I thought Diplos were those toy building blocks that were basically just giant Legos.

The Fur-RAPTOR has a 1200W motor, which I think comes to around—can this be right?—under two horsepower or so? I’m not certain, but it’s not that much.

I’ll go you one better and say all cafe builds, for anything other than vintage racing, are dumb.

It would take a lot of time to recreate this, but the world is not wanting for cafe’d out CB’s.  Unless you’re head over heals in love with this exact bike, it wouldn’t take long to find something similar for less money.

Generally more downforce = more drag, so I kind of wonder if the author heard they swapped out the wing and erroneously assumed it was for more downforce.

As ‘send in the drones’ alluded to, if you throw a lit cigarette into a puddle of gasoline, it will extinguish the cigarette. It’s kind of dumb, but no need to make a big fuss over it.

All they have to do is include a cork in the kit, and it’s both!

My very first time riding a 3-wheeler, I started out running parallel to a fence, and ended up running into it while trying to steer away from it by hanging off the side and countersteering like a motorcycle.  It took a minute for me to adjust.

A wrong motor swap that’s running 27 psi through an engine that was originally naturally aspirated?

You talking ‘bout them Teslas that overheat and go into limp mode after about 1 lap on a race track?

This is the clearly the first act of what’s going to be a pretty good horror movie.

A 121 mph trap is right in line with what I’d expect from a 495 hp 3,500 lb car.

Yeah, to me the more fundamental issue is... how do you wash it and maintain it? I had a friend who had a satin black car that made the mistake of trying to buff out a scratch, which cursed him to a satin black car with one kind of shiny spot.

Yeah, for a proper Torchinsky article their needs to be a part where the buses are charged by pedal powered generators at each seat that convert childhood obesity into electricity.

$28k gets you a 2-door mail delivery Jeep.  4-door Rubicons start at $42k.

Honest question... Where does one need/use an ADV bike in the US?

Putting a lowering kit on an Africa Twin is like putting an extended swingarm on a 600.

This obviously doesn’t have the same production values as a movie, but it’s worth a watch for anybody that follows IOM or Irish Road Racing.

GPS had not been invented yet and Maultsby was too far north to rely on ground navigation systems, so the pilot navigated reading the stars. Unfortunately, in part due to the Northern Lights, Maultsby got lost and started heading in the wrong direction: into Soviet airspace.

Key characteristics to listen for: a higher-pitched exhaust note, a consistent exhaust note without the pushrod’s staccato bass line, higher RPM than a pushrod motor typically reaches characterized by longer times between upshifts, and lightning quick downshifts wherein the engine spins up to higher RPM much faster…
