What?! I’ve gotten VFRs, CBR600s, KZs, all my dirtbikes ... none of my bikes cost more than 2 grand.

Humanity fuck yeah.

This. I used to have some Icon Pursuit gloves. Short perforated ones. Pretty good for hot weather. Held up well.

I expect we’ll see some cosmonauts rocking them shortly.

Haha I’m pretty sure that by year two or three half our Formula team wished they’d done Baja instead.

This. Got to build and drive a couple CBR600RR-powered Formula SAE cars in college. Brutally fucking fast machines around short tracks.

Shit, I’d live IN it. You’d have to pry me off that seat. Like a goddamn toddler who got a Power Wheels for Christmas.

Gotta go fast?

Early? I bet Torch has been up for days working on this. Walls covered in photos and articles, string pinning them all together, floor littered with empty cans of pinto beans and Mickeys 40s.

Now that’s just an insult.

I can understand the sentiment, but nothing of value was lost.

Yeah, but most guys have to get their start in Germany. Competition is cutthroat. And they’re real sticklers on rules. Can be hard to breakout.

This. We ain’t on Jezebel.

Sorry, what? I was looking at boobies. And I got this strange urge to buy a trike. Huh. Weird.

Nah, nah you’re still wrong. There’s no direct connection between badassness and popularity. Confederate Hellcat, De Tomaso Pantera, World of Outlaws Sprint Cars ... all badass and not widely popular.

And I see you didn’t use your corner time effectively. Let me dumb it down for you. Then you can try again. ‘Badass’ revolves around concepts, ideas, images. You could call it a “social construct”.

Nope, you’re still full of shit. “Social construct” =/= popularity. We come up with images, ideas of what ‘badass’ is. Are all Harley’s badass, like you claim? Fuck no. Those shitty ‘70s MX’ers they built? An 800lb Road King with 75whp? Nothing badass about them.

I was hopeful they’d do something sportier too. But I’m not surprised either. They’re sticking close to their bread and butter.

So since its not broadly known it can’t badass?
