The 690 is such a fun bike.  Handles incredibly well thanks to the fuel tank being over the back wheel.  More than enough power on the highway.  Enough suspension travel and light enough that it’s not a total pig off road.  

Not the 690.  6,000 mile oil change interval.  Drain the oil, replace the filter, pull and clean two screens.  Reassemble and fill.  I won’t stretch it  to 6,000, probably more in the 3-4000 mile range.

I’ll always be partial to the notchback. Wish I still had this one:

KTM 690 Enduro.  

My rule breaking answer is the C7R:

Pretty sure the C8 Z06 is expected to go on sale by the end of the year, so that gets my vote.  

Had one of those guys on my block, thankfully it looks like they moved out. Beat up, slammed Ram 1500.  Straight piped, probably some e-bay headers on there.  Either 100% throttle or on the brakes, nothing in between.  

I’m having a blast with TTW so far.  Helping the Murphs has been one of my favorites so far, blowing away those little blue guys was fun.

But then you’d have to be seen driving a Mini or Abarth around...

I rented a prepped Suzuki Swift for a few laps of the Nurburgring.  Great little car.  Know what would have made it even better?  RWD.

I’ll understand FWD still sucks :)

FWD sucks no matter how ‘sporty’ they try to make it.

That’ll be me when my truck eventually gets here.. but after putting 15-18k down on the truck I’ll still have about 20k in savings so I should be alright.

Gas prices have held steady at $3.999/gal at the station near my work in southwest metro MN.  

Don’t forget the folks splitting lanes to stop anyone from getting by.

Bummer.  Normally I would have used GT7 as an excuse to track down and buy a PS5, but I think I’ll wait this one out.  Also, surprised at only 10-15 hours of ‘events’.  Not sure how many hours I have into FM7, but I still haven’t finished up the career mode.  Hopefully FM8 comes out sometime within the next year..

Reverse:

More like Never Forward, eh?

Most moto front tires ‘look’ backwards, but that is likely the correct mounting orientation.

I’m not much of a Euro car guy, but the 190E has always been a favorite.
