Probably too many cars to feel sentimental about. Sure wish they would though.

This makes me sad. The Raunchero is my favorite Roadkill car.

First, thank you for this article and these photos.Second, thank you for all the bike pics. I expect that at Lanesplitter, but am happy to see it here. Third, and most importantly, thank you for all the shots of that gorgeous Honda CB750. It’s the one vehicle I’ve owned that would be represented at a place like this,…

I am an American born and bred and I completely agree with the assessment of the pontiac firebird as presented in this article. A friend of mine recently offered me his 95 firebird formula basically for free and I said no thanks. It’s a basket case, and the only items worth much of anything to me would be the T56 and…

No. This look only works with a collarless, double-breasted leather jacket and Rammstein hair.

I would like it very much to never, ever see this photo again.

Now, the Sierra I know (from the cosworth version and the American rebadged merkur xr4ti). Sounds like vauxhall did a helluva job building that nova. I looked it up and its a dinky little shitbox. Right on, good on you for being lucky at least in no being heavily injured.

Quite lucky then. I’m not familiar with the vauxhall nova. Does it have a US equivalent? One advantage you lot have in the UK is a general trend toward smaller and lighter than the tanks and barges roaring down american roads. This means a lower incidence of comparative severity.

“I’m not even blaming the riders here, most of the time it’s not even their fault (as with my mate with the R1).”

Were you going 40mph at moment of impact, or were you travelling at that speed and hit the brakes prior to impact? There is a difference. If you were travelling at 40mph at the moment of impact, you are quite lucky, and I guarantee that you did not “barely” feel it.

And I am in no way trying to say bikes aren’t…

You have VERY skewed ideas of what happens in an accident. An actual 40mph impact in a car will ruin you. Barely feel it? Only if your drunk as fuck. And motoGP, among the fastest motorcyclists on the planet, get into wrecks regularly at speed only to walk away with bruises. Gear matters.

And, for the record, I’m an insurance adjuster, and I ride motorcycles. I can’t count how many times I’ve written estimates and written off wrecked bikes. Hell, the day I bought my most recent bike I did so after meeting a guy to write up his mangled suzuki. I’m right aware of the risks, thanks.

“So that’s 125 deaths per billion miles travelled by motorcyclists”

The expensive 70’s-80’s stuff is there because it was a barn find. I’ve got my first bike, a 78 suzuki JR50 that’s tires and cleaning away from being ridable because it’s been stored since I stopped riding it. The stuff from the 90’s isn’t on the market because it isn’t valuable enough to fix, nor valuable enough to…

Same thing here. I still had trouble with it as apparently my neck mobility is sucky, but it’s nonetheless the single best tip I’ve learned.

I love naked goldwings SO much. I’ve thought multiple times about buying some busted old goldwing just to tear off the cladding and do this.

I unstarred this post after I starred it just so I could star it again.

At 6 years old, my dad bought me my first bike, a 1978 suzuki jr50 (we still have it). I rode it all summer, ending in me hot-dogging in front of my friends and crashing into a line of steel trash cans.

I learned then and there that if you’re doing dumb shit to get everyone to watch, they will all see you wipe out.

Out…

Boooooo! I love your articles.

I’m a volvo guy, and own a few old redblocks and an early whiteblock. I gotta say that every time I’ve gotten together with my fellow bricknaughts, it’s been a good time.
