Stick shift, problem solved

On the plus side with the low end torque, no clutch, and low weight these are easier to handle in emergency situations.

Got my kids a couple of Sur Rons to learn on. Much more fun then expected. On the Sur Ron website they have a video on how to register it in CA as a moped/scooter. Got them plated for $25.

Buy it because you will not be able to come up with a good enough reason not too. They are at the perfect intersection of being robust enough not to need to be worked on after every drive and simple enough that when you do work on them it is easy.

Does it need a good connection to the phone and internet at the time of impact? Plenty of us ride where we have a sat com because there is no signal. Also seen a few damaged cell phones because of simple tip overs in the middle of a ride. Would be silly to have a safety device not work if your phone was damaged,…

Sorry to hear about your relative. I am going through the same thing for myself. My last ride is a ’66 Jag 3.8 S Type and the kind Jalops helped me decide on it. First thing I would do is to talk to the doctor and find out how she will degrade. Will she become weak, dizzy, in pain, or be fine up to the last few weeks?…

I remember wondering about how the BMW crowd would feel when the GS came out. My buddies and I were into road racing, MX, desert riding, and trials. We had every type of bike and a few had BMWs. Who was the target customer for the GS? No Bimwa rider we knew was a target. Who would want a heavy, wide, dirt bike with a…

Bought my kids a Segway version of the Sur ron. Wanted to see if they would be interesting in trail riding with me. Have a CB500X RR. My kids loved it. This has led my daughter who is 14 and 4'8", to stick with the Segway. My son who is 12 and 5'8" has moved onto a zero FX. I still have the CB and steal the FX for…

Thanks Toni and Ron, showed the artical to my 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son. Just got the book and looked it over with them. They are up for giving it a try. We have our next project. Now the tough part is agreeing on the car to use. 

The perfect car for the job. I loved my TR3s. They are a blast to drive and so ugly that you never worry about them. No reason to keep them stock. I would never do this to my ‘66 Jag type S even if it made it a better car. I love the look and sound of the motor too much.

I will admit to buying for looks. Have a yellow Duc 748. I could never ride it to its limits. After 100 miles I ache in places I didn’t know existed. I bought it because it is so beautiful and sounds amazing. No one has ever said I made a bad choice. Rules should be the same for a cruiser

I love it. Ride a Ducati 748, Honda CB500X RR, Harley 48. All are fun and all ride very differently. One of my all time favorite bikes was a ‘56 Matchless G80. It is not only about looks it is about feel and what you do with it. One day it is a Mountain Bike day and the other is a beach cruiser day.

Have a ‘66 Jag and a Toyota. Reliable cars need to be reliable so fun cars can be fun. 

Had a gen2 Cube in Japan. Surprisingly roomy. Was able to have me, wife, both my parents and daughter in a child seat in the car with my parents luggage. Also was fun to drive and sort of peppy. When we moved to the states i test drove a gen3. It was terrible. This was all due to the CVT. It had no pep, was loud, and…

One of my favorite bike I ever owned was a 56 G80 Matchless. It forced me to slow down and enjoy the day out riding.

God I love the look of this thing and want it badly. I just cannot picture where my body parts will be moved to when I sit on that seat but it is expected to be painful. 

Honda should have taken the lesson from the Vincent Black Prince. Riders don’t want a built in look for the most part.

Damn, I forgot how good a normally aspirated inline 6 sounds when it is pissed off.

Doran, you hit on something that has been bothering me how to explain. Had a Zero for a while. Have had a number of different bikes over the years and the Zero gave something special.

Forget this, after I saw the e dune buggy that is all I want
