Hi Andrew, I was going to test ride a Fat Boy today at the dealer, but the only one they had was already sold. I am waiting for their next shipment. But till then, from riding the Fat Boy, was it a bike you could justify paying the price tag on? Or would you be more comfortable with spending less for a metric of…

Not that it would happen, but I’d like to see McGregor fight GGG. It’s for no reason other than watching GGG removing half the teeth in Conor’s mouth en route to a Round 1 KO, would put an end to this endless hot-fuckin’-takin’ from the idiots online (not Burneko!) about how he can save boxing from itself or be a…

I’m always amazed IndyCar doesn’t get better turnouts more generally speaking. It’s the best series in America currently IMO. Admittedly though there’s not a lot of competition for that mantle left. Undecided but may shoot to Watkins Glen for next Sunday’s race as it should be a good race at a wonderful circuit.

Dan, I admit I thought maybe Floyd would go for a KO in the first round even though I know it isn’t how he fights. My rationale was purely that he might want to just make it quick to get out of there with the money. Not that I was going to watch this to find out, but I was surprised waking up this morning to see it…

Agreed, but when this much money is at stake, I’m of the opinion it can lead to unsavory things happening. I do think Mayweather put himself between a rock and a hard place with this fight because of the legacy implications of letting a non-boxer run around for multiple rounds with him. I’m really hoping that he puts…

The only problem with keeping the fight close is that it may look way too obvious (leaning towards that if it were to happen) because it’s difficult to do when fighting a non-boxer. If Mayweather were fighting an actual boxer, I think it would be far easier to keep it “close” if need be for a rematch. Conor though? I…

Great write-up as usual Dan.

Geez, you must be so much fun at parties.

Here’s a wild conspiracy theory thought: Renault tells McLaren if they want the engine, they want Alonso back at Enstone to drive for Renault again and McLaren has to take Kubica on for a year to see what he can do in the real world race conditions. Plus the engine cost will be completely subsidized. If you were…

When I was still lifting heavily before I turned into a bum and quit, I was a huge fan of Rich Piana. I know he got ripped by a lot of people on various online forums, but what made him so endearing was his honesty no matter how much you agreed or disagreed with it. The reality of watching Rich over the years through…

Their efforts speak for themselves....terrible. Outside of a brief glimmer of possibility with the BAR-Honda team, they have done absolutely fuck-all dating back to 1997 if you include the Mugen engines. Well they had their brief moment in 1999 when Frentzen won 2 races and finished 3rd in the championship with the…

The costs to develop an in-house engine for the current F1 regulations are astronomical. Keep in mind even for their road cars, McLaren does not build engines in-house. Ricardo builds the engines. Mercedes also spent around $1.5 billion over 3 years just to build their V6 hybrid for 2014, and that doesn’t include…

The BMW V10 was better.

I wouldn’t apportion blame to McLaren. I would apportion some blame to Ron Dennis for this deal. It should have been obvious to him (since it was obvious to anyone with eyes) at Melbourne 2014 that the Mercedes engine advantage was insurmountable. Allowing in-season development was a necessity to try and get some kind…

I really like this...the front end invokes a bit of the Countach and the Diablo.

I’m shocked, shocked to find that persecution is going on in here!

Sorry Alanis, he was 100% correct.

I’m not worthy.

While I like looking at Ferrari’s in person when I attend car shows, I can’t see myself ever wanting to own one. Money aside, I hate Ferrari culture and the entire premise of the company selecting who is worthy of purchasing their vehicles speaks to the increasing class divide in not just America, but globally. Over…

Actually drama queen was not ad hominem since I wasn’t discrediting anything you said based on that. I just called you a drama queen because you are. Your arguments are hollow and vapid. Motor racing should be dangerous because as I’ve already stated numerous times on this blog, making it safer actually resulted in a…
