That was my thought, that the rider really lucked out. The hood is the *only* place he could’ve hit and not gotten splattered, as well as the cheapest place to land on said jeep. The spotters sucked on this one.

I actively hope they do stop the war on drugs. It’s a hideous boondoggle that has enriched the few, empowered law enforcement far beyond what it should be, and disproportionately affects minorities in a monstrous way.

And that is some of the most tightly controlled harborage in the country. No one is going to hit that sled accidently.

This. Buddy of mine lives literally right across the street. He likes to watch when they launch stuff lime this. Much better launch this time, by the way.

I’m about, oh, ten minutes drive from the border with Newport News, including time to walk out to my car. Small world.

Coastal Virginia, where we have maybe a month or two of 100f and maybe a month or two in the 20-30'sF range and the rest is pretty good, if humid.

Course VA police hate cars, or at least that’s what jalopnik tells me.

Thread necromancy, I know, but just found a video with some more detail on the R1 stunt bike with the extended swingarm

Look, we’ve been saying this for years - violence creates terrorists.

Yes, of course. Buddy of mine has a Chevy SS as his daily and that thing is tits. Sure, this one won’t be as obsesseively well maintained as that one, but, honestly, he drives his about as hard as cops drive theirs, including more than one track day. And aside from having a bit of pricey brake and tire habit that

Because they’re easy to steal and have been basically forever. It’s a long story but I helped identify and bust up what the cops initially thought was a car theft ring specializing in 90's era chrysler minivans. Nope, 15 year old kid working by himself boosting cars. When the same thing started happening in a nearby

Volvo 240 all day long. Should’ve been higher on the list. Nothing beats an NA redblock for sheer, dogged persistence.

Pfft, for the money you save over an exocet, you can have full-on Moto GP level of protective gear, and still pocket money left over.

Or you can spend a third of the price for the kit, not buy the miata donor at all, and get a used motorcycle. All of what you mentioned, less windshield, and half the wheels.

I, too, am loving this series. Can’t get with the big KLR as it’s a bit too tall and slow for me. But when I want to get my dirt on, I have its’ little brother, a KLR250, to putter around with (not as tall, much slower).

Basically everything about your description could be applied to my 09 kawasaki versys 650, and I love it as fiercely as you do yours. i’m not sure why kawasaki made adv noises about it at one point, because, wow, it’s not, but it is a spectacular all-around motorcycle that excels in day to day riding. And that 650

“Manning decided to release to files to WikiLeaks, which worked with news organizations to decimate the damaging information to wider audiences.”

I don’t think “decimate” is the word you were wanting here.

I live not too terribly far from their HQ in the Outer Banks and have stopped by multiple times. They’ve got a swag store, plenty of old display rigs and have recently added a track with a multi-seat monster truck that takes people for rides (I haven’t done that but I’ve seen it). Good people there and he’s

Get very good ear protection for him and double up. Plugs and ear muffs both are the way to go. My youngest is touchy about big noise as well and that’s what we do for him when grandpa takes them out to Monster Jam.

They have multiple trucks, multiple cages, and the wherewithal to build new ones. While the Grave Digger trucks aren’t showroom perfect, they’re one of the biggest names in the business and have the money to do the job right.
