Yeah, I think 450ish. The modern 450 motors are so damn powerful, as can be seen in the Dakar bikes, there’s no reason to go bigger and add weight. Basically a Honda equivalent of the KTM 450 or 500 EXC with more fairing and bits to improve on-road manners (damped drivetrain, or better seat, or slightly less…

HEY! I resemble that remark!

This just reminded me of how many Ford trucks I’ve ridden in or driven, owned by me or my dad (who has a construction business, so, lots of trucks): 1966 F250 (actually owned by my wife), 1980-something F350 flatbed, 1980-something F350 flat bed with dump function, 1980-something F800 dump truck, 1988 F250, 1994 F250,…

Yes. With a complicated drivetrain:

Feel like I have to reply in the name of racing, not just motorcycles: just watch it. Then, name one major professional racing organization or teams that don’t rely on sponsorship, then name one type of “Motorsport” which requires such physical athleticism, training, concentration, and mechanical preparation of the…

The “pole road” right out of town is something to behold. Watching the trophy trucks go by at ~80mph, using just about all of their 3' of suspension travel, is absolutely nuts. I do now have a strange desire to have dust blown in my face while holding my beer in a koozie...so thanks for that!

I use both regularly for my commute, just to check the best of 2 or 3 routes I could take. Bounce back and forth, as there are features of each that stand out as “nice” for regular use and not “find me the best way because I have no idea where I’m at”. Google maps has always been my go to for unfamiliar areas, but…

Yeah, you must have missed my lowly post about fantasy SX and starting the group. I have no clue about road racing though. Maybe next year, when Lanesplitter is HUGE, we’ll have a big group..

You should just come down with a group of us on a day trip of singletrack in northern Baja (yep) if you can hang in the rough stuff, or a ~3 day trip staying up in the northern area, do a loop, and drink a lot of beer. That’ll be a good intro without having any support vehicles, or a week-long commitment and monetary…

Saleen S7. Obviously.

They’re taking a non-spec class type race, and spending a shitload of time and money to try to make equalize the cars like a spec class. I’m somewhat in agreement that managed competition can be lame, such as it is in this situation, but I don’t necessarily think it’s a synonym for selected winner. Regardless, either…

Nope, not in the US. Nor does Infiniti.

Buzz Killington takes his whining very seriously. You’re fine, and deserve to have some fun on occasion.

You did it! I see 100,026. I was already subscribed, so it’s not like I bumped it over or anything. Okay, so now what? ;-)

Holy crap! Raptor in Dubai! I like this so much. That is the type of machine that should be driven in the middle of a vast desert. Kudos to you!

Yeah, I didn’t do so hot. There’s always someone who guesses right...just by sheer numbers of people playing. That’s why the groups are nice...a little better chance to brag!

I was so close to yelling at you as i started reading your comment...

Peick is an idiot for reacting that way just for the sake of being a professional with sponsors, etc, and deservedly got kicked out of the rest of the night’s racing. Friese is a bitch, who shows good speed, but rides overly aggressive (and is far from the first time Peick has had issues with him, see video). Luckily,…

A little late for last night, but I made a “Lanesplitter” group, open for anyone to join!
