Don’t use that bike as your first starter bike. You will drop it at some point. Why add the anguish of damaging your grand father’s legacy to the crappy feeling you’ll have when you get your first ding. Repeat after me “it’s not a matter of if you’ll drop it, but when”.

If they can’t catch you, they can’t run over you.

Not bad for a guy that’s 74 years old.

My riding buddy has taken his SV from S. Florida to Point Barrows, twice.

An armed society IS a polite society.

So far, 8000+ miles ( a new record). Best part was I got to upgrade from a 2013 2.0T to a 2015 3.8.

Two were totalled, a tree jumped out in front of the first one and I was rear ended by an F150 pickup truck in the second one.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8, RWD. On my third one, can’t say enough good things about it. Does oversteer a bit in autocross but that’s half the charm.

Tiny hands?

I have a kit with interchangeable shafts, one for reaming, one for plugging. I chuck the reamer up in a cordless drill and ream away. I’ve used a regular drill bit when I couldn’t find the reamer. Dip the plug in a pint can of rubber cement, and it slides right in. I’ve used this on my cars, trucks, and motorcycle…

Not so fast there. My Yamaha RD350 race bike had a pressed together crank. We took it apart and replaced the bearings with roller bearings, lightened it up a bit and put it back together. Stock, it had 39 bhp (29 kW) @ 7,500 rpm. When we were finished with it, it had 60bhp @ 10,000 rpm. Not cheap to start with, and…

I know, you couldn’t resist.

I had a 2013 2.0T, a 2014 2.0T, and now a 2015 3.8. Love the car, it’s my DD. I’ve driven autocross with it, aside from the horrible under-steer, it’s a great car and I plan on driving it till it dies.

I think I saw the sun moving backwards across the sky at about 215.

I had a neighbor that always walked his dog in my yard at the same time and never picked up after him. Being a geek, that had played with home automation, I wired a remote control to my sprinkler solenoid. Whenever I saw that dbag come within range, bang, on go the sprinklers.

I once found a spare head gasket after I finished torquing the head back on my 383. Turned out it wasn’t “spare” after all.

SFlo news reports both drivers were arrested. Cager charged with aggravated assault and the biker charged with reckless driving. Biker bonded out, cager still in custody.

Local morning news here in S. Florida showed the first clip and stated that the state boys were investigating. They implied that both drivers may be facing charges.

I would say it’s not common. I have been riding with a group that was acting poorly with regards to high speeds, wheelies, and whatnot but have never seen them swarm a vehicle without cause. I was present one time when a driver attempted to force a rider off the road intentionally. It was one of the women who ride…

Ape hangers.
