but it would be better if they were hitting the low end, too

Every bike I ever bought or rode in Ireland/UK were set up right/front, left rear

they only seem like potential head on collisions - the locals are used to smaller cars and narrower roads, and regularly thread needles that seem crazy to foreigners. Zipping around narrow winding country roads is a great way to wring maximum fun out of minimum horsepower

this should be the correct setup - letting the hand with the most power and modulation operate the brake that does 75% of the work. I hear all sorts of shite about letting the almighty right hand operate the front brake will end up flipping you over the bars, as though your right hand is capable of only 0% or 100%…

Probably thinking “I prefer Presidents who don’t get shot....”

John Wayne was a disgrace, made more so by how he’s lionized as some All-American Tough Guy (TM). He stayed home to nurture his career, while others like Audie Murphy and Jimmy Stewart fought overseas. Having Wayne in a movie as a guarantee that I won’t watch it (except The Longest Day - some things are worth putting…

Hard to gnaw on baby - regardless of how tender - that you don’t got no teeth

This won’t make any difference to Donnie or his mouth-breather followers, and more than mailing an embossed official copy of Obamas long form birth cert, signed in the blood of the Hawaii Secretary of State, to each of them would have convinced any of them that Barack Hussein Obama wasn’t a Kenyan-born Muslim…

My folks had two 127s - they were great - they never failed, despite my folks’ rather cavalier attitude toward preventive maintenance (like 1-2 year oil change intervals, whether the car needed it or not). In fact, all the rest of our Fiats (4 others - 6 total) were just as reliable. I’m on the fence about $7500 for a…

Ah Piggy - it’s always hardest on the kids...

Definitely a Brown Overall moment

I haven’t been able to post pics or links for ~6 months - quite frustrating

Have we hit peak “whataboutism”?

Someone explain this to me - the whole reason you have weight transfer to the front when you brake is because you’re decelerating. So, if I’m using the brakes, (albeit subtly) to maintain some degree of frontward wight shift as I go through the corner, doesn’t that mean I’m decelerating all through the corner? What’s…

Jesus man - you have a 10 year old F150. How much more “farm truck” can you get except a 20 year old F150? Save your money and get some good farm dirt on that Ford

As long as I don’t have to kiss the ring - I’m very choosy about whose rings I kiss

Not really - the autonomous car is merely the device to generate data. Any data actually generated comes purely from your actions and your decisions. If you choose not to go out, the car just sits there in your drive, not generating squat.

Fuck - that means that Martin could own the sounds that come out of my guitar. Granted, they truly are worthless, but it’s the principle, dammit!!
