I’m not deriding the choice to not wave to someone who’s obviously picked up a rental. I have deeper issues with the whole “I’m not going to wave to someone riding a scooter (or whatever) because it’s beneath me as I’m a ‘real motorcycle rider’” attitude. That’s just garbage. Someone on a 150cc Chinese turd bike is…

Damn son, who shat in your Wheaties this morning?

So, let me get this straight. Since scooters got a “free pass” from social stigma in the 1950's, now you as a false gatekeeper feel the need to apply stigma to the one part of the powersports industry that makes new rider entry easy?

That’s just dumb and archaic thinking. I stand by my statement.

Spring for the package that gives the 6MT Sport U the 7" screen and the power windows. That’s the absolute sweet spot. Ask me how I know :) 

Wranglers are just the sports cars of the off road world. Just like in a sports car, the auto is often objectively better, but the manuals just tend to be more fun for many.

This is a bad take. 2 wheels is 2 wheels. What makes a scooter rider doing 35 less of a rider than someone on a CBR doing 35?

You’re what is killing the powersports industry.

Deadspin hates the Rays. That’s why. 

Tampa Plays the Yankees hard damn near every series. That’s no gimme.  NY is probably going to have a tough go of it either way.

This being said, nothing would make me happier than to see the Yankees lose in a playoff series to the Rays.

I’ve said this before, but the kids ain’t stepping foot into the typical HD showroom.

Also, politics. Pay attention to whom the typical HD customer stands behind politically as opposed to the typical millennial. Does anyone really think the millennial customer is going to want to be associated with the installed HD…

Once you spring for the Maui’s... there’s nothing else anymore.

Want and afford are two very different things unfortunately.

I enjoy going to a baseball game. Honestly, it is a great time.
I make it to like 2 MLB games a year. I live maaaaayyyybe 5 miles from a pro team’s stadium. It’s simply too expensive to go to a game. Beers are like 12 bucks now, and the tickets? Crazy! Food? how much do you want me to spend on a hot dog?! How many…

If the Rays manage to take out the A’s I think they stand a good chance against the Astros; although they don’t play in the same division and therefore lack familiarity, both teams have had pretty comparable records for the second half of the season and the Rays were able to take the series early in the season in…

To be fair, at least he’s writing about bikes, which there wasn’t much of here for a good long time. It’s apparent in his writing that he’s pretty new to bikes and isn’t a motorcycle journalist or longtime industry student, and therefore lacks historical context regarding powersports in general. However, this comes…

Seriously. And thank you for beating me to the punch here. You stated this in a much calmer fashion that I would have.

Holy shit!  He totally does!

I love a good performance based automotive beef. That’s good for all of us.
Less good for those of us that can’t buy 100k cars, but still good overall.

Wait, you grew up in Florida, and are now freaking out over one admittedly dinky snake?

This doesn’t check out.

Disagree. My iPhone SE (RIP) got notably faster with iOS 12 over 11, and I know I wasn’t alone on this.

I would say to judiciously update instead of outright rejecting updates altogether.

Go for a different kind of performance and get a 2 door Wrangler.
