Thirty years ago my parents had a chance saved their marriage, but I don’t see you writing any scathing editorials about that failure!

I don’t know who Carlos Gomez is outside of a baseball player who plays for the Rays, but I’d put a cool $100 on him being involved in a domestic abuse case (past or future).
They’re programmed-in gear ratios if you want to pretend you’re Vroom-Vroom Real Race Car Driver. Look! It’s got paddles like a WRC car! I miss Mistubishi in the WRC. :’( GUESS I’M A TOYOTA FAN NOW.
They’ll just do their usual mental gymnastics to blame the democRATS.
Jalopnik freaks out about tariffs destroying economic viability. Has no problem with regulations (ie. environmental) doing the same.
I had to drive Indy to Chicago on Thursday, and this scenario played out often. I was going 70-75 mph in a 70 mph zone. I looked to make sure nobody was getting ready to pass me, and I pull out to pass a line of semis. Sure enough, not 30 seconds into my one minute endeavor, someone glues themselves to my rear bumper.
I know the feeling. Do you ride in the back and demand to be chauffeured as well?
Because of the engine size. People look and see the 1200cc engines and think they’re twice as fast and even faster than 600cc and 1000cc supersports. I had an SV650 that absolutely destroyed a harley in a highway race and this was an SV650. They top out at 130.
Yea, go in their dealership and ask to look at something other than the top of the line bike. The salespeople will try to shame you for not being a big enough man for the biggest model.
I fucking hate those. Not just bikes but the cars as well. They tend to rev more in residential areas. Complete fucking tools.
I hate when I’m in the mountains enjoying the quiet beauty or whatever and some cabal of fuckwads on their Harley drives through and I have to listen to the damn things for about 10 minutes. What a bunch of narcissistic a-holes! I don’t want to listen to their midlife crisis or suppressed rebel ways.
Another millennial here. I agree, they sound like shit, and you feel like a complete tool even being around someone who owns one.
Yup. It is a game of “Redneck asshole, or dentist cosplaying a redneck asshole”? Neither is a good look on anyone.
The most amazing thing is that the Harley riders think they are cool as can be, but virtually everyone else thinks they are a total tool.
Millennial here as well. I disagree. Harley’s sound like shit, have a bad stigma behind them and are fat ugly bikes. They either need to make an actual sport bike or wither away.
If I never hear another fucking Harley going down 9 on the weekend it will be too soon.
Yeah, that guy needs to wait his turn. As long as you are passing traffic at a reasonable pace and get over when you can safely, he can wait his turn, you’re doing nothing wrong. I can’t speak for other states, but our laws for speed are technically “safe and prudent”. Basically, as long as you’re not driving super…
Sorry you had shitty driving instructors. Mine had me get on the highway, told me we were going to break the law, and had me take it up to 70 to practice lane-switching. Then proceeded to complain about the vast difference between the posted speed limit (55) and the actual speed everyone including the cops drives at…
