    You have to figure that very few landlords are going to be cool with you drilling into the side of their property to secure the box.

    In the upper rev range, it sounds like a Dalek.

    Bonerworthy.

    Small bikes like this are the absolute tits on a racetrack.

    Sigh. Get this kid a helmet.

    John Terry for mayor!

    So good.

    I've been riding for nearly two decades, and, out of all the bikes in my garage, only one is still street-legal. I keep the old 748 around because it's pretty, and I put about 2-300 miles on it a year. Living in a metro area, I just can't justify the risk involved in commuting on it.

    Anytime something like this happens on the racetracks, *most* racers think something along the lines of "hmmm, that feels a little different," then go about their business. It's not until they see the video or hear about it in the pits that they realize how bad it *could* have been.

    If nothing else, you have to admire their "fuck it, let's bowl" attitude. I'm almost certain that every bit of the Equus's (varied amounts of) success are because it downplays the connection to Hyundai as much as possible.

    Of course he's scared of the QB at Florida; do you know what kind of rap sheet you need to even get CONSIDERED for the job?!

    "the greatest player the league has ever seen in one fell swoop"

    In that Honda, more than any other manufacturer, uses GP as a place to test tech, this would be right up their alley, especially if it meant kicking sand in Valentino's face.

    Another thing to consider (if only for my marketing-department-sympathetic brain): honestly, what cool names are left? We've nearly exhausted the supply of engaging, dynamic names, and have started either repurposing things that almost sound what we're going for (Equus) or making shit up (VehiCross). Bring on the

    That bear's intelligence is equal to the optimistic dumbassery of the dude lying on the ground next to the grizzly.

    It's a metro area with over 6 million people. There's going to be traffic.

    With apologies to the AMG V12 and Lemmy, nothing sounds better than a big desmo valve twin.
