Why are you comparing a cruiser-ish/muscle bike with an R1 or Street Triple RS? They serve completely different purposes. You are complaining about the weight, and yet completely ignoring that the geometry isn’t even meant to be a canyon carver or even close to something like a liter bike. It’s a muscle bike. Closer…

It continues.

Well, shit. If it’s good enough for an internet stranger’s epidemiologist’s former roommate, it’s good enough for me!

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

These guys broke the laws and should be punished accordingly, via the normal judicial process of the country. There is no need to go beyond into legal gray area and punitive actions.

In the US the government can already, and regularly does, steal property from citizens every year via asset forfeiture.

I’m pretty OK with this precedent being set. They were allowed to gather, demonstrate, and use mobile barricades (trucks) for two weeks. Then they were given several days to disperse and remove all barricades after which stragglers would be arrested and barricades seized. That sounds more than reasonable and fair to…

You can take it off some sweet fuckin’ jumps too.

I remember them being around $3k a couple years ago.  I need a 3rd vehicle that is small and modern safety equipment for a new driver.  and I thought, “Surely nobody would pay a lot of money for a Leaf with a dead battery..>”  I don’t know if anyone is paying that much, but DAMN.

Order a new wiring harness from Autosparks in the UK for around $500 - rip all of the old one out and install new one - easily done. I just got my new harness for my old Land Rover from them - figured it would be a lot easier and cleaner than trying to patch a brittle 55 year old wiring harness back together. The…

The major bits are there. From the pictures they even look to be done decently. That green is even a color I'd pick. Some crimping and pulling to have a fun weekend toy? Younger me would say ND. Older me says mmm, spaghetti! Nice price!

That’s absolutely insane. Not long ago those dead Leafs (Leaves?) were fetching $3,500. It was sort of tempting to pick one up and just use it as a local city commuter. Back then my daily commute was like four miles each way so it would have been fine. 

No Dice, after the first two paragraphs, I went to the “No Dice” button!

I really wouldn’t mind vehicles (all vehicles), getting quieter. I am glad that wave is coming.

I am reminded of Mercedes’ (I think it was her) article on the 4xe; there was a lot more nature to see when it was quiet...

Not a big deal but gasoline taxes are mostly diverted to other non-road expenses already. And damage to roads is primarily a result of temperature cycling, poor initial foundations, and heavy trucks. Making a small change to passenger vehicle weight won’t make a difference.

I’m sure there are going to be a lot of people in the comments saying things like, “That’s it, I’m out of here! I’m never reading this site again!” First, grow up. Millions of people read this site, if you want to stop, go with god.

Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.

My wife spent her 20s driving ambulances and firetrucks. She has mad skills behind the wheel.

Get replica seats made for driving and store the originals.
