perhaps a HD electric scooter that’s cooler than the limes and such...at least there’s scale and a service parts stream and a replacement cycle to drive manufacturing capacity. The HD people need SCALE that this thing will never have - their audience/target market of Millenials will never see enough of these to want…

true -but this ain’t it.

that’s the problem with the ‘building scale’ here - If I had one of these, I couldn’t do a saturday ride with my buddies - not that they’d make shit of me, which they would, but because I would have to tap out of the ride after, if not before, the lunch stop and sadly watch my buddies continue on the fun....if it’s 50…

it won’t.  totally separate markets...that’s what HD is missing here.

DOA - but it will be 2 years before they kill it. This is a lot of cool engineering that nobody will buy because nobody wants that. I could be wrong, but I’m not (as Mr. Henley would say).  In 30 years we’ll say that HD was ahead of its time, God rest its soul.

that’s why this is 5 grand, not 12 grand.  

No doubt, larger brakes drove most of the upsizing, and that’s a good thing. Back in the day, the majority of cars ran (or could run) 225 70 15's on 4 wheel drums. Then malaise era cheaped that down to 185 65 14's for almost everything, with front discs/rear drums as the basic standard. The change from drum brakes to…

at 3-4, this would be a cool toy for a teenager.  at 6, it’s just a non-starter for a dozen reasons.

Ford doesn’t really put a lot of effort into Mustang wheels for a reason...in fact, a LOT of people prefer the cheapo wheels on a new car, because they’re putting on Rimzzz in a week anyway. What IS cool though, is that the Mustang 114.3 5 lug with the large centerbore and modern 42 ish offset can fit a LOT of cars,…

Cragar, man....in mustang context, the reference is really to an American Racing Torq Thrust, which Cragar knocked off with their ubiquitous SS model that you see in that photo - and was put on every rusty Nova and Chevelle, Duster, Firebird, Mustang et.al by every pot dealer everywhere in the 70's and 80's along with…

dude....score a shitmobile.  3 doors for the wind.   Mid 70's New Yorker - just remember that you drive in 3rd and reverse is drive.  Clearing stick optional.

I guess we’ll see...but this stuff takes forever to manifest out.  I’ll probably be dead by the time it resolves.

I wouldn’t own this turd for free.  Utterly nothing redeeming about these trucks, even when new. 

ditto on your handle, dude.  

the one behind the muffler shop...but that’s worst case Ontario bud.

lol...not even a little bit. when the zombie apocalypse and the EMP pulse wipes out your cell phone network and the internet’s backbone and server farm, you’ll be glad we’re here!   It’s actually a pretty vibrant hobby - your weather spotters are all running HAM for example.  

ridiculously long commute and young kids with activities....not all that interesting of a story....it was a better compromise for me to eat the pain than for us  to move and everyone in the family eating the pain. 

people on driveaccord gave me shit for hammering on that unicorn....as if it were some sort of collectible....i guess it is a ‘grail’ car to some....to me it was a $23K ball of fun. Drove it like I stole it, and literally drove the tires off of it repeatedly. Enjoyed every moment of it too. Hell, I drilled holes in…

ate rear brakes like tacos, that’s for sure. the only way you knew it was ‘that car’ was the red badge!   If you were really paying attention, it was also the acura wheels, but otherwise that car was a q-ship. really a low drama car from a maintenance / repair perspective.  that timing belt bill was a whopper though.

that was around the time we all got too fat for Preludes :)
