Asimov had a thing for robots and computers, that’s for dang sure. The one key element of his vision that I take exception to is the notion that automation (in his words, robots and computers) will take over the “scut work” of society freeing up workers to do more intellectual activities. And that particular vision…

The rear wheel in that image is not centered in the wheel well. 2nd image shows the other side of the car and the rear wheel looks centered in the wheel well in that pic. Even if the body alignment is fine, all the other…

Reverse: still brings a tear to my eye ... I’ve owned 3 GM cars in my lifetime, 2 of which were Oldsmobiles.

HD has it’s issues, no question about it, and the dealerships are a major part of the problem as indicated by the commentariat herein, but I love the look of this bike, and I whole-heartedly support HD’s attempts to modernize in a step-wise fashion (I despise every manufacture of anything anywhere that makes radical…
