You must be from the south if you think you can ride in the cold without electric heat for your hands. It’s not like it’s going to have a major effect on range as heated grips only require 60 Watts or 0.08hp total, which is practically nothing.

I really want to be excited about this, but TVS apparently has a horrible reputation in India. Bad designs, poor build quality, and crappy customer customer service seem to be recurring themes.

“Think of it this way, they’re not punishing people for driving a competition vehicle, they’re just rewarding those that buy the products they make.”

Verbal judo?

Our instructor when I took the MSF class was working at a BMW dealership when Boston PD put out a RFP for new police bikes. At the very top of the requirements for the new bike was this:

I’ve been very impressed with your work on Lanesplitter so far. In fact my only feedback would be keeping an eye on the things that Wes writes in his articles. For example:

Ok great. Now re-read your last comment.

Wow you skipped right past the tin hat and right on to chemtrails

Would you like a tin hat with that?

MotoGP bikes use lever guards so that bumping the lever into a hard thing (like another motorcycle) doesn’t pull the brake lever. However something soft (like the back of Rossi’s thigh) would be able to squish around the lever guard, pushing the lever back.

Can you think of a reason why someone as skilled as Marquez would abruptly grab a fistful of brake while cranked over in a corner?

Why no, I hadn’t realized the occupation was going on. What is this Gaza of which you speak? And the ...let’s see here...West Bank?

False dichotomies like what you’re trying to set up here are how poor decisions get made. There is no black and white here. Everything in the middle east is shades of gray.

Welp. Goodwin’s law has happened. Everyone can pack up and go home.

I refer you back to my original comment about massive overpopulation and scarcity of resources now that the international community decided to demand Israel give up a significant portion of the useable land after Jordan refused to give land to the [Jordanian] Palestinians.

That made literally no sense.
