Do you have a friend with an Oxy-Acetylene torch? This really looks like a repair that could be done with brazing. It would be the same process that was used to build the frame. If you are willing to try it yourself, prep is everything. Clean the hell out of both parts, use lots of flux, and keep a spare seat lightly…

How many other delivery vans did you see left idling as they were loaded and unloaded?

There’s going to have to be a big push from Sony and Microsoft to enable indie game developers to access the consoles more easily. I look back at the biggest independent games on PC over the past few years, and I just have to wonder if that might reanimate some of the spark. I also find as I get older, that I don’t…

Indian FTR 1200 is a pretty close street legal version.

No, I don’t think you could, at least not in the US. FMVSS No. 122 and 123 talk about brake and control requirements, and they both mentions front brakes. I don’t know if that means they are mandatory, or just included in the test standard.

Gotta get that butt up close to the steering stem to let the rear wiggle on entry! That was one of the hardest things to get used to while running tight single track, loading that front tire to get turned around is super important.

I like the indoor event in MKE where they use soda syrup to make the concrete sticky enough to run on.

“That 24.5 horsepower and 23 lb-ft of torque is just barely sufficient for off-road adventure riding”

If this “starts” at $20,000 and realistically sells for about $28,000-$30,000. I might actually be getting a new car next year.

Awesome, My girlfriend just bought a 1995 Trek 720 and I was re-greasing the rear hub last night. Turns out, you need some special tools to really get into the rear cassette, but I can do that later.

Have you seen the 125 Hunter they have for the Japanese market? Integrated racks! It looks perfect for a in town runabout, that could even do 60 to get to the next city over.

I think they are pulling inspiration from Triumph. Triumph has a bunch of models based on two motors; the bonnie 1200 and 900. Major differences are handlebars, seats, and control placement. Combine that with some different suspension and motor tuning, and you might be surprised how different one chassis can start to…

LOL at “SSD Card”. The title should read “Kingston SSD”.

Sure, they could. I’ve got a trick that will help you with that too! Press the Alt key and the F4 key together! That will filter to articles more suited to your liking.

I was also thinking about that. The headers of the current top fuel cars add somewhere around 800-900 lbs of downforce, right from 0 mph. That’s pretty significant when the car only weighs 2,330 lbs. Now, this could be overcome with a gigantic wing, but then top speeds would probably get hurt. That makes me think of…

I’ve heard so many times that motorcycling is freedom. I disagree. Motorcycling is an awakening, realizing that anything the world throws at you, can be overcome. Rain, sleet, beating sun, can all be lessened with planning and a few basic pieces of clothing. Realizing that maybe, just maybe, this thing you threw…

Huh? They sit idle for hours at a time, then need to accelerate hard for at most 5 minutes. Sounds like a great use case for electric. If someone runs for more than a couple miles, they will have called in backup and gotten the heli to chase.

Therein lies the rub, you and I would love to have a MT but the people actually buying new cars off the lot don’t give a rip. Understandably, it’s hard to justify making cars that don’t sell.

Serious question, and I don’t mean it in a dickish way, did you buy your car new? By that, I mean not two year old model sitting in the dealer lot new, but current model year new?
