He lived into his eighties and won Indy 4 times. I’d put his life in the “win” column. RIP, Big Al.

Assuming it’s not plugged in or is adequately surge protected, electronic devices are fine for a CMP/Solar Flare event.

What we wanted:

They don’t run the big bikes at Dakar anymore.  450cc max now.

My wife says no streetbikes, but is OK with dirtbikes (currently have 3).  Do you think I can convince her this is a dirtbike?  LOL  

Ugh, marketers

Eh, I live right by this, and while MPD are a fucking disaster of a police department, I can’t blame the police for chasing some of these idiots. There’s been close to 600 carjackings in Minneapolis alone this year; it’s fucking insane and it will continue to happen as long as police can’t chase them. Criminals know…

Funny how “well if you commit a crime you deserve to die” doesn’t apply to good old boys with DWIs, drunk county sherifs, or poachers in rural MN.

I could see one of these for sale in the dealership and still not believe they’re they’re actually making it. They've teased it for so long and in so many different forms that it will forever be vaporware to me even when I see them driving around on the open road. I think I was looking at concepts for this thing 20…

We need to do something about this cultural acceptance of a comply or die mentality.

The footage in the GIF on this picture was taken from the front yard of my friend’s house. There’s a slight downhill and a corner there that people seem to have a real problem with. He had 3 cars crash into his front yard (And ended up on the front steps of his house (luckily they were concrete or it would have been…

Nice looking bike. The auxiliary fuel tank is cool too.

This is a good thing. I am sure there will be complaints about range but really anyone going anyplace in a VW camper never got anyplace quickly anyway. If you need to stop to recharge before you got to the campground no worries. This will not be a backcountry overlander and will not try to be. 

Hope all these mid weight adv bike sell well and flood the used market in a few years. 

Feed it to the bridge:

The whole time I was reading this piece, I was wondering who in their right mind would buy state fair donuts from an intensely shady looking ancient Accord, then I saw the car is listed for sale in Wisconsin. So that checks out.

You’d be surprised; I found some tiny houses on Amazon for pretty cheap. There was a wood cabin for something $13k that was actually made from real wood, not recycled shipping containers. It actually had all the amenities and square-footage I needed (two bedrooms!), and fit on the plot of land I inherited but had to…

This thing is over an entire story tall, assuming basic fourteen foot story height.

This looks like it drives just wonderfully.

I want the earlier conversation at HQ.
