Stick to butts.

Jesus would try and save Herod. Just sayin’.

I think they will have a hard time proving it harmed them, nobody believed this guy. Not really. Other than the obvious changes EVERYONE suspected none of the specific real left-turns EPIC made that this guy called out were believed by the mainstream. Certainly not to the pant of affecting anyone’s purchases.

Basically. Remove the bags and scale the fairing down by 1/2 and you’re there. It’s to the best of my memory one of many old Silverwing recycles that they did at the time. Same as on the CX500E, but it had “CM” badging.

EDIT: The Tig Notaro interview. My bad.

I feel like my question is being interpreted as an attack on big twins, it isn’t. Just wondering how much value there is in innovation in a design that’s kind of old-school. Can you improve them? Sure. But doesn’t other new tech solve the problems you’re compensating with the new design and tech already?

My point isn’t against twins, just how worthwhile is it investing in innovative design for them at this point?

CM500 (accidentally held down the dash key). Same as the CX but with a fairing that acted like a kite any time a semi would pass me.

I don’t doubt they can be improved, as as I note above I do appreciate the specific feel of a big twin (well I had a 1000, so “big” for me), but how noticeable is the difference relative to how much skull sweat that went into the incremental improvements here?

I certainly appreciate the power band I had with a 1000 twin, I guess what I’m saying is just how much can you improve the tech from model to model at this point?

Ok, srs question, and I have owned both a Sportster (79 AMF, but it was fine) and a CM5— (Guzzi clone Honda). I’m not hating twins medium and large but:

Nobody is ketting the “King” thing is sexual fetishism? Butch/Masc, the shades, the peacocking, he’s chubby....

Corolla is boring and old, but check the Jezebel interview from 2015 on what a more broadly appealing comedian thinks of safe spaces.

I’m almost 50, and have avoided multiplayer games since it stopped being LAN oriented, but in a moment of boredom and broke-ness I downloaded and began playing FN and have really enjoyed it. The learning curve to getting to basic survival is not steep, and you do not need to engage in any chat features to have a good…

Wyden stands up for Hong Kong, but tried to block and even criminalize divestment from Israel.

You know who’s REALLY sorry? The original reporter who dug them up and had more and worse ones on his own account that were more recent.

This alt comedy surrealist genius:

Watch this cool trick where we convince people who call themselves ‘Progressives’ to vote Center-Right.

“Cancel Culture” is real, it’s the actual positive impact of it that tents towards fantasy.

So funny that th same standard of bias we use to affirm the veracity of someone “This court action is not convenient for them so they must be telling the truth” goes right the fuck out the window when it rubs up against our comfortable assumptions.
