Oh holy hell ... the US Army? Yeah, I would believe it ... using a half-million (or more!) dollar missile to knock down a fifty dollar mortar round. Jeezus wept.

The rampant paranoia over the perceived threat of credit card fraud I see in these comment sections is amazing.

Regarding #2 ... where’s the scandal? The Tucker company failed due to both external pressures and internal failures, but how is any of that a scandal?

Why do you think he’d “still be completely paralyzed”?

The ‘one shot only’ feature makes it pretty much worthless. Cops by inclination if not by training never take just one shot. Most shootings by cops you hear about, they put out half a dozen rounds at least. So with this gizmo, the cop’s first shot might not be lethal, but the 5 follow-on shots probably will be. Maybe,…

There hasn’t been a REAL Cadillac since this:

“someone stole my iPhone 6”

Note that cyclists have the right to the whole lane,

She hit him. You can’t ‘bump’ someone if <blah blah blah>

I wonder if the different terminology is regional or generational perhaps? I grew up in California in the 70’s and it was always always always called the parking brake, never “emergency” brake.

Because otherwise what’s the point?

Other commenters pointed out already that the “manufacturer” names are in fact people’s names. In most, if not all, of the listed examples, the companies were named after the people who founded them. Notice how she didn’t include the name Smith, part of the Smith & Wesson company’s name. She can’t even be consistent…

The manufacturer names Barrett, Remington, Kimber, Ruger, Wesson, Browning, Benelli and Beretta have also started to crop up as of late.

I’m curious why the author doesn’t say anything about researching who/what the Tulare Raiders were. I’d have thought that would be where you go ... if your first piece of evidence is a patch indicating a guy is a member of a motorcycle club, why not research the club and see if there are any surviving members with…

My personal definition for ‘squid’ is any immature rider who expresses their immaturity via insults and derision about other people’s choices in motorcycles and also often through reckless riding behaviors. But it is true the appellation “squid” is usually applied to immature assholes on sportbikes. Not sure if there…

So, now is your chance Harley/Bagger/Cruiser lovers.

Fair enuff ... but I think Sean’s article seems to be missing a big point: namely, not all cruisers are Harleys and not all Harleys are cruisers (e.g., Sportster and the Street babies). For example, he asks “why can’t cruisers be lighter” ... there are fucking shitloads of cruiser models that are way fucking lighter…

perfectly comfortable putting 600+ miles on my bike in a single day

new players in the market (Ducati)

Out of ~100 comments thusfar, I saw two that made a quasi-rational case for the Harley. And even those weren’t very compelling. I think that gives you the answer you’re looking for: there is no justifiable reason for buying this bike.
