Marquez had a terrible time the first 6 races with a slightly modified (from last season) Honda. They had to go back to the previous design for him to start winning again. Switching factories would be even more difficult.

While they busted that sub, another 20 went by. I love the Coasties, but risking their lives and misdirecting their resources to interdict a commodity product is absurd.

As long as they reprise the manly men playing manly volley-ball in a manly non-homoerotic way scene it’ll be a smash hit.

Right up until it lifts off and starts climbing.

If the Datsun B210 Honey Bee Edition market ever goes through the roof I’m retiring early. I’ve got ‘em stacked like cord wood out back.

From the photo it appears the days of getting and keeping your HA colors as filthy as possible have passed. Barger must be doing donuts in his grave.

There’s a saying: “No matter what the season, dress for the fall.”

Although the Saddle Sore and Butt Burner rides can be done relatively safely, I personally experienced a culture in IB of pushing to and beyond the edge on IB rides that caused me to leave them to it. I went to the Jax rally/meetup one year where they started the Florida “Gator” ride with heavy thunderstorms…

Who picked the video soundtrack? It triggered an involuntary Moon-Walking reflex that’s been in remission since the late 80’s.

This is excellent news! Jalopnik is the only car-centric website I read daily, vs. 4+ bike sites (VisorDown, Motorcycledaily, etc.). Expanded bike coverage from Jalopnik will be of great interest to me, especially if it breaks away from the “inbred” nature of manufacturer/journo relationships that exist in most of…

The local YamaHonKawSuzi dealers sells these for about $40k. Seems like a decent price when you factor the performance and engineering delta against the boatbike.

Thanks for posting the trailer. I can’t wait to see this!

An interesting article, but another sad reminder that we have taken a giant leap backwards in orbital transport. As much as I admire SpaceX and their competitors, the fact is they’re flying the same spacecraft design we used in the Mercury program.

I’m a dedicated rider and I couldn’t agree more. Piss on those signs, I assume every cager is out to get me. Its as nauseating as “Baby on Board.” WTF am I supposed to do with info nugget anyway, watch for used nappies coming out the window?

Those two burly security guys are there to wrestle Perry’s mouth to the ground in case it deviates from his preprogrammed script.

They also have the most fully amortized production lines on Earth. The tooling for XL engines was paid off before either of us were born. But, this is the same company that needed a government bailout after two decades of customers standing in line to pay well over MSRP for their vehicles.

“Beach bike for sale. Custom paint.”

A perfect microcosm of Fox News and everything they stand for. Incompetent celebutards whose only familiarity with “blue collars” comes from watching the lawn maintenance people working in their yards.

The A10 is badass; no doubt. So I have to ask: do we really want to go to battle against them? That’s always a possibility when you hand off military gear to today’s allies.

People are perfectly happy to commit mass murder over a newspaper cartoon.
