Congrats on it. My first question is what exactly are you planning to do with it?

Ah but you see, I’ve already had fun driving it. Checkmate, atheists.

You drive it connected straight to a gas pump

It’s a textbook OE play. Offer the MT, but not in all trims or with all engines (and normally only with the shittier of the choices). No one buys it. Then shrug shoulders and say - well that take rate is terrible, that was dumb, we won’t do that again.

that sounds gnarly, did you make it out alive? 

Sadly, CP.

Those CVCC carbs were problematic and expensive even when new. I can’t imagine they’re any easier to deal with now almost 40 years later, if there’s anyone left who remembers how to work on them.

This is a work of art and a thing of beauty, but for that kind of money you could buy a car.

Just go buy a new Camry already and be happy with another trouble-free 15 years.

3k is the going rate for a nice K100, a kind of ratty K75 is a $1500 bike all day long

If I get a choice between slamming into mouse fur and dying at 100 mph or soaring through the air like an eagle before slamming into concrete at 100 mph, you know what I’m down for.

Nice car. I’m a fan.

What kind of “experts” don’t suggest a Honda Accord Sport 2.0T which is a similar motor to the Type R.   Comes in a Manual Transmission and is a great family sedan and what I’d expect would be Honda reliability. 

Remember this kinda cool oddball bike from the 80's that nobody loved? Wanna buy a sad, worn-out one for about the same price as a pristine low-mile CBR600F4i that is 10x better in every possible way and will run forever?

Meanwhile, some boomer in a bar is recounting his war story of how he “Had to lay ‘er down” cause there was a daisy in the road on a sunny day or something like that....

The US is situated about 7500 miles from Iran. Iran has never directly attacked the US. The Shah was not a US “ally”, he was put in place by CIA facilitated coup that overthrew the elected government. He was a murderous ruler who tracked and killed people around the world as well as in his country. He was put in…

Fuck the GOP. Fuck every single one of them.

Why wouldn’t she?

Yeah but your mom does.
