WTF is that? I must know.

I as well thought that was an inevitability. Alas, there was almost no info about the actual bike. 

In just about every category.

Because tradition.  Changes are coming. The wheels just seem to be the slowest to evolve.

That’s not how it works.

I don’t particularly like these t-birds, and never really did. Some aspects of them are okay, but overall it’s just a train wreck. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the matte black actually improves the appearance. The whitewalls actually work with it too. The interior is horrid however. If the wrap

Why don’t you just electrify the Lexus?

Motorcycles are exactly the same amount of dangerous as cars/trucks/vans.  None of these things will actively harm you. The danger comes with the lack of protection, which can be mitigated with 1) awareness of your situation and your surroundings  2) Good defensive riding skills  3) Ability to recognize and ride

I remember going on a ride with my dad. I was following in some pretty twisty stuff. He was on a Nighthawk, and I on my CBR. He got into a corner too hot and locked up the rear brake (stupid drum brake.) He went straight off the road into some gravel and laid it down. I target fixated on him and went off, but kept it

Those people are ignorant.  Also, there are plenty of textile options to the full leathers.  I have a full set of leathers for serious riding, but wear textile otherwise.  They have strong outer shells, and many layers that you can add or take away. My pants are breathable mesh in the non-contact point, but have rain

Screw group riding. I rarely ride with more than one partner. When I do, we always split up into multiple groups of 4, staggered, set meet points along the way. That way we can safely catch up and then spread out again.

He was clearly light on gear. Big no-no.

Has nothing to do with being a wuss. Wear ATGATT.  If it’s 90° out I’m still wearing boots, riding pants, jacket, gloves, and helmet.  You only get one body and bikes don’t have crash structures. 

Fastbikes was a great rag.  Much larger format than ours, and higher quality paper and ink.  

I think it’s a very reactionary thing to do to try to brake and scrub off speed when we think we’re heading into a turn too fast. I’ve done it plenty of times, and scared the crap out of myself thinking I was too late. After riding with some pro AMA Superbike riders in the hills of KY and TN, they followed me and gave

Get your kicks on your own two feet. But you can stop right there.  It just comes of as mega-douchy to preach to people about the dangers of motorcycling. You know who understands the dangers of motorcycling more than someone who doesn’t ride? Someone who does.

Yeah, you better KNOT mention that again, cocksucker.
