85000 miles on a bike in Portland and it’s never seen rain? What else is this guy lying about?

Nice reporting . . .
I know about those, but the Indian in the second pic is a Chieftain from the Polaris lineup. The Polaris Indians have an entirely different engine from what S&S is making.
What’s with the Indian? Is S&S starting to do their magic on Polaris mills too?
It totally works, though! Because the junkyard guys pulled a fast one on Oddjob! If you watch closely, you’ll notice they swapped out his 64 Lincoln for a 63.
Do those doors make the sound the Delorean doors made in Back to the Future? Or are they more like the disappointingly quiet Delorean doors in real life?
I’m the friend with the Lincoln. I should have known the universe was telling me this was a bad idea when my plane from Madison to Detroit broke down at the gate. I had a duffel bag full of tools, but Delta didn’t seem to want my help . . .
The story behind the heater starts with a little vacuum valve that controls how…
Just confirmed on Street View - no stop sign for the 4Runner
Danish or Dutch?
Paul Newman. I don’t know much about his car collection and Google is coming up short. But he did have this:
61 Plymouth Fury. The name matches the angry eyes.
How about this? 99 XJR with 42,000 on the clock. $10,750, which gives you a bit of headroom for the inevitable repairs. Only caveat to owning a Jag this nice is that you have to pronounce it “Jag-U-Ahr”
The biggest problem with the Volt, imho, is it looks like a dork-mobile. The people who buy dork-mobiles usually stick to Toyota, with some of the more daring ones scampering over to Honda. It’s that high rear end pseudo-hatch thing that the Volt, Prius, and Insight have that makes it look like a kicked dog. I’m sure…
Agreed. My father-in-law’s G37 sounds quite nice compared to a lot of V6’s I’ve driven.
Done.
I think he was talking about the rider sticking his foot out in the air at 15 second mark in the video, not while avoiding the BMW. I agree with you that putting his foot down then was a rookie move.
Could've just been stretching out his leg between shifts. I do that quite a bit on long rides.
Now playing
Reminds me of a line from that wonderful Dennis Leary song:
I always thought the Flex would have been a better fit as a Lincoln than a Ford. Especially if they made the 3-box design like you mention. Make the rear doors suicide and you have yourself a new Continental.
