I really wonder about the roof hight. It seems my brother’s Outback is as tall as the Forester. I understand you get some ground clearance, but I want a car based wagon, not a psuedoSUV.

Honestly, with a full face helmet and a decent jacket, even a cold fall rain isn’t bad to ride through. Just like any other outside endeavour, wearing layers and appropriate outer layers are important.

Nope, all the consoles so far have had Spinning Disks in them from the assembly line. Sometimes even 5400 RPM laptop drives that are really slow.

Statistically, you are probably related to some of those Mongolians.

Can you put an SSD in a XB1X?

96 Hz or higher and as much resolution as you can afford is the best way to go for displays, for sure.

“The bells-and-whistles Gold Wing Tour starts at $26,700 for the manual transmission version, and $1,000 for the Dual Clutch version.”

I bet they were JIS head screws and not Phillips!

They could absolutely take him into custody for this. Criminal damage of property is a misdemeanor, and if the value is enough, a felony.

There are only about 250 street view cars on the road. There are more drivers than that in my office alone. There is no way that few cars can make as significant dent as getting a couple thousand drivers to help out. Remember that Google and Apple both use your GPS tracks to improve their mapping already, just without…

That was the one thing I couldn’t get over in the previous generation, the poor acceleration. I test drove one w/ my brother and friend in tow, and the 5 speed just made it feel like a dog. I know it’s plenty, but I just couldn’t stand it.

What exactly does it take to make it NHRA Section 4 compliant, and how much does that cost?

Without heat problems, it’s where the most volume is flowing with the most velocity. Usually just past the collector in a header style system.

Technically true, but it is much easier to have airflow through a radiator, and then out of the engine bay, than it is to get it through a radiator, past manifolds, and then out of the engine bay. Another aspect is that your manifolds radiate a lot of heat as IR and that causes very local hot spots, whereas a radiator…

How about idling for 3 minutes at a light, accelerating for ~45 seconds, and then idling again for 3 minutes? Congestion on freeways also makes the idle to acceleration ratio skew towards idle.

Depreciation is a thing of beauty, too bad so many owners keep their cars until they die. German over-engineering of British design doesn’t hold up well when things start to wear out.

It’s interesting that you know his fuel economy, but not his speed for this story.

Yamaha TW200 and XT250, Suzuki Van-Van 200 and DR200s, Honda CRF250L. This segment of bikes is doing ok, and seems to be growing as more people realize how fun, and practical, they can be!

It’s definitely a step over the line, but I think the fact that the cover wasn’t returned to covering really makes it egregious to me.
