With what I know about conducting business in Vegas I’d be curious to know how this plays out. Connections and accommodations play a bigger part in determining who is allowed to compete in that market than competitive pricing. I bet that poor old 458 was taken from some under-water high roller and handed off to a…

You fail to recognize a third very popular way, fail at making a profit making cars and get bailed out by tax dollars. That works too.

It’s all about passion!

Don’t feel bad about that. We don’t really like you either.

I’ve had my Thunderbolt for 17 years. It’s a thrilling combination of stone age brutality and modern ergonomics.

When you get out into the open stretches of the intermountain west,my stomping grounds, the predominant motorcycle being used for long distance touring are the big Harleys. The Goldwing are a distant second and the remainder are novelties.

The StreetRod is a very capable road bike with much better ergos, mid pegs, close bars. It sold more poorly than the other VRods and consequently can be found at half the price of the slower more cumbersome HDs.

My brother rocks a Rocket, I love it, awesome bike. Winter past he had the ecm reprogrammed and now I can no longer outrun it on my StreetRod no matter how hard I wring its neck. And, yeah we don’t get to sit at the cool kids table either but you do know why they sit in the back, they arrived late;)

You may not understand the subtle difference between torque and horsepower.

I’m not certain...

In 4 decades of owning/riding 30+ different bikes (current…

My mother in law mailed off $10K in gift cards in exactly this scenario last month. She’s a retired business management professor.

Yeah! The camera man was a cool dude. I’d ride with him.

The remarkable irony in your opinion is in the historical fact that the paved highway system in the US was originally promoted by bicyclists in an era when automobiles where considered a dangerous and impractical novelty.

As an individual who does the kind of work you describe, yes, a military veteran does warrant a higher degree of respect. In my trade (millwright) you can count the ability to remain uninjured as a primary work skill whereas in warfare accepting the possibility of injury or death is a first principal in performing…

First, F.U.

I LOLed! ;)

I love this particular tack of the Faux News slurping Koch Industries acolytes. “Climate science is corrupted by the overwhelming wealth of”...college professors?...hippies from Greenpeace?...socialists?

Yeah, I suspect you are correct about casting these pearls of reasoning to these particular pigs when they are much more receptive to the shit dribbling out of some gilded baboon.

Fire is also” a coupled non-linear chaotic system”, so you won’t mind me bringing my Jerry can to your campfire, will you?
