I hopped on a monster at a ducati open house last year (sat on it, didn’t ride. It wasn’t that cool of an open house). It was not the most comfortable of bikes. I can imagine it would’ve been unhappy after too long. Also applied ass to an Aprilia Tuono. That was surprisingly comfy for me. Either way, both are freaking…

I can certainly dig that. Buddy of mine rides sportbikes and sport tourers because his tail bone is a tender dainty thing. A forward lean puts weight more on his hands and chest than his booty allowing him more time on the saddle. I ride standards and dirtbikes because I can’t stand much weight on my hands (they go…

Mexico is paying for it. Let’s do both.

You are entitled to your own biased opinion. I for one will disagree. I have owned many brands, makes, models, classes and styles of motorcycles. Still own a bunch... ALL of them are enjoyable and fun to ride. The Harleys are fun. The BMWs are fun. The sportbikes are fun. The dual-sports are fun. The classic UJMs are…

This is what happens when Cosby made the designers a drink before they started.

If I saw about 2/3s of those on the street, I’d 180 out of there immediately. That’s Joker Gang murder-clown chic.

As the owner of a 2016 Indian Roadmaster I can say so far, so good. I demoed everything in its class, even 3-4 HD full dressers. The Indian was just the better bike. 10,500mi later I’m still very happy with it.

Man, with all the horses in this thread, we’re gonna need a Ranchero to round them all up.

Maybe they will have a Focus on Fiesta when Probing a Fusion of an Expedition to an Escape with an Escort.

Yes, seems weird to axe a moderately useful division rather than repurpose it to fill the niches Indian doesn’t.

They should have made very inexpensive barebones retro bikes for a very low price and marketed themselves to young West Coast urbanites. As it is they made bikes that, for the most part, are priced and marketed towards a bunch of people who are dying off economically, socially, and physically.

OK Polaris, you now have one job.

Jalopnik on Faraday Future.

I actually looked it up (what a novel idea) and the following is all that is required to pass inspection (in Texas) for any passenger car.

Oh come on now...........give me a brake.

Friction is a drag.

This is so dumb. We have an electoral college, so candidates campaign around that. If it was a popular vote the campaign trail would look dramatically different. So, we have no idea who would have won a popular vote, if that’s what mattered.

Three major questions for our well-wishing, but woefully-misguided lawmakers/lobbyists in D.C.:

First, what will making systems reliant upon this communication do about older vehicles?

Secondly, what data network will support this mass transfer of information, without fail, while not simultaneously interfering with…
