Its sort of prononsed like Hooskvarna Svart (like smart) pilen (like pilsen)

Actually if you are going for a joke on fahrvergnügen that is German while Husqvarna are Swedish

Im sorry but i disagree with that sentiment. Guys like Tomas Haake of Meshuggah, Jens Ryden of Thyrfing, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Tom Araya of Slayer, Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, Rob Zombie, David Draiman of disturbed all seem like basically nice if maybe not totaly well adjusted guys. Yet all played in bands…

hey the latch on my seat stuck in the unlocked position yesterday (Im suspecting the grease turned sticky and stiff in the 0 degree F weather) and driving in snow with the seat sliding willy nilly was to say the least interesting

And if you use the physical key the car alarm triggers so you have to drive a car blaring to high heavens to the shop...

I am part of this group if a car im looking at has keyless or some bullshit like it i move on. Ive had work vehicles with keyless and that has put me of it forever. at best i dont notice the keyless but when it fucks up its the most anoing issues imaginable (I once got locked out of a rental Audi in -40C (-40F)…

I now feel a general hatered for you. Its nothing personal but i HATE keyless/smartkeys and all that malarkey. I am dreading the day that all used cars will have keyless and all that bullshit. Its annoing enough on my current cars when the locks freezes or some actuator gives up the ghost if i have a smartkey that…

given you are wearing a gettup like this (but color matched ofcourse)

Why cant i have that Scooter. I’ve never seen a vehicle that sparks so much joy in my heart.

I feel your pain like 2 months ago some uppstanding citizen brought it opun him/herself to smash my passanger side window to steal my bargain bin phonecharger and in the process broke the power window and the window trim. 2 weeks later at the same lot someone broke open the fuel filler on both of my cars to steal gas.…

On the weather protection front im on the other way around. For a commuter weather protection isnt important as most of my commutes i am traveling slow enough that the weight saving of not having a fairing more than makes up for the short time i spend going any mentionable speed. Out of all the bikes ive owned the…

ouch cant be fun riding a sportstourer on snow/ice.

Yeah my thoughts to. The way alot of “niche” sports have moved to saudi has made me stopp following some sports. This is the first year i didnt follow dakar and the first year at all and i cant se me watching it anytime soon unless that changes

Fair enough the orange bikes have better power. But in my experience as long as you arent a supremely good rider riding really gnarly offroad anything over 30hp on a enduro type machine wont make you appreciably faster. I keep coming back to when much younger and fitter me on my 2001 2-stroke Husqvarna 125 with…

Not speaking to the 450 specificaly but as someone pining over a CRF250/300RL (Wifey would rightfully kill me if I got another bike). The reliability of the orange bikes isnt exactly well regarded. I can manage changing oil/checking valves often aslong as i dont need to worry about being stranded with a broken engine

Dissagree. The Honda Africa twin, Yamaha T7 and KTM 790/890 ADV all do both on and offroad better.

The dry clutch i think is a matter of taste. I love the sound of a duc twin with a dry clutch rattling away.

Ettore Bugatti if im not mistaken is French/Italian. Ettore Bugatti was born in Italy to half french half italian parents (dont know which half was wich) and then started the company somewhere in then German Alcase which after one of the world wars was taken over by the French. So i think you can argue that Bugatti…
