Yikes! I can't imagine being stuck like that anymore. Public transportation out here on the left coast sucks so motorcycle it is for me. It's like parting the Red Sea on a bike.

Dude/Dudette! Get a motorcycle! I don’t have the “how was traffic” conversation anymore.

Dang you Doug! I was going to skip this article because I knew what happens to press cars. But then I read that “Jimmy Eat World” line and had to read all of it. Sweetness has been stuck in my head for about a month and a half now.

I did. I worked on diesels for a good amount of time and was worried about being around them (particulate matter, NoX, etc.) but vw had said that they didn’t need urea to pass and I was on board. We even passed up a deal on a plug in hybrid. And now this... Needless to say now I’m looking for cheap damaged tesla model…

I wonder if anyone has mentioned a paratransit van?

Agreed. Lorenzo looses something when he is not in front. I'm not quite sure why and I don't think he knows either

If it were a one time thing then I’d understand but It’s not the only time I’ve heard Rossi fans cheering when a close competitor has an off. And at those speeds a high side has a higher chance of resulting in injury. Besides everyone hates when Lorenzo just runs away with it. Why? Because close racing is good racing.…

I was not happy about the volume and the fact that fans of Rossi were cheering when Lorenzo crashed out. It is repulsive to me and I’m starting to dislike them. Rossi would never cheer at the misfortune of his fellow rider much less his teammate.

The LAPD has its own system to test cars to see if they qualify for police work. It’s pretty rigorous and cars like the Taurus are barely passing while suv’s like the suburban and explorer get the nod.

I believe it all comes down to the idea of American exceptionalisim for American consumers. The whole “I just dropped $30k plus on a bike made in ‘Murcia and that means it’s the best! I’m the best! Yeah it’s big because bigger is better. Yeah it’s loud because loud pipes save lives like a true American hero! It is the…

When I married my wife we simply added my last name to her full name. I have assets that would be easier to collect for her, if I were to no longer exist, if she had my last name which is a very uncommon one. But she also kept her last name to make any paperwork for inheritance easy as well.

I really want one of these but can't afford one. In the meantime I have the Olympia mesh suit for hot weather riding and a large garbage bag (told you I can't afford it) that goes over it for wet weather riding. That cost me just under $400 and is all day comfortable in heat soaked fire weather California.

You mean all this car goodness is going to be behind a paywall?!? Maan, not again!

I have a 29” inseam and after two weeks I felt like it didn’t matter on my knobby tired VStrom 1000. Use the left foot rest to hop on and practice riding at less than walking pace in some grass and you are on your way to that adventure life...yo.

Go go power ranger! Plus helmet gloves and boots. And a go pro for insurance.

Holy crap. That's genius! I mean it wouldn't work on road courses like Sonoma or the glen, but these tracks are a bit Jekyll and Hyde depending on the direction they have been run. It would change night time racing tracks, as they would have to make the lighting setup adjustable. And they would also have to qualify…

Been there. Daily’d it. Bought the t-shirt. Would probably still have it if I didn't end up selling it for more than I got it for.

That I didn't know. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
