My ‘14 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 has a delightful v-twin. There is no reason HD can’t latch onto the adv-style or even make a legit adv with their modern v-twins. Even their aging base could get excited about that. I see more boomers on adv bikes than HDs anyway (at least in the PNW).

I don’t get why Ferrari put mediums on Seb at the VSC stop (and why they stopped at all). Surely they had data since FP1, and could wager that the other teams wouldn’t waste a 24sec pit only to be hamstrung with marginal pace. Their used softs would’ve been better.

Their tourist motto: “Catalonia: We’re Spain...ish!”

She is dumb and deserves to get fired. Actions have consequences. How is this so hard for you fucks to understand?

Alonso is the real deal. If he had a reliable car at Indy, he had a real chance. I hope he does well at Le Mans.

Double helix, 180° rotation. Problem solved.

Laguna Seca! Who doesn’t want to see a modern F1 car in the corkscrew?

I mean, most politicians are in the pockets of the oil companies if they even have a whiff of presence in their states, so it’s not unfathomable that they’d be “disinterested” in this. However, if I was an oil or coal company, and saw this tech around the corner, I’d be looking for opportunities to capitalize on its…

Lockheed Martin needs to hurry up with their mini fusion reactors. EV sales will explode.

So no mention of Samantha Bee doing this very thing?

Grid girls with grid puppies

Bring back grid girls.

Precision

That’s a reasonable choice one has to make, something I’ve done too. In the end, it’s not Jalopnik’s nor Deadspin’s fault the results are shared before everyone has watched it. If it is a priority to someone, they should take action to watch it on their time.

So because I realize that the internet exists and there is a chance that a story could give the results, I choose to work around the blog’s schedule of releasing stories by either watching it live or watching it later without getting online, I’m the narcissist?

Boohoo. Your inadequacy isn’t your inability to watch it live, it is not having the self-control to avoid digital media until you are able to enjoy the race in its entirety.

In all honesty, if it really means that much to you to see it for yourself, you should just avoid the internet altogether and make it a priority to watch it the first thing Sunday morning.

adding weight at the top of the plane has a disproportionate impact on balance

I liked this article better when The Drive posted it on 3/30: http://www.thedrive.com/news/19793/audi-might-bring-the-rs-4-and-rs-6-avant-stateside-if-we-plead-hard-enough

Shitty glide ratio is one downside to those small aerobatic planes. Pitching for best glide speed and setting up to land without flaps (to reduce drag) looks terrifying in that one. He already had his best landing spot made, and was mentally prepared to go for it. With a stroke of luck the engine came back as he ran…
