It's clearly a mass equivocation.

Volkswagen Dasher. I had one with n/a diesel and 4spd manual and goddamn that thing was fast.

Saved me having to do it. Pedantry ftw.

Yess goddammit they are. My favorite part of getting a new to me vehicle is paging through the manual cover to cover. I love some grease on the pages, maybe a little wine stain or blood from a sheet metal cut from when it was referenced mid head lamp change. A crisp new manual for your new car, trembling and…

Best of luck to you. I'm in awe of anyone who can feel relatively sane under the sort of totalitarianism I've seen on that coast. Not to be overly provincial but, fuck living anywhere east of the divide.

Please keep your horse and buggy well to the shoulder, sir.

Come to Oregon, learn to live on 45k, ride as much as you like. (Seriously, the median wage here is 34k but you seem like a skilled person)

A what now? ;)

I taped a baby rattle up under the dash on my brothers dodge last week, totally freaked him out/pissed him off.

Lmao, yasss bitches.

Cool man, I need a 55 gallon drum of Ergotamine STAT:)

Never register them, just get the title signed and have the buyer fill it in. This only works when buying private party. Problem solved. Not that I'd ever do something like that.

I can't find a 60 foot time for the D. It may in fact be faster to 60 feet than a stock first Gen Busa. I've got lots of runs at 1.5 sec to 60 feet, 9.4 quarter on stock* bike with fork cranked down. Anyone got a 60 foot for the D?

Used hayabusa, 5k, ratchet straps for the forks, 7$. People who will actually be able to launch one hard, very rare.

I kid though, it's a v twin. Ducati guy is a pedantic asshole so I'm parodying his over-seriousness. I couldn't care less. It's like Porsche guy and his insistence on a third teutonic syllable, the absence of which causes fits of sputtering indignation.

No. Ducati has always referred to them as L twins. Not that it matters to anyone unconcerned with accurate nomenclature.

Oh thank god, I'm actually reassured everything might be right with the world now. I was like, what fuck nut is making a credible point about Ducati and trellis chromoly that thinks the beloved Testastretta is a v-twin? I'm no Ducatista but it made me envision a chromed 120 inch S&S motor in a Ducati frame, which is…

Ducati are L-twins. 90 degrees. They don't make V twins.

I'm not into aviation so much but as a strictly aesthetic proposition, that plane is fuckin sexxay!

Great write up, now you know how every squid with a 160+Whp Litre bike feels. Restraint is the name of the game. Casual wrist inputs get you arested or dead. The whole thing read like every bike mag review of the original R1. Good stuff.
