Maybe it’s ‘cause FLCL was a short series.. I love FLCL but a lot of other anime is too ‘anime’ for me.

They can occasionally do good wheels.. I’m a bit biased but I think the 1LE wheels are pretty damn nice. And no porosity!

I’ve been looking for an extended cab ZR2, and it’s the same story. Any used one out there is too close to new pricing that it doesn’t make any sense.

I did almost the same thing, except I went from a Z1000 to a KTM 690 Enduro. The other prod was a buddy bought a CRF250 Rally last year and was having too much fun on it.

If we get a nice big first snowfall next winter, before the roads are just salt slush, I’m taking my 690E out and bombing around

Just put a pair of Oxford heated grips on my 690E.  Sooooo nice, and very worth the ~$90 they cost.  

Quad 4's drove the PS pump off of the intake camshaft, but at least they used a timing chain.

That’s probably the best description for these big cruiser bikes that I’ve heard.

Can’t wait to see this in slideshow format.

I have an unhealthy fetish appreciation for brake calipers.  Those look great!

New bare-bones LT1 trim will get you a V8 for something like 32k. ‘Stang isn’t that much more, but you’re not gonna be doing too much with all that power as both cars come with something like 245 section all season rear tires. low optioned SS is below $40 and at least steps up to 275 performance tires. Of course,…

Get the Cramro cleaned up and sell it. It’s an amazing car and I’ll miss driving it, but I’ve had my fun with it. Time to sell it while it’s still worth something and before I get a speeding ticket.

I dunno.. it’s this weird mix of looking aggressive and bland at the same time.  And stop it with the full length DRL’s on the front.  We don’t need Tron cars on the road already.

The one bright spot in the pandemic - I’ve spent virtually no time in stop and go traffic. My 17 mile commute would take anywhere from 40 minutes to over an hour. The past year it’s taken 25 minutes average.  I’m ‘essential’ so have been doing my job as normal the past year.

I had the good fortune of being in Germany near the ‘ring in 2019 the weekend of an ADAC race(and the weekend before, for the Old Timer’s GP, which was amazing), and got to see and hear the Callaway C7 up close. Quite the car.

A 10k motorcycle does not use more expensive raw materials than a 10k bicycle.

This just in: Companies make high end product and charge accordingly for them.

DCTC!  They still run track days there, both moto and car.  SCCA runs counter clockwise, but roughly the same layout.  Very much on the ‘street’ side of street courses, rough and with plenty of bumps.  Usually top out 3rd gear in the Cramro on the back straight, somewhere around 105.  One time out there a guy was…

Yup.  I’m not sure what’s worse, the Honda crowd or the VAG crowd around here.
