People in general, including older established riders, are not riding anymore because of the head in the clouds, fingers on the phone cagers who make riding a terrifying, near-death experience.

Came here to say just this. “...pull the dick off a chocolate mouse...” is some vivid, creative wordplay. Bravo!

Younger adults (aka Millennials) aren’t buying them, so the company’s total market is shrinking. That’s all the article says.

I cannot in good conscience claim paternity, it’s actually quite common parlance in the motorcycling community in the UK and Australia as a more colourful alternative to “couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding.”

One of the reasons young people don’t ride motorcycles — other than exorbitant pricing — is that most of the people you see riding motorcycles are men older than me, whiter than me, and fatter than me (and those last two take some serious effort). Not a look anybody aspires to achieve.

Yeah, let’s blame it on those pesky millenials! Let’s not blame it on a range of motorcycles where the lightest weighs as much as the Death Star, the cheapest is still fucking expensive, the most powerful couldn’t pull the dick off a chocolate mouse, the most sporty has the dynamic prowess of a bag of shot badgers and…

Looks great?

Maybe make a longer lease term than 24 months, because 24 is rather wasteful.

Late 20's here.

Honestly, I feel like that particular leasing model makes sense for how a lot of people interact with cars. Maybe make a longer lease term than 24 months, because 24 is rather wasteful. But, knowing that transportation expenses (other than fuel of course) are going to be a fixed cost per month can be a huge stress…

It’s a nice looking car that’s priced well....and I hate crossovers. I am also having a crisis.

Millennial here. Also not too fond of millennials.

2nd Gear: I don’t like the way BMW appears to be approaching this prospect of keyless cars. The idea can work, but doing it through smartphones is not the way to go. What if your battery dies? What if you lose your phone, or it gets stolen or broken? What if you find yourself in one of those places where you don’t…

Bangle is a shockingly underrated designer with surprisingly few misses to his name, and to be honest, he’s right. With only a few exceptions, car design has gotten super stale and boring. Not everything he did was good, but it was all original.

Tesla gave us the latest example of this worrisome trend over the weekend, when it turned off the Automatic Emergency Braking feature on all new Tesla vehicles built since production on the Model 3.

The “s” is dumb, but the i3 is a legitimately cool car. Its manufacturing alone is cutting-edge, and its got great space utilization. You can also buy is with a flat-twin range extender! I’m very surprised this isn’t a Jalop-approved car.
