I don’t wear armor, just a helmet/leather jacket/boots and jeans. It’s a level of risk I’m willing to accept.

(Correct/slap me if I’m wrong) This looks like a telelever type front suspension with on-hub steering. Or for your car guys, it’s the closest thing to a MacPherson strut suspension, with a lower control arm present.

Bimota’s been chasing the Tesi chimera for, what, twenty-five or thirty years now?

I'm on the other side; I think having something delivered to my car while I work is way awesome. More secure than just leaving the package on my doorstep. Plus what would Volvo do with my car, anyway? If someone from the manufacturer really wanted to get in / steal / joyride / whatever, they already have the keys, you…

Rugs make people CRAZY.

Speaking of Chinese luxury...

Wasn’t this basically a self-publicity stunt by Nixon and they wasted an Apollo CM and SM that could’ve been used to further extend the more practical mission life of Skylab..?

Because in 6 weeks when this happens, you’ll be the first to ask why it flew again. The time, money, and tear down of the airframe to inspect every single inch of it far exceeds the value of the aircraft.

Well folks, looks like we have a newly manufactured aircraft that’s ready for an aerospace museum!

nitro = nitromethane, the awesome liquid fuel NHRA sucks-and-blows by the gallons per run in their 10,000 HP beasts

I came here to post this. A motorcycle at speed wants to continue going straight. That kid couldn’t fuck it up if he tried.

Helmet was on backwards too. I really had no idea what I was doing.

The child doesn’t have enough leverage or strength to turn the bike... but then again people don’t know two wheeled physics. It’s counterintuitive.

Bruce had only insured the package for roughly one third of its cost to Dahm in order to save himself money on shipping and customs costs.

You do realize that the bodywork is all lightweight and that bags are certainly empty? While 160hp is no miracle these days, 170 tq is exceptional. The Rollie Free Vincent had maybe 100hp and went 150mph.

It was a pocket bike, so less than 100 lbs. I still wouldn’t want to set that much on my iPhone, but nowhere near 500 lbs.

That’s the exact face a friend of mine made when Inga, the Swedish stripper, came to my house. “She gonna use toys!!”

From a long dead company one of my favorites was the Laverda SFC1000
