Dave goes to Germany! I can pitch in a few bucks for his airfare, though getting one of these guys back might be a bit more difficult than a cross-country drive...

That and Kinja is fucked up. Then again, when isn’t it.

🙄

I think it's doubtful considering current trends and that only 1 brand really sells trikes. On the other hand, I've seen gyro stabilized enclosed bikes, which would be the way forward.

Breaking the prototype is an easy way to get canned and blackballed in the industry. I would not expect to see this bike caned until after we've seen specs.

It has rather nice lines, similar to a Yamaha FZ-o9. The one thing that kind of irks me is that they cribbed the passenger pegs from an MV Agusta Brutale and that you can’t remove them entirely.

It’s rather reminiscent of an RC51, in the best way possible. Considering the output of most electric motors, this guy should be a rather fun ride. The placement of the batteries does look in line with the wheels, which should aid handling immensely, and the ergonomics just scream classic sport bike. And before all…

When the bushings started going on my XJ, I replaced them with urethane. When the motors mounts gave me trouble, I did the same. Why not do that at the factory if not for planned obsolescence? The plugs are every 20k-50k miles, not 150k. Coolant is every 60k, not 150k. Belts are at 60-100k, not 150k. Hell, you want to…

Far as I know, secondary air injection is a requirement in cars since the 90s, because it heats up the cat as you mentioned and further helps with general emissions and the cat’s lifespan. Unburnt fuel in the exhaust will kill a catalytic converter given enough time. Even motorcycles have these sorts of air systems…

Being a poser is rather different from being a neophyte. Get your facts straight before you start with that crap. Instead of starting with an insult, maybe try and share some knowledge first, like the recommendation that Bradley first setup his suspension properly. Instead of bitching at him, maybe mention that he's…

Not exactly necessary on a cruiser, but in the spirit of the bobber style.

Jalopnik needs more motorcycles. And if y’all ever need a test rider, let me know. Specializing in supermoto and sportbikes, with a minor in English, I can usually weave a story around clipped apexes and fucked up landings.

They shouldn’t. The only way back to a sustainable situation in this country is a liberal and progressive Dem in the White House.

I can’t even sign up after telling Dorsey to eat my ass. Thin skinned little biatch.

Well, that’s me proper fucked, as The Tilted Kilt offers nothing of the sort. Seems I’ll have to fly to Scotland for the pleasure, and to be frank, I’ve been looking forward to it since reading Trainspotting fifteen years ago. That and watching as much Tony Bourdain as I could get my hands on.

The only intolerant person here is yourself, because you can’t even entertain different ways of having fun. So fuck off back to whatever bridge you crawled out from under, and please excuse the tardiness of my reply. If you wonder why the apology, I’m not some uncouth fuckmuppet like you.

The fact the fact they tried to deep-fry everything make them aces in my book! Try deep-fried pizza someday, that shit will blow your mind . A question for you though, do you know what deep-fried haggis taste like?

Personally, I'd just piss all over both their graves.

It doesn’t say anything good about the human condition when the men in power are largely racist and misogynist fucks. They’re so afraid of losing power, that they’ll weaponize hate against anyone who can compete and threaten their power. The hilarious bit is that they should be afraid, they should be quaking in their…

Hard for it to be racism when you’re not saying that all white people are cheap. Countries have cultures, not races, and I can’t say I’ve ever met a cheap Scot. I have had the misfortune to work for some Hindu Indians, and they were cheap as fuck, and rather shitty bosses for that matter. Muslim Pakistanis tend to be…
