I just wished someone would build a really good looking adventure bike. The vast majority seem to be ugly or really ugly. The hand full that are not either seem to be more street bike wearing adventure bike clothing or a full on dirt bike with too big of a motor.

Probably not a bad one, not like buying an R1 as your first bike. Still a lot of money to spend on a first bike, especially if you are thinking of taking it off pavement, where you may be more likely to lay it down. I’d say on your first bike figure your going to lay it down at some point. Not necessarily that your…

I’ve never encountered and admissions fee, I think I would walk away from any junkyard asking me to pay that. I suppose if they credit me the fee when I buy some parts maybe I might not mind. I would suspect the fee is to cover pocketed parts. I can remember putting lug nuts and screw covers trim panels in my tool…

I used to love going to junk yards but then most the yards in my area started severely limiting access. They would not allow you to go into the yard on your own and many just plain would not allow you to go into the yard. You had to tell them what part you needed and they would go and find it and bring it up. A few…

I’m not sure if they have reversed the rules, judging by recent video’s I have seen they probably have. But when I was there Cameras were strictly Verboten.

My last insurance company raised my rates, their justification, I have too many credit cards and my credit score was too high. I have 2 personal credit cards. When I called my agent she claimed that people with more than 1 credit card and with high credit scores tend to have higher claims than people with 1 or no…

Of course if it DOES shut off she's pulling out into traffic leaving the airport and suddenly as she pulls out it sputters and dies and she can't brake because she does not weigh enough to fully depress the now unassisted brake pedal, rolls out in front of that truck driver that is checking his route do his next…

You right in that it is not universally true, cities like NYC, Boston, San Fran, where population reaches a certain density such that even off peak hours mass transit is still full it is more environmentally sound. Out side of those small number of major metropolises mass transit is actually more environmentally…

I would sooooo fail, I’d probably be selling a car every couple weeks so I could make room for my other latest choice. I mean in just thinking about this, I know my rule has always been if I have to have only one vehicle it will be a truck, because they are so useful. Currently I’d likely go with a Modified Dodge Ram,…

No doubt, but when it comes to Safety, ever since Ayrton Senna’s death F1 has taken safety far more seriously than just about any other major racing series.

So why did hitting cancel cause my 'comment' above to get published??? Glad I did not say something to embarrassing.

I always watch the buy out price, when entering the lease. Sometimes you can find the buy out price is lower than what it will likely sell second hand after 2 or 3 years of depreciation, so long as the car is in good condition. I have a few times bought the car at the end of a lease and then immediately put a for sale…

I might be convinced within the context of a given group, or what people have learned just from school or how broad based their knowledge is about the Philippines.

I love the Philippines, have a blast every time I go. A bit presumptuous to assume most Americans don’t know anything about the Philippines though, considering the long standing Military presence, and a large presence at that. Also considering many business and tourist connections and even Family connections. I can…

Yes it does, although define wear component? I would define that as oil, belts, brakes, clutch if a manual, and so on. I suspect you may be including the entire engine, and maybe transmission. But still that leaves major suspension components, the body and frame. Which brings up something else, where is this car. If…

I would guess a big part of it is extended warranties. The last car I bought, was going to be mostly for commuting and a grocery getter. So I wanted something I need not ever worry about, and the fact it still had the basic warranty valid at the time I bought it, and the extended warranty was transferable, means I do…

Not really interested in the midsized trucks, I really wish Toyota would make a bigger heavier duty Tundra. That said I think Toyota has been getting a little over confident. It used to be Toyota was bullet proof quality and reliability. I’ve heard more and more complaints from Toyota owners of reliability issues. Not…

My feeling exactly. I only slightly hate them because they are, well ugly and seem to be a not quite motorcycle. I love motorcycles, I love 2 wheels, I even enjoy riding my mountain bike, again 2 wheels. 2 wheels turn the right way, anything more than that and it destroys the experience cause it turns all wrong.…

If it was really anyone other than Jenson Button I would not even try to argue. Yes many athletes are wild partiers, open any tabloid and you can see examples. That said I have met a few world class athletes from some Superbowl winning quarterbacks to championship WSBK motorcyclists to Olympic runners and skiers. Not…
