All this stupid tribal crap about bikers versus cagers versus pedestrians that some authors on Jalopnik try to peddle ignore the basic fundamental issue: safety.

Well, I am honestly impressed with his candor and admission that there’s no one to blame but himself. Here’s to good healing.

Please elaborate on a “full sized American”.

If there’s an innocent person who owns a yacht seized by this practice, they can demonstrate that they are innocent and gt their yacht back. Anyone who can afford a yacht like this has a veritable supertanker full of lawyers on retainer; it’ll be dealt with and they will be temporarily deprived of the use of a toy.

I do typically like trucks, but I have to admit the 6x6 craze is lost on me.

Don’t accept this! I totally want RWD sedans to exist so I just shrug and look for another product from Mazda. I get that it’s easy for me to just  say these things as I got a car in 2019 before things went batty. I just really dislike the crossoverpocalypse.

This happened to us a couple years ago when we were looking for an SUV for my wife. Her finalists were the Sorrento and the Highlander. Sorrento was a bit better deal and she liked the interior look more, so we scheduled a time to go in, checkbook in hand, to complete the transaction. Instead of the price we’d been…

They have patent drawings showing an i6 and a rear wheel drive platform that isn’t the Miata.

There’s no reason whatsoever that Mazda should release a RWD/I6 sedan in this market, at least not from a business-sense standpoint. That arrangement will likely see the light of day in the upcoming CX-90 (the CX-9's replacement).

They’re too used to selling cheap cars to people who can’t get approved on a Toyota. They don’t know how to deal with people that are actually wealthy and able to buy what they really want, and they end up driving away a large portion of that segment with shitty tactics.

Get training, wear gear, ride within your abilities, and you are far less likely to become a stain on the highway.

I was always under the impression that you simply couldn’t open those passenger / emergency exist doors while the plane was in flight. Maybe the plastic cover of the door moved a couple inches, but I doubt the door itself did.

My guess is that it will slaughter the CB300R as a daily but be unable to hold a candle to the Tuono as a weekender

It needs to be at least a 2-4 year associates or bachelor degree program with dedicated credits and ROTC type training. If we’re going to treat police officers as a multi-tool for any domestic problem under the sun, we need to train them as such.

Yeah, CSC’s parts support for these bikes is really good and was a major selling point for me, since I’m a DIYer anyway. The service manual they did for the TT is top notch, too.

I don’t know how the 1% date. Unless you were with somebody before you became wealthy, you can never trust them completely that they’re not in it for the money. When my wife and I met, I was driving a 95 Chevy S10 with a grey hood and fenders, a blue body and a red tailgate. I am 100% certain that she didn’t stay…

Damn being straight sounds like a nightmare lol

The worst car to take is your best car.

Haven’t ridden the SG250, but it sure does look cool. ;) I’m not surprised the top speed is a little higher — among other things, the aerodynamics are better and it has tires with lower rolling resistance. Did you do anything with the carburetor on your SG? I’m not convinced the one on my TT is set up right, or…

I assume you’re referring to the CSC TT250. I have one and I love it, but calling it a highway-capable bike is a stretch. Highway *legal*, yes, and for short stints it’s OK. It will get up to 65 mph indicated (about 60 mph actual) but that’s about the limit. The reality is it’s a tall, aerodynamically draggy bike,…
