Kawasaki is building a 4-cylinder 250cc in Thailand, but it’s not coming here.

Did you have any problems with rear wheel hop when cornering? I tested an early model in downtown Miami. It was fun until I’d corner it hard and the swingarm lost control of the rear end. It felt like the “tuck under” move the old transverse leaf spring car suspensions did. Just before they rolled.

Yo quiero MuchoMacho.

A rusty Spitfire with no top, no passenger seat and a bungee cord to hold the door shut. Especially if there’s rust in the gas tank that can only be cleared from the fuel line with a bicycle tire pump. Especially x2 if you try to use a gas station air hose with enough pressure to fire a geyser of gas out of the open

Is that a Panhead chopper in the background of the video? It sure looks like one. I wonder if they’re cloning those too.

Are you able to determine if the Impala had a history of drug or alcohol abuse?

I can’t wrap my head around spending my hard-earned dollars on something that only exists virtually

Maybe you don’t know this yet, but I’ve always wondered how hard it is to adjust to driving on the right side of the road after learning to drive on the left side.

It seems illogical to base design and production decisions on the tiny fraction of a product that will be involved in a specific accident type. Cars with a lot of wood were easier to repair than metal, but I don’t hear anyone agitating to return to using it.

The only horns worth talking about are the ones that use live steam. The rest are pretenders.

I’ve been seeing Shinya Kimura’s custom bikes in the various M/C websites for years. As you point out, he has a very unique style. His bikes look like no others.

The cars were built for both right-hand and left-hand drive markets. The right-hand drive models didn’t need the extension.

Google “RV Build Quality Problems” before you decide. 

If it runs well, that’s a smoking deal on a classic Guzzi. They are hard to find in such original condition.

They’ve been saving the loose change they vacuumed up in returned rental cars.

I hope the next effort goes better than the Glomar Explorer expeditions. Billions of dollars spent and all they managed to bring up was pieces of an old submarine. 

The democratization of off-road capability isn’t a bad thing...:

Its easier to understand the ad when you know that young people did a lot of acid in those days.

The Inspiration crew should test Skylab astronaut claims that they were able to propel themselves across the habitat module with farts. Apparently the diet NASA provided back then caused serious gas problems. Astronauts complained that they were passing gas “300 times a day.”
