doesn’t ride on the track a decent amount is also silly. But at least those tools are designed well for the job they’re supposed to do.

Okay, I might be able to answer this since I’m actually considering buying one of these right now... A lot of people actually don’t *really* want an adventure bike but they buy one anyway. I’m one of those people; to help you understand why let’s look at my list of requirements for a new bike:

Two words: zombie apocalypse.
