By my count, the entire Jalop staff has 19 vehicles, not including vehicles owned by spouses. Wait a minute... Checks inventory...

Amber? One motorcycle can’t do it all. In fact, one motorcycle of the same type can’t do it all (sportbike, tourer, cruiser, etc.). This is my garage (not including a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Limited) in 2023:

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find it, maybe you can hire that van.

Friend, that is a bomb

Next time I see the giant speed bump with a massive scrape on it, a trail of oil leading to the side of the road, and a definitely not lowered car at the end of the trail I’ll get a picture.  I’ve seen it twice now, and I haven’t even lived in this neighborhood for a year.

Instructions unclear.

Wow, that’s stunning.

I’ve had some people ask me about my fears of the ride height compromising its ability to be a daily, and like, I frequently drive a lowered Porsche 911 with a carbon lip, I think it’ll be okay. 

There is a segment of automotive enthusiasts that will utterly shit on anyone for lowering their vehicle even a tiny bit, but there is nothing wrong with a mild, reasonable drop, IMHO. I’ve owned my BRZ for over a decade now. It’s been lowered for 8 years. Even with a front lip, the lowered ride height here in Chicago…

Mine’s 25 years old and still killing it.  Rode it yesterday (and December in Chicago means that’s rare).  

I already daily drive a 30 year old motorcycle to work, so I'm almost a third of the way there!

And more often than not, it’s the Chinese. Their fishing fleets invade other countries’ home waters because they’ve overfished their own territorial waters, and more often than not, they’re accompanied by their naval militia in “civilian” vessels with hardened hulls or their armed coast guard cutters that harass and…

My dad once told me “its better to stay warm than have to get warm”. 

I’ve been riding every winter since I got my license in 2018. I still do things the old-school way. I bundle up in LOTS of layers and hit the tarmac looking like I ate an entire cow or something. But, I do stay pretty toasty. I’m looking forward to seeing how your approach works!

Illegal overfishing is what drove fisherman to piracy in the first place.

Something tells me that “King Vanga” will disappear from Stanford’s student registry and be replaced by someone known as “Richard Johnson” or something similar.

Popehat is an amazing attorney, good on him for helping the family.

I’ve been snow bicycling for decades. Studded tires are essential or your BMW is going to be taking an ice nap. I don’t run studs offroad unless the ice has set in. Your best bet would be another set of wheels set up with studded tires. But you’re not all-in on that BMW it appears. There are lots of Russian YouTube…

This chud looks like Chet at the end of weird science.

I just parked my bike for the winter, so I’m happy to hear you’re still riding!
