NO< AB does not leave these operations alone, at least not in the long run, and absolutely not in GI’s case.

AB has taken the IPA recipe (as well as the pale, I believe) and farmed it out to several of their larger brewing facilities, while turning around and focusing on expanding the barrel-aged ‘division’of GI at…

As a beer tourist, writer and nerd, I can tell you there was a lot more ‘information’ to be turned up that would have answered some of the questions the author had. I know because I lived in Iowa at the time of this GI sale and had spent a good deal of time in Chicago and at that brewery before the sale. There were…

In short, the brewers intentionally fuck the beer up, when last year they would’ve followed best practices and ended up with a hoppy, TRADITIONALLY CLEAR IPA.

I can’t imagine this would have gone over so well in a state where gun laws allow for open/unlicensed carry...because most of those assholes would consider thrown water an actual threat to their lives - right after hearing an opinion that didn’t mesh with whatever was popular among the #trumpetts that day.

And umm...if…

Before you all start pouring out those 40's of Old Fourtrain, let me assume my natural position, face-up in the gutter.

OK, proceed.

Even if you’ve got insurance a car theft can literally bring your world to a screeching halt. No work means no money means no rent means no healthcare means....etc.

I’d send each and every one of these thieves straight to hell for jacking something someone else worked hard to get. Especially for a $25,000 THING OF MINE

So when I was a teenager living ~10 miles outside of ‘town’ in Iowa, there was no hesitation to take my DL for speeding, and then heap on the fines when I got pulled over for a suspended DL, and back then you had to go get booked (now it’s just a ticket) and they towed your car.

In some states they just boot your car in the driveway until you’re done serving your time, at least for some DUI offenders. They still have to pay some sort of monthly rental fee for the boot if I remember correctly. I had a friend who resorted to getting around Albuquerque by scooter because of her DUI problems, all…

At least you didn’t go for the fake-badged Bently 300, or whatever it was I rode in once. It was absolutely a Dodge product, but they went and stuffed a decent interior in it.

Still ugly as sin on the outside.

Has anybody seen an Avenger lately? And I’m not talking about the movie types.

Wait a second.

This isn’t an article about the 15-minute lube places. Comment is waaaay off-topic. Save this for a shakedown article about Jiffy Lube.

Don’t forget the concern about wet-clutch wear and concern for synthetic oils not doing the same work as Dino.

It’s an ages-long debate, but it seems the experienced folks out there stick with Dino whenever they’ve got a wet clutch system.

Those freaks blasting by you on a Ducati, however...I think they use Angels…

I’ve replaced at least a half-dozen turbos on various VW cars (usually the Passat) where the owner swore they kept to the maintainence windows.

What nobody tells these people is that the turbo shares the engine’s oil, and that thing runs incredibly hot, so your crappy engine oil and all the contaminants it carries ends…

It’s worth noting none of the above article should be applied to motorcycles or even smaller engines, as they often have different lubrication needs.

For instance, my 83' KZ1100 uses a wet clutch system (the entire gearbox/clutch assembly shares the same oil as the engine itself) and the difference between synthetic…

A respectable dealer would just call you up and have you return the vehicle. This happened to me a number of years ago, I purchased a Ford escape from a Honda dealer and got a call about 3 weeks later telling me that the financing had fallen through for some reason.
They didn’t charge me a dime for the mileage, and…

Don’t just ignore these assholes - if they’re calling you up, that means they’ve called other customers up with this scam, and it’s more than likely that it’s worked for them if they keep doing it.
Yelp reviews, local BBB chapters, or your state attorney general are all appropriate methods of alerting others that this…

FAGS (this is an acceptable use of the phrase, as envisioned by the great people behind South Park, as seen below): http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/archive/index.php?t-208175.html

Harleys have always been fat, heavy and slow...not sure how you could manage to redesign them, keep their ‘mystique’ and somehow eliminate all the things that current owners enjoy.

DUDE... every single word after ‘Buell Blast’ is totally lost because you suggested the one giant piece of shit Buell made in it’s short life.

Buell Blasts are what many H-D dealerships used to use for their motorcycle saftey courses because they’re small, light, and extremely underpowered. They are literally kids’…

Yeah because they’re competing against $500 chinese bikes that don’t require expensive maintainence and tires and oil, etc. They’re competing against bikes than can be repaired, quite literally, with bailing wire and electrical tape.

Big fat American bikes in crowded asian cities? Yeah what a draw.
