Good eye on the engine color! My parts bikes were an ‘84 and ‘85 but I always wanted the red, white, and blue color scheme. The rear brake setup was figured out by someone on the Nighthawk forums about a decade ago - it’s a wheel from an NT700V (shaft drive, splines match right up). Then it uses a Shadow axle, a CBR…

That red, white, and blue combination was available in ‘86 only, it’s very rare! Mine was not originally that color. I painted the metallic blue and white on the tank and purchased the red stripe decals and the RWB Honda wings.

Get to it! The 700s is worth it! What does it need? I combined two scrap parts bikes into one good 700s, including rebuilding the entire engine.

Winds were strong enough that Ann Marie struggled to keep her Jeep straight on the highway

This is an extremely clever innovation, and it seems like it would be quite useful, but what excites me most about it is that it represents one of the first genuinely new roles for taillights since, most likely, the taillight’s use as an indicator of locked/unlocked status for remote control locking, which started in…

no two dynos spit out the same number

My best find was a ‘77 CB750 for $175. Guy was losing his storage space and the thing was dead, wouldn’t click or turn over or anything, needed it gone TODAY.

Any telemetry they pull they can also easily get from my cars computer if they want to pull the data while the cars at the shop.

Your SUV doesn’t have a real name, only a random combination of letters and numbers. The letters don’t mean anything. The numbers only vaguely refer to the relative size of the vehicle in comparison to your other vehicles.

Right here?

I think it is a shame you won’t write the same thing about every volume manufacturer doing exactly this.

It’s funny because I went to Kia’s website to see which vehicle I could pretend is off-roady, only to find this picture:

As of right now I’m actually able to see grayed replies for the first time in months, which was not the case earlier today.

What kind of mileage do they end up with when the taxi companies are “done”?

You can hook the motor leads up to a braking resistor and it will stop very quickly. This is the same concept as regenerative braking, but a resistor bank can take way more juice way more quickly than a battery can. You just end up with heat, you don’t get to capture any of that energy.

Do you have any experience with the Revel systems in the new Lincolns? SavageGeese really liked the setup in the Nautilus they tested, they said it was one of the best they’ve ever tested in a sub-$70k vehicle.

Well I guess you’ll need to better state your stance then. So far all I’ve gotten is, “Jalopnik keeps telling me that in the future we won’t be able to buy gas cars and I don’t like that.”
