This is probably the OP’s idea of a good usable wagon.

No. We need the RS6 Avant. Literally yesterday.

I doubt this, but ok.

Not unless it’s a CVT programmed to keep the engine running at its peak power range the entire time (no shifting). Off course, that would be too good, hence they were banned.

You should listen to your user name.

IIRC, there is a difference in the contact area of the two gears. If the input force is the same with both types, the helical gear has a smaller contact area so there is high pressure on the surface of the gear. Straight cut has a large contact area so less pressure on the surface.

mmmm nothing like nailing the shift on straight cut dog boxes. It makes you feel like a hero. When you get it wrong, everyone at the track knows.

Just as I suspected. A totaled R32, with the valuable interior sold off, then rebuilt to some “standard”. Piece of actual garbage.

It may have a clean title, but it’s not without its blemishes. Just for kicks I pulled the Carfax on it.

Absolutely, it will be interesting going forward.

I don’t have any of those. And I’ve been riding over 40 years.

I never said that. I’m very aware that you can be injured more easily on a motorcycle than in a car.

Out of curiosity, do we know the sandbags were covered in the drivers’ meeting? A lot of where the blame falls in this case seems to hinge on whether it was reasonable for the driver to assume those sandbags were there, either because that’s a reasonable place for them to be or because it was (potentially) covered in…

Sounds like you haven’t met many bikers.

I think he gave up to early on his line. If he had held it longer he probably would have made the corner. I think he realized he was going to be close, freaked out, and began target fixation. He should he leaned more.

Yeah, no you’re right. If someone went off in a Miata, hit that sandbag and flipped their car, they’d totally just eat the cost and not try to put the blame on anyone else.

I don’t feel for him at all. He’s a terrible rider and should never get on a bike again.

Signed the waiver and missed the rider’s meeting. Sorry you broke your legs dude, but its own your fault for crashing. It’s like hitting a light pole and suing the city for it being there, at least as I see it.

The waiver doesn’t excuse gross negligence, put differently the person signing it believes the track owner or event organizer has taken every reasonable precaution to make the track and areas around it as safe as possible.

Not seeing much evasive action...I’m seeing a lot of taking a corner too hot, dumping, instant regret, and then dollar signs. I’m going to guess this guy’s medical expenses and disability are nowhere near 15 million, that figure is probably more aligned with the amount of capital his startup needs....accidents suck…
