Not really sure it’s 100% accurate to call Royal Enfield India’s main brand of motorcycles. Bajaj, Kinetic, and others are far more common on the astoundingly crowded roads of India. You may see one Royal Enfield Bullet for every 30 other brands.

“Tell me again what you were saying about weight distribution?”

My Porsche indie will let you bring your own parts but then the labor rate goes up a little bit.

Oh good God, no - this year has been exceptionally warm and free of snow due to the Pacific El Niño.

Using Flash, no less - that vanguard of modern web technology.

I’m also pretty sure Australia may be the Florida of the Pacific. :)

The lizard inside his skin seems to be attempting a breakout! Quick! To the lizardcopter!

Far, far, far be it from me to back Bernie up on anything, but one interpretation of what he said was, “Unfortunately many people won’t take a woman driver seriously...”

Or a manual.

Cool story, bro.

What picture? I never posted any picture. Are you replying to the right person?

Oh, I've considered it, but thankfully, I work only 15 minutes from where I live and only rarely have to sit on I66. If that distance increases...

Hey those were different times. The Soviet Union still existed. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but there you have it.
