I’m here for the whiny contrarian bit. I’m sorry the design is overwrought and busy without being fun. sort of like all of the silly expensive watches that feels the need to justify their expense by showing of the mechanics at the expense of function

Im not a fan to be honest. To me it looks like someone crashed a bike and tried to do a Cafe racer for as cheap as possible. I can almost smell the rattle canned paint and glitching Temu instrument cluster.

Disagree. The more touringesque R1200CLC was more geared towards the bigger Harleys. the R1200C with its lighter weight and “sportier” feel was more geared towards the smaller Sportster.

similar rake small fenders and wraparound read fender. similar buckhorn bars and similar headlight with cowl

Absolutely though to be honest I’ve never ridden a Valkyrie or a royal star so ill hold of on saying they are better but i am open to bellieve that they are by most objective measures better than the FL

I dont think i can agree here. chrome heads has never as far as i know been a thing on Beemers before the R1200C and that front rake is alot more sportster than like R71 or R60. Same with the buckhorn bars and small fenders

Okay i think i misspoke. With copy i mean more in spirit than an actual carbon copy. but the front fender rake and headlight cowl together with the short stubby exhaust and rear fender makes it look quite alot like a Sportster. 

Controversial point here but BMW in the late 1990's early 2000's made a surprisingly good copy of the harley sportster. It handled and stopped alot better and to my book looked better. Now ofcourse this didnt matter as the harley boys wanted a harley and the people who wanted the look but didnt care about the brand…

ooh look its the annoying 6yo kid who has to show everyone in the park his spiderman outfit.

i am willing to bet you are wrong. I think the overlap of crossfit muppets and cybertruck asshats are quite large. And as the whole bullshit excerzise of beating a tire with a sledgehammer* is quite popular with the crossfit crowd the odds of people in that group that is also strange enough to get its own sledge feels…

Not me but my FILs BMW E46 320 decided to start flooding itself to the point the whole enginebay stank of fuel. It was bad enough that when we towed the car until it started (on recomendation from a old BMW tech) it actually poured petrol out of the exhaust and it ran like it had been filled with crude oil. after a…

just take your star goddamn it

my whole thought was that you guys pay like 1 dollar a liter where as here in sweden i pay 2 dollars a liter. I think it was 10 years ago the last time gas was that cheap

After reading this list i had to look to se if it was written by Bradley aka the king of being wrong.

Either you are dense or you on purpose missunderstand me. I am not saying its reasonable to shoot cops. I am saying that if a criminal is approached by armed people NOT wearing a police uniform it is reasonable for that criminal to suspect it is a rival gang out to hurt him and to open fire.

i mean they look more like jan 6 rioters than cops. usually Swat is dressed in tactical gear not beige khakis

you know who else might wear bulletproof west and yell while aiming guns at you? other criminals trying to assasinate you. And if that is the case the only slim chance you have to survive is to shoot back. So if the cops wanted to “stop and look” under the pretext of a unused seatbelt then maybe they should have used…

So a question here. IF this dude was a career criminal and plain clothes people decend on him with weapons drawn what would be the two most logical scenarios he would think he was in.

Also ad into it that if this guy was a career criminal another reasonable deduction was that they where a rival gang there to kill him. Basically the cops designed a scenario where a reasonable reaction was for them to be fired on.
