In every other area, regulations define a minimum standard. Fuel economy is the only exception where the regulation defines the average instead. Imagine if safety regs specified that cars need to have some average safety level instead of a minimum. You’d get the same problem.

Well that would be stupid and not forward thinking, which is I guess what I expect. What we would actually need is legislation in order to force the issue; otherwise every manufacturer would love to cut each others throat to be the last one selling a coal burning appliance to fools.

This is very similar to how a Rekluse autoclutch works in dirtbikes. But instead of only ramping the balls to different depths to compress clutch springs, they are curving their paths to create a twisting motion.

Full disclosure: I’m an engineer who hates to spend more than $2k for a bike. Do a review on a $2k bike and I’ll read the whole thing. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I don’t do cocaine because it’s too expensive.

This is the system in the new GSX-R1000

I know you’re kidding. But if you ever see me doing anything that seems immodest, I hope you’ll tell me. (That goes for all of you!) The most pathetic thing in the world is when people who have a minor Internet following think they deserve special treatment.

Listening to your advice is what got me on the sex offender registry.

Because I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me why these overpriced, ancient tech, behemoths have not been kicked to the curb forever?

I have no interest in Harleys so my question is who gives a fuck about that shit???

Did you find yourself gutting the stock pipes to make the bike more obnoxious than stock and also revving the engine at stop lights to be even more of a dickhead?

I’m not falling for your trick question.

Why does Harley’s 2016 bike look like a 1985 Suzuki but with a less refined engine?

Does its exhaust note still sound like, Potato...Potato...Potato...Potato...Potato...Potato...

I heard a fascinating theory today, may be an off chance, but it could be that the detonation was a standard atomic bomb (given the yield) and the official story told to the Dear Leader that it was an hydrogen bomb. How would he know the difference?
I’m sure Kim Jung Chubby has a mandate for a hydrogen bomb and one…

Potato potato potato

During the time you reviewed the bike, did all of the other Harley riders scoff at you for being out of costume (full-face helmet)?
