I love people who believe deeply that they understand the law and by invoking laws as if they are an absolute shield and the authorities will immediately go, “Well, you got us there! Have a nice day!”

Yes, but with a 28" inseam, I still need to swing a leg over the seat and stand the bike up in order to get the sidestand up. Trust me--I’ve tried this on the T700 and Africa Twin.

So what she really wants is a Dino and a second, reliable car. I admit I’m not an expert on vintage Ferraris, but I don’t imagine they are the best car for a daily driver.

Damn! Looks like I’m just going to have to pay for leg extensions if I ever want a legit ADV bike.

Aren’t press launches fun? First class treatment, hang out with your peers and industry insiders, fun pre-planned routes, zero expenses (unless the manufacturer cheaps-out on paying for after-hours drinks!), and usually a few nice parting gifts, too!

I can see you and your friends sitting there like a collegiate-age “King of the Hill” posse. “Eh-yup, look at that one run!”

Right?

I actually saw a Cybertruck last week in Bend, OR.

Really? You aren’t going to include as a fourth vehicle the Millenium Falcon or some other flying transport? You have no imagination.

Right over your head! You really need to get better at reading. I was replying to someone else, not commenting on the famous car give-away episode of “Oprah.”

I do love me some good Planelopnik! Thanks! I actually was curious about those.

1) Replacing the front rotors on a 1997 Mazda Navajo LX (aka Ford Explorer Sport). Even with the special socket, I could not get this done correctly. Fail.

Amber—you don’t need a dual-sport.

Are you going to share what it says??? :-)

You’re missing the obvious:

First, I agree about vanity plates. Also, I don’t have the extra money to spend on them so no-go.

“Well, officer, that’s what I read on Jalopnik and they are very good at fact-checking infor...OW! Why so tight! These things are hurting my wrists!!!!”

Contrary to what people say about putting the keys on the dash (or dropping them on ground for motorcycle riders),

Mercedes? I’m sending you a hug. Nobody should be subjected to such assholery.

Perhaps so, but at the end of the video you can see that the car is just demolished yet the driver was able to get out on their own before emergency services arrived. That wouldn’t have been the case in a ‘50s Buick (no offense to Buick).
