Do they have clear Ford, Boeing, Crown Victoria, 747 logos on them?

Drag racing in Jeans is an extremely bad idea. Zero abrasion resistance for when you go sliding down the track. Its his skin so that is on him. Spectators on the side of the track. They are hoping nothing goes wrong and something will, good thing there were no Mustangs at that track, they would have had a feast.

First off that Live Wire is slow for a modern performance bike. That Tesla is damm quick vs a modern ICE car.

The Livewire is not very fast for a motorcycle.

For a Harley it is a spaceship, but yeah, it is way slower than most litre bikes. Even an old 600 is faster than the Livewire down the quarter mile....a setting they are absolutely not intended for.

Not to mention in January, the Chinese were busy lying to the world.

Just a reminder that fast is relative, but that Harley is fucking slow. I'm all for electric power trains, but let's not put HD on some kind of pedestal here. 

Heh, guess what I am wrong.

A little bit of A, a little bit of B, and anecdotal evidence being what it is. There is enough of a problem with it being asymptomatic or mild enough for some people that they may not have put it together. I haven’t had it, nobody I know has had it, to my knowledge, but unless it really hits you badly or you’re a…

How many less cases would there be if the WHO had declared it a pandemic and encouraged social distancing earlier instead of sitting on their butts and putting out release after release about “how it wasn’t bad enough to declare a pandemic yet?”

Exactly. There were trade shows going on deep into February. In fact, the largest security conference in the world happened at the end of Feb and barely any exhibitors had even pulled back by then. I went, and while there were hundreds of Purell stations around the expo area, people were still shaking hands.…

I’m not so sure about that. Consider that the Toronto Auto Show was in February and we still didn’t see any significant cases until March.

Now if only we can get some others to listen to the experts 

It would have also have been worse if the Detroit Auto Show took place in Wuhan, but it didn’t so here we are.

I would like to add some Insight and Clarity to this conversation. Erik clearly Jazzed about Honda.

Erik, if you can Fit it into your schedule, please stop Shilling for Honda preferably of your own Accord. Im trying to do my Civic duty to help during this odyssey of life. 

My eyes, my eyes. Tell Ronald his car is ready.

Also not a popular option:

There's also federally required braking and speed control systems on the modern engine that the Big Boy doesn't have. There's one sitting in stasis at the Forney Transportation Museum in Denver, in case you want to climb aboard one.

ha! i also started with NFS3. but after Porsche, i got Gran Turismo. I loooovee HP2, but I missed the boat on the underground stuff because I was busy with GT3-4.

 It's for dynamic braking, which is required for all trains running on a "main line".
