Hey Bim, guess what?

May is an absolute gem and I wish he could get more independent car-related specials. His ‘Cars of the People’ is everything ‘Clarkson’s Car Years’ tried to be and much, much more.

it’s just a street modified Formula 1 car

This is Honda not Tesla. Honda can do it!

You said it yourself.. this is a naked bike, not a sport tourer.  Which is why they didn’t give it a windshield.

Yeah, spend a little less on fluff and pay the competitors, and everyone is happier.

That’s not how that works. Yes, you bought a car, yes it has the hardware. Saying you “paid for it” is actually kind of complicated. They may not have actually charged you for it, and the revenue that comes from people opting is may be how BMW justifies the cost of installing it on all cars.

Given the difficulty of getting approved for credit cards, or the financial outlay required to get a secured credit card, versus just having a debit card attached to your existing bank account that requires no further validation or approval, I’d say the difference between them and you is your privilege.

Probably not enough brass, bronze, and leather parts for that bunch.

Did you contest these incorrect additions to your credit history? I understand the credit agencies mess up all the time, apparently I applied for and received a credit card from Macy’s when I was 7 years old. But I contested this and it was removed from my credit history.

Grab one of those mini jump box thingies. I keep one in my I95 survival kit in the back of the car. Not only does it pull duty for jumping cars but it charges the phone as well. Small enough to fit in a console or glove box to boot.

This fucking response can’t be real. 

Uh huh. Let’s check the competition.

Tell me you don’t ride bikes without telling me you don’t ride bikes

Signs and all, it seems like it would be pretty easy to install a barrier of some sort that prevents boats from getting pulled into the machinery. You could feasibly have your boat break down and get sucked into this thing.

I apparently lack the visceral disgust that everyone else has to the styling, but I’m having a hard time comprehending “share[s] the same steel framework as the Africa Twin” and “sporty” being used together.
