Using your phone as a key.

There is a big difference between towing something that is free to move other than wind and rolling resistance and yanking something that is stuck out of the mud.

“Two wheels down” is an explanation which was thought up and circulated only recently (past 10 years, maybe)?

The motorcycle wave is just that, a wave. Nothing more, some riders happen to use two fingers and some happen to do it with the hand low. Then some random saw this and decided to create an explanation for it…

I get more of the low two finger wave from Harleys than any other bike. I’ve never seen it as a “peace sign,” just two casual fingers, as if the rest of your hand was too lazy to get them all out.   It’s  similar to a Jeep wave, but pointed down or to the side.

I’ve been a motorcyclist for Decades. I’m 50, and I’ve been rolling on 2 wheels since I was 15.
I’ve ridden cross country many, many times.
I’ve ridden in and been waved at in nearly every state, plus 3 Provinces.

700lb less than stock? Were there a few bodies in the trunk? Also, all this money spent to “reimagine” the car - couldn’t they have imagined a gas strut to hold the hood open instead of jamming grandpa’s cane in there?

I bought and installed the Packtalk Slim a few years ago and I have no complaints whatsoever with it. I’m sure the Edge is an improved model, but until and unless there’s a major breakthrough in comms or the Slim stops working I couldn’t justify getting the latest and greatest.

ALWAYS wear earplugs. Always.

Invest in earplugs, and never get on a motorcycle without them. Even the quietest helmets are still loud enough at speed to damage your hearing. Wearing earplugs doesn’t block you hearing cars, people talking, etc etc etc, but it does filter out wind and road noise, and allows the stuff coming in from that Cardo to be…

Opposite take. Vehicles over 6k should need a special license.

Weight creep is so bad a 2 door coupe can be over 4k. It needs to stop.

I work 34 miles from home and on the days I go into the Office I ride my 2003 FZ1 hat has 134k miles on it. When traffic is light I can cruise at 85mph each way and 40ish when lane splitting (depending on traffic flow).

Rolling Coal. This is just ignorant. Nobody wants to breathe in a cloud of diesel smoke.

They have some in Leigh, just to the west of Manchester. It’s... not amazing. I think most people wanted them to extend the Manchester Metrolink tram system out to Leigh instead, especially as the guided busway uses an old rail alignment anyway. 

Narrow UK roads where the line up the middle is probably where even a small car needs to put its wheels to keep out of the verge, or you need to cross the line to avoid a massive fuck off pothole because the council cunts couldn’t be arsed fixing the road, so the lane assistance is constantly fighting with you while…

Peak ‘murica would involve running both events at the same time and the outfielders have to slip between cars to go after a fly-ball.

Yawn. Call me when they’re having a NASCAR race and a baseball game at the same time. Imagine a home run knocking Kyle Busch out of the race, or Denny Hamlin losing control, crashing into the outfield, and running over Manny Machado.

“I think more and more that the internet was a mistake”  - the internet in itself isn’t the mistake.  Putting it on phones was.  Prior to smartphones you actually had to sit at a computer....which sifted out a good 70% of the chuckleheads currently online.

I would argue the car chase in Ronin was better IMO, BUT the French Connection get points because it was filmed on a LIVE street.

Never start a car project after 4:00 PM.

Sigh.
