...Meanwhile, here in Indiana if you see a guy on a scooter it usually means they’ve had 5 DUI’s and ain’t scared of going back to jail... and the guy on the Harley in black leather is a PTA member living his middle-management mid-life crisis.

Well... also the Crankshaft, flywheel, clutch, stator, all the gears in the gearbox, etc. (assuming the motor is mounted transversely)

This. I have stock exhausts on all my bikes that don’t see a racetrack.

An idiot narcissist with early onset dementia. That’s fine if all he’s doing is talking shit while on the golf course. He should not be POTUS.

150k miles of gas free driving = ~$14k if you’re comparing it to a 33mpg car, which is what the Fit gets.

$18k buys a brand new Fiesta ST... at least up until there aren’t any more brand new Fiesta ST’s.

I’ve called the cops on two drivers... In the first case, I exited the interstate before I saw the outcome, in the second case I saw them pull the guy over and the police later called me back to get my information since they had made an arrest.

Only if they’re being contradicted by authorities in a helicopter.

Same... Well aside from winning a trip with an essay.

Credit where credit is due... That company did a good job of stretching the bodywork to fit without making it look weird.

That’s debatable. Cadillac did things right by actually monitoring the driver to make sure they’re watching the road.  Tesla should’ve done that.

Also worth noting is some helmets have have cheek pads that pop out specifically to make the helmet easier to take off an injured rider... They look like this.

If you actually did risk evaluation you would never get on a motorcycle in the first place.

Up until I read this article I had assumed the 2F2F car was an EVO VIII. I feel like a damned fool.

Today, in 2019, absolutely... I kind of feel bad for all the guys who donated 20 years ago when the idea of a national DNA database was unfathomable.

High belt lines for pedestrian safety are kind of analogous to slightly safer skydiving helmets.

What you really are scales, which many state troopers happen to have them in their cars for this exact reason.

This... At best, that run could be considered a proof of concept. If they take one of these “Super Sport 300+” editions and do back to back runs in opposite directions with a 300+ mph average, then they can have their crown... whether Guinness is there or not.

I’m literally scared shitless, that they are going to go whole hog with this low-hp and high-aero setup for the Gen 7. I hope I’m wrong, but who the hell knows with this management.

I actually had no idea they did that until this article.  It’s only dumb if they don’t award the winner of the final race the Piston Cup.
