Seems like that’d be a lot of fun

There’s this, which was basically the first time I fired it up in the garage.

I had to dim the photo substantially so the light wouldn’t blow out the shot it’s so powerful, even in the daytime. What you see there is me having to photoshop it so that it wasn’t blinding.

I wish I could. He sourced parts from the UK and did a leather boot.

Spray from what I’ve experienced (I’ve done two bikes without the front fender) is basically nonexistent unless you’re in a downpour. What’s great about front tire design on motorcycles is they send water sideways really well. Wearing eye protection (or a full-face helmet) takes care of the rest.

KSUengineer had a great link, but I’ll add that you might want to avoid doing it the way Honda did if they integrate the engine and lighting harnesses and run them all through the headlight. It’s very confusingly done that way. I’d rather split them up and have most of the cable salad under the seat for easier…

I love that nearly all of the motorcycles I’ve ever owned fall under the “DEATHTRAPS” category.

Technically, the cat.

Precisely. That’s not something that you just miss out on during the pre-purchase lookover.

Because the very next year after they retired it the XJ got 510hp. That’s a huge bump.

I’d say RWD Volvos but it seems like those have been on-off fads rather than a “finally!” moment.

Holy crap the commercial before that video was literally the commercial in the video. Get it together, Youtube.

Well so much for these pants.

If only I’d been here in the first 30 seconds yesterday, my dog-food injection story could have been in the top 10.

I actually saw them in concert last year. Blew my mind when they played the theme song from “Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise” I had no idea that was them.

Jesus that guy actually asked the PO to go halfsies on cleaning up their dead cat? Who the hell does that after they buy a car?

Well truth be told you can only legally hold the loud pedal down for a max of about 3.5 seconds at a time anyway. And if we’re talking illegal, sanity kicks in after 10.

Nice try, John Hennessey

That multiple intercooler packaging is pretty amazing. I’d love to see how that thing does against ambient temps.
