After my divorce tried a lot of cars. This included the red convertible, was a gray miata. Did not keep any for long and kept searching until I found the answer. It was a dirt bike. Go riding every Thursday.

For the 80s forget 4 wheels. Think 2 wheels. Think FZR

Looks good. Though never much cared how I look in my gear. Most looks ridiculous on the bike and worse off the bike and you just have to accept it. Would be interested to know about the strength of those buttons. Would hate for them to come open as you slide.

I have a Karmann Ghia that is converted. Has about 70hp, top speed of about 70 mph, and a range of about 60 miles. I love it. With that power it feels just a little faster than stock but not too different. Garage smells much nicer and no oil stains. Not for everyone but suits me fine.

Test drove one of these when they were new and by the time I had the money for one they were gone. Corbin was a cool place to see. Surprisingly good to drive. Accelerated nicely and handled well. Was a bit better than your average kit car, which is what you would expect out of a startup. I doubt that anyone would want…

Good for you that you have not dropped your bike. That does not mean that the majority of new riders do tend to drop them. Most of the drops also occur when stopped or stopping. Last week while riding in the dirt a new rider stopped next to me and did not realize there was a hole where there foot was and fell over…

For a first bike get something small and used. Most likely you will soon outgrow it and will drop it. Make sure you fit. For example a Rebel is great but make sure you fit between a 300 and 500. A small Ninja is a good choice. Used 250s and 300s are all over the place and loads of fun. Will outgrow them in a year. A…

If you have the room buy it! A friend bought one and I laughed in his face for the stupidity of it. Then he took me for a ride. If you do not have the money to keep it on the road it does not matter. Sit in it and make vroom vroom noises and it will still beat out almost any other car you…

You have to question the reason for having two FIATs? As the owner over the years of multiple old cars the reason comes from experience. You want one that runs, at least that is the hope. It is not that the X1/9 will constantly break down. It is more that you will want to take one off the road and do something to…

I remember reading about laws put in place against automobiles, also ones when locomotives were becoming popular, and steam ships. Folks that invested in the new technology sometimes got rich and more often lost money. Those that stayed with horse drawn buggies or sailing cargo ships went bust.

Lets see, making batteries had little to no profit margin so we sent it over to China and Korea. They spent years developing a very efficient process to squeeze fractions of a cent out of each battery they sold.

Owned a ‘52 TD, was a blast to drive. Sold it in 2004 because I was moving overseas. My father owned a ‘52 TD and sold it in ‘59 as I was on the way. Could never figure out how he could drive it as he was 6'2" with size 12 shoes. He had the same issues with his car new as I did with mine when it was 50 years old.

I remember hearing stories from my great grandfather. He rode a Harley with a sidecar and my great grandmother from Illinois to Seattle around the turn of the 20th century. He would talk about how in small towns you would have to go to pharmacies or special shops to get gas and how people told him he was stupid for…

Reminds me of a new restaurant opening in the same spot as the last one failed.

Sorry Steve I am also an enabler. While I lived in Japan I had a huge Nissan Cube due to having a new born and a friend had an Alto Works. We would trade cars when he had something larger to carry.

Two companies TVR and Marcos. Both have the same going for them as Morgan and to a higher level. Every Morgan is good looking, fun to drive, and requires above average care and feeding.

Was looking at sportsters and Indian scout as a fun around town bike. The sportster reminded me of riding my Matchless G80 without the fun or style. Loved the motor in the scout but I was in pain after riding not even an hour. This looks like a scout. I would like to know how you compare this to a scout and as…

I think this is wonderful. Had an Excelsior inline 4 of the same vintage. Was a kick in the pants. It also stunk, leaked, dripped, broke, and required parts that had to be made. Have a Zero DS electric motorcycle, and a Segway 160 for the kids. For an electric car have a converted Karmann Ghia that was featured on…

Being an engineer I prefer in situ solutions. The motor in my ‘66 Jag is perfect for keeping the underside of any car coated with an endless supply of rustproofing. Consider swapping out your inline 6 for a Jag inline 6 and you will never have to worry again.

Have lots of memories of watching new riders on two strokes experience whiskey throttle, but this brings it to a new level.
