Jesus..when you start, can I have a job?

Great pick on the new bike!
Last year, I picked up a Kawi Z800/ABS for my birthday (NOS)
What’s not to love about a standard/hooligan-esque bike that’s comfortable all day, gets great mileage, and looks good while doing it?

Former H-D mechanic, and it is my considered opinion that you’re wrong on all accounts.

That, and as long as Willy G is anywhere near any design authority, nothing at all will change..

Kawasaki here, but otherwise...yup.

That was the year Hardly Ableson whined to the gubmint that they couldn’t compete with ‘them import motorcycle companies’ and demanded that something be done about it.

So, that ol’ idiot, Ronnie Raygun, stuck a tarrif into place on Japanese motorcycles 750cc’s and over. This, according to Hardly, was “their” territory..

…

The Z900RS is a better bike, by whole light years.

Good lord, could NOT have articulated it any better. Take your star, you beast!

This right here. My Kawasaki doesn’t have an aftermarket exhaust on it, as it runs great, and I think the stock one looks pretty good.

Don’t let “noise” save your skin. Use your head, and use your skills.
Because that’s really all that will.

Hardly-Ableson has a history of this. See Aermacchi motorcycles in the 70's, and much more recently, Buell...

The McLaren F1 is one of the most perfectly beautiful cars of all time, hands down.  

So much this.  GOD, so MUCH THIS!

So...friction reduction is the goal here...to make fewer pit stops necessary? To get max performance out of the tires for a longer period? Both?

This would point to a pit strategy, it would seem..

NO decade old truck on a salvage title is worth 10 grand.  Total crack pipe.

Hypocrite. By your logic, nobody needs a McLaren F1, a Hellcat, or even a Supra, either...but I don’t see the idea of those having “too much power” being bandied about.

Good lord.  For such a car with all the right curves, it sure is one ugly fuckin’ vehicle.  *BLECH*...

Nicely written.
Now..lets get that orange fuckin’ imbecile out of the white house.

And win.

You think you’re gonna get 75% of the country to agree to an amendment of any sort in the constitution? Without changing a single thing, be it spelling, wording, or even punctuation?

Fat chance.

Yeah...that’s doubtful, at best. (Except in your mind...such as it is.)
