Don't feel bad, getting a good "cold read" on a track is very hard. It's what makes the One Lap of America such an awesome event — you get to walk the track and a single warm-up/parade lap, then you have to put down your best time over the next 3 laps.

I don't see where anyone has it up on YouTube, but if you've ever seen the movie "Shaken & Stirred", following vintage racing at Spa, you will cry when you see them take the hacksaw to the rare aluminum body work on a vintage Aston Martin.

And if you don't really care about gas mileage, it's the perfect time to buy.

You know what they say...English was invented by two drunk guys with a German dictionary.

Could be a problem with the intake. Maybe a leaking carb adding fuel to the fire, or a faulty throttle position sensor (if it had one).

Siri is no match for Barry Meade.

You're probably right on there. Google FTW!

Sorry for your friend. I was thinking the same thing — that had the potential to end very tragically, especially with those trees in the landing zone...

Yes. 1000 times yes.

Half of them seem to think they're traffic enforcement on speed watch

Good news, they won't break your window. You're actually in better shape than the guy with wheel locks.

Won't someone think of the corn!

You've got serious thrill issues, my man.

And hit some people/cows/other cars/children playing in a field.

Seconded. We don't need ALL the features on ALL the models. Make a stripped down version that costs $3000 cheaper, but is basic, heck even weighs more (due to cheaper and heavier materials). Then, give the option of some of those other bits and pieces at extra cost.

Many of the "I've broken X, Y, and Z while riding" comments below are exactly why I don't ride a bike. Now, don't get me wrong — motorcycles are cool, and I love the idea and tech behind them.

Took this one near my house a few years ago. It's still there.

They Live! Another clip from that movie...

Seconded. Very well done mtnhopper1.
