They are not wandering around “courting” danger. They are on an adventure to see the world and experience different cultures, and doing it on 2 wheels so you are out in the environment the entire time really puts you closer in touch with the world you are traveling through.

I think “danger” is more of a byproduct of “seeing cool shit”. Not everybody hops on a motorcycle ride around the world, a cross country thru-hike, or the like because they have a death wish. If you want to live within your insulated sphere, then by all means, but let other people live their lives.

Once Tesla hears that you didn’t pay for the optional convertible package, you’ll be getting a bill in the mail.

1. The world is a big, beautiful place full of interesting people. You have to explore it in person to get the full experience.

Oh my god.

If you're trying to get to the finish line faster than the other guy, you're racing.

You’ve probably never tried to keep a 7 sec drag car going in a straight line at full bore before. Let alone drive a dragster for 3.6 sec @ 334 mph in a 1/4 mile. It’s much more difficult than it looks.  

Especially now that they’re running Mustangs and Camaros, you actually have V8 base cars (unlike the Fusions or Luminas of the past). It would also force Toyota to stuff a V8 into something smaller than a truck.

Dirt track racing and going back to their roots sounds great!

Come on, give the Dementia Joe thing a rest. Did you not watch the debate? He didn’t have any problem articulating and he had to deal with an obnoxious a-hole all night.

I disagree. The election comes down to the swing states that can go either way. The country is balanced on a knife edge politically. As I said, in ‘16 Trump was fresh and new, talked a great game, and let’s face it, Hillary Clinton inspired visceral hatred in an awful lot of people for various reasons. She’s not…

I consider myself a good old-fashioned Maine Independent (even though I am now a FL resident and registered Democrat). I have always voted for the person, not the party. Voted for Susan Collins every time she has run. Campaigned for Bush I in college. Voted for Bush II grudgingly both times - I didn’t like him but I…

The echo chamber on the right is so insane right now. The gymnastics they are doing to spin this debate as a win for Trump is laughable. I implore everyone to head over to r/conservative on Reddit for a laugh. I sat out 2016, I was a Republican-leaning Independent in a heavy blue state, but after what the senate has…

The moderator should have a button to shut off someone’s mic when they’re speaking out of turn. Or their mics should just be off when it’s not their turn by default.  

I want to give the moderator one of the high-powered nerf ball guns. Then, if the moderator has to speak to you more than once, *thwack* all of America gets to watch you take a nerf ball to the forehead in real time.

Neutral: CNN summed the debate up perfectly - one pundit literally called it a shitshow, another called it a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a trainwreck. And I think they undersold it. I can’t blame the moderator - the only way to control Trump would be to have a remotely controlled cattle prod up his ass.…

Groms are incredibly fun– and the aftermarket support is large. I decided to modify mine in the way of an adventure bike, since living in Montana delivers plenty of forest service roads to explore.. and it’s easy to bring camping.
Much my bike’s body is made up of custom parts, some made from chopping up CRF 50 & 110…
