I believe the 91 and 92 models had a tendency for the rear suspension to toe out upon lift throttle (i.e. leading to the infamous sw20 snap oversteer). It can be mostly alleviated with tire choice (rear tires are wider than front) and driver training.

Especially since this is possibly the cleanest AW11 I’ve ever seen.

Verily.

Ahh, I see your point. Sorry for missing the clarification post...one day, Kinja will get its act together....

I’m not sure if it’s fair to count consumables like tires/brake pads/clutches/fluids as a knock against reliability.

The cherry on top is the final sentence:

Kind of a shame that she didn’t go the two wheels route since WSBK and the GP circus (MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3) seem to lack a Japanese star since Tomizawa’s passing.

I can’t help but think of this when the topic of vampires and food comes up.

Just tell her that riding on the track is much safer than canyons or the street since there’s plenty of run-offs, no obstacles to crash into, and best of all: no soccer mom/dad making a left in front of you.

I remember him saying that he had to turn off all the traction control during that QP since it interfered with bike feel. Simply amazing.

Asians are just white people with +1 INT and -1 CHA.

To piggyback off this, if you run into stuck bolts, PB Blaster and cheater pipes (long lead pipes for extra leverage on your breaker bar) will be your best friends.

As for why the SP2022 probably wasn’t adopted....I think the days of the DA/SA pistol era are numbered. The current trend for service pistols is towards polymer framed striker pistols (S&W, H&K, Walther, and even Sig introduced their 320).

I don’t know....I’m a big fan of the guy, but sometimes there is a thing as being too loyal.

Dunno, but I once saw a woman in her late 40s to early 50s get into a yellow Lotus Elise...so who knows? Maybe she is a driving/rally enthusiast?

Another great article! Is it possible to discuss major head shapes and the best helmets for each shape? I know that webbikeworld seems to be the only site that regularly covers this aspect.

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this article!

Fushigi Yuugi? Holy smokes, that brings back some memories!

You. I like you.

I’m hoping that we’ll also see his reunion with Asmo.
