Is a financial event like this something that one can write off on their wealthy-person taxes as a charitable donation? Is it something that one could buy and title as their company car, owned by the corporation (even if corp only employs one person?) to reduce tax exposure? That could mean a 30%, 40% discount could…

Karma Chameleon by Boy George

Some truths are self evident.

I politely disagree. The public here is funneled into the State of California’s rider training program (recently improved with the expulsion of the MSF, which had created a horrible, 20-year monopoly in its niche).

I ran a motorcycle school that competed with MSF. Offered advanced riding courses. We got 3 calls in a year on the advanced courses.

An air raid siren, that is. He doesn’t own a moon buggy.

There is a person in Oakland that owns one. It stays in his shop most of the time. He told me that when they got it running the first time (it’s on a trailer now after getting it down off of one of the public school roofs), they backed it out the door of the shop and pointed it down the long, straight urban street…

You missed it. Not that LeBaron turbine,

Little-old-lady buddy has a classic car - a 1972 Imperial.

Sport-bikes, especially 600's, have insane premiums on full coverage due to the statistics that say those bikes are the most likely to get tossed and totaled. A set of new plastics can go for 50%-100% of the value of a several-year-old bike because they depreciate so rapidly.

Because people who put easter-basket wings on their cars are not doing it for the downforce, but for the same reason that (some) short men put tall tires on their trucks?

People on the West Coast or their elders edged as far away from Delaware as possible. We never drive through.

The angle to work here is the driveline and interior.

Fiat abandoning stand-alone stores is interesting. That has been a big thing in the Italian motorcycle dealership scene for the last decade. The MFG. insists that the dealership be stand alone, or at the very least have a sectioned off area decorated specifically to the brand and with no other brand in that area.

I agree. Where should a felon be employed? Driving a gravel truck, as long as he’s licensed, should not be a big deal. Beats having them working at an armored car company or day care center!

Is staying away from bigotry, antisemitism, and misogyny not a good jumping-off point for understanding a defining difference?

No, it was your government that misfunctioned near your home city and killed a lot of people.

I second that motion.

If you lived in the Bay Area you would not have much left after paying for housing and the rest.

Re-watch Mad Max - Fury Road and pay attention to the part where the miscreants spray paint each other silver and babble about “all shiny and chrome”.
