Gross purple dirt and iron filings. Don’t forget the iron filings. The only good part of a beet sticks out of the ground. The rest of it is hog feed.

If you are truly just starting, a jacket, jeans, boots, gloves, & helmet are the minimum. Get those and then get yourself to an MSF course. You can get the course w/o the helmet - they have loaners. http://www.msf-usa.org/ Enjoy!

You’re weird, sir.

You can enjoy some old ones. https://www.youtube.com/results?filter…

MotoGP.com via $ubscription only, I'm afraid.

...and the lack of compression braking. I love the way 2 strokes do that.

Let me answer your question with another one: Why did Ronald Reagan kick off his 1st campaign in Philadelphia Mississippi?

At Brno last year 16 bikes finished in the first 1.9 seconds, and 0.9 covered the first 10 of those. If a race where 1.9 off the lead in a 45 minute race isn't even in the points doesn't thrill you, try watching LSR records. They go really fast.

145mph on a bike that weighs maybe 170# (326# bike and rider minimum) is not slow, and for me at least, I'd rather watch an exciting race on whatever than a parade of rocketships.

Moto 3 is usually the best. There were races last season where the top 10 or more riders finished within a second.

trādər/noun: traitor; plural noun: traitors - a person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc.

How you fit on a bike is very personal, but I find the 'sit up and beg' position like this bike, the Monster and the other examples to be much much more comfortable than the supposedly comfortable cruiser style seating. 300 mile days easy vs 30 miles and done. YMMV, but these look about a millionth as stupid to me as…

Looks may be deceiving. The 'sit up and beg' riding position is way more comfortable than the 'human parachute' riding position you get from a cruiser. And no, I wouldn't buy a Traitor brand anything either.

150 years ago today. Still not over it.

So, a pretty good copy of the Lotus then. They should stick to making cars.

Easy questions. "I borrowed it from my friend" whose name I was sure to read as I fumbled the documents out of the glovebox.

Your car is stolen. You don't know it yet, because as a sane person, you weren't watching it on webcam while you were at work/shopping/sleeping in bed. The car thief is pulled over for being the sort of asshole who steals cars. Cop sez, "DL, Reg, ins. card please." Thief can't produce. Questions follow. Bad things…

Nope. DL, car and bike papers, 4 cards. That's it. And any thief who steals my car won't have the papers.
