*slow clap*

I still have my first bike, actually. 1978 suzuki jr50 dirt bike that my dad bought new for me. I even started it up a couple year ago. We saved it for my kids, but their mom lost her mind when I talked about getting it running for them. They’re all way too big to ride it now. I’m thinking about selling it.

I’m mean…

No, you didn’t make the right choice, you flint-hearted bum. That bike was beautiful. It was... You’re mean. Cold. You could’ve gotten rid of one of those rusty jeeps (not the old one, the other ones. You’re cold, not insane.) and kept that beautiful GS.

Yes, this. Thank you. I’m actually considering heading out this year for my first group ride ever (IPCRC because I have a PC800), and one of the reasons is they explicitly say their rides are for people who own PC800's, who used to own PC800's, or are friends with people who own PC800's. I like that sort of inclusive…

Dr Nerdlove, super happy that you suggested a look into non-monogamy in the first letter. It is a possible option, and may rock hard for her.

A number of states allow lavender for use with hearses and funeral procession cars.

Aside from that, and I’m totes fine with identifying autonomobiles with death cars, I see no issues with this plan.

Thank you. I was going to say this. Ryan Lewis is crazy good.

I would daily that. I have much love for boxy 80's Japanese SUV’s. My 87 Trooper II 2dr may have been mechanically crap and underpowered, but I loved it.

Many, many years ago, late 91 or so, some friends and I did a roadtrip that was 21 hours in length. We rented a van to carry everyone, but we were a pile of college students and only two of us (not including me) were old enough to drive the van (contract said 25 I think). One of our drivers was useless and crapped out…

I’ve handled claims for similar incidents as Did_it_for_the_Alliance is describing. It is definitely an at-fault loss, your insurance company will pay out, and your rates will increase.

I am cautiously intrigued.

It’s shocking how poor the local examples have been. I kick myself for not grabbing one in the 90's when freaking Roses carried them.

Truly sorry to hear this. Lord and Lady March seem like awesome people. Glad they made it out healthy.

For the first time in my life, I ever-so-slightly regret being an only child. You’re a fucking awesome brother, David Tracy.

There’s nothing I *need* to know because I can’t afford one, but there’s all sorts of things I *want* to know because there is future in this.

1) A track on which to run whatever it is I buy. Buy, build, go into deep lease agreements with, etc. Gotta have a solid track.

2) Something reasonably fun, sleeperish, and appropriate as a daily. For me, it has the word “Polestar” attached.

An to speak to you specifically, David, I dig your articles. Keep up the good work.

This article is perfectly attuned to my interests at the moment. Thank you. I’m planning a long tour summer of next year with some friends, and rain is a concern.

Also really digging on you guys putting links to the gear you’re using and/or referencing. Dead handy.
