I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten a contact high from eating delivered pizza in the past.

I can smell the singed cardboard already!

I sometimes wonder what an Indonesian riding her underbone 150 thinks about this sort of thing. Motorcycling as quasi-spiritualism seems to be primarily a Western phenomenon.

Should’ve been the lead photo.

Ride it daily, rock a helmet mohawk, and watch the world burn.

I think the ambiguity of my statement is warranted; for all I know, casual sexism could be the tragic flaw spoiling your otherwise-unblemished character.

I, too, use “fuck you” as an official statement of policy.

... You can’t let your estrogen run the show and start making blanket statements like that.

Eeyup. The Transit Connects (the small ones riding on the Focus chassis) also made regular practice of grenading the rear brake shoe adjuster mechanisms. They all had the exact same problems crop up at the exact same mileage, to the point wherein we could order the necessary parts for repairs ahead of time with no…

Being too expensive and unfit for purpose is perfectly in line with how Empires outfit their militaries. Seinar Fleet Systems probably added their bribery compliance fees budget as an open line item on the initial contract bid.

... Man, imagine this thing with a hopped-up electric drivetrain. I’d finance thirty grand for that.

I would assume the same computer that runs the fuel injection system, the on-board camera (likely meant to allow direct uploading to “social media” via said phone), and every other computerised aspect of the bike’s running counts and stores the odometer reading for display via the gauge app.

Worthy of note: the gauge clustre has been replaced with a universal mount for a smartphone. Why design, manufacture, and implement a TFT display for instrumentation when the rider likely carries one in their pocket already?

Likely closer to a hundred miles (~161 kilometers). The flip side to “range anxiety” is knowing *exactly* how far your riding style will get you within the bike’s operating window due to the powertrain’s high efficiency and predictability. If it’ll do 160 kilometers before going flat, then you know with no small…

Not feeling the Bern.

Man, this is heavy.

It’s not about “need”, man.

2016, last I heard.

My Chrome Cardiel Fortnight serves me well, and even survived a crash involving EMTs. Camlock adjusters make it a little easier to put on and adjust over an armoured jacket, Chrome’s aesthetic allows for a non-black bag that isn’t ridiculous, and the waterproof zippers are just that. The forty-litre capacity puts it…

Sounds like it won’t be getting the new double-balanced variant of the LC4 engine due for the 2016 Duke 690.
