When you start stabbing tires on a Durango, you’re no longer a peaceful protestor. You’re an assailant.

I’m totally in love with this new F-150. I’m also completely on board with retrofit gages in older cars. I can’t wait to slap this bad boy in my AP1 S2000.

It isn’t privilege when two years before my son’s birth I was in the same position as you, and made the same decision with the same results. Or are you admitting to being privileged too? Or do you just instead do the typical myopic discussion approach of sticking a label on everything?  For someone who tells other…

Kotaku is the National Enquirer of game journalism so I’d expect no less.

Different strokes, different folks.  My Son is 21 now, and my life is as good as it can get.  Couldn't imagine one without him now.

Valid point; I wasn’t thinking about Plan B. My experience was in 1996; a radically different experience.  Sorry for lashing out in such a shitty manner.

 No, I'm with you.  Good exchange.  My experience was in 1996; completely different time medically-speaking.  There's a lot of crazy, charged discussion everywhere lately.  Some good, some not.  Despite the rough experience I had, I'm still very pro-choice.

Good for you, I suppose? I doubt she’d pay admission to do it again for kicks, though. For the sake of you and society, I hope you keep it up!

I’m not blaming anyone for anything and I’m strictly Pro-Choice. After experiencing not one, but two abortions... I found it to be incredibly harrowing. People on both sides of the argument need to be more sensitive regarding the experience and the individual that’s actually sitting in that chair for the procedure.…

If you think my comment had anything to do with race, you should stay indoors with the tv turned off. Anyone who thinks abortion “isn’t bad” is either a man, or a woman who’s never experience it. It’s the actual experience that’s fucking horrible.

Abortion is fucking horrible, you pedantic fuck. Before you dare try defending it, go sit through one.. Wait, never mind.  You might be right seeing as your walking proof of an abortion that should have occurred.  You know... it isn't too late.

 I'd give it a try, but wouldn't get over-dependent of it.  The cruise control on my S1000RR makes me nervous enough but if anyone is going to get the tech right, it's BMW.  Between the ABS, DDC, DTC, and the various computers the damn bike is smarter than some of the aircraft I worked on and it's an absolute blast at…

I’m well aware of who he is and what he’s done, but my point still stands. I fixed helicopters for 2 decades but that doesn’t make me a pilot. He’s still a tremendous prick with a superiority complex.  Any perceived "good ol' boy" clubs has less to do with the club and more to do with his demeanor.

 I wouldn't touch one with a torque wrench.  I tried to restore a CUCV before enlisting in the Army myself.  Don't underestimate the abuse bored soldiers will subject this thing to.

“The car community has historically been a typical good ol’ boys club, not very welcoming of anyone not male white and middle class or better.”

 Nah, come on.  This is so salty - even by your standards - we can print it all out in color and do speed runs in two directions on it.

 Jesus Bradley, calm down.  If you get any more salty, I'm gonna buy two of them.

 My Ridgeline did all of these things and more in the past year alone.  I'd much rather use that than a minivan to get my S1000RR to VIR.

I know, I had one years ago. When I get another one, I’ll buy that one used also. The point I was making however is that Harley is still in the habit of overpricing underperforming motorcycles. As far as what they’re used for and the features they offer in base packages, the S1000XR and Road King are not as different…

GREAT point, but I’m more concerned about the cost of admission. I’d happily buy a Road King, maybe one for the wife also, if they were $4k cheaper and better aligned with the competitor’s bikes regarding cost/performance. As it stands we both ride S1000RR/XR because of how much “better” you get for less money.
