agreed. stretching tires and reducing your suspension to near useless levels is generally a bad thing. couldnt agree more in fact. but i don’t really know if this is ‘illegal’ in QC. the ticket doesn’t refer to any statutes that have been violated, only a vague “made mods that reduced safety” or something. so it might…

my build blog is thirstforspeed.blogspot.ca

valid points, but what i am saying is based on the paint/cleanliness/etc this guy's car seems like it had a lot of effort put into it. So, if it did, it wouldnt be as much of a hazard as another car that maybe didnt put as much effort into the build and is just running on chopped springs. that car would be more of a…

basically my point is that the best bike is low capacity so you don't kill yourself, cheap to run, and one that you know every inch of. so, usually a UJM

This. it was/is a Virago XV500. Built by me.

i wont defend stance, but i think the efforts the police in this situation are a little overkill.
also, this guy seems to be one of the ‘better’ stancebros, since the car is pretty clean. It looks like it is a static drop (since they needed the lumber to get him onto the flatbed) and it looks like eh put a lot of…

so excite! much roost. very wow.

We’ve got monopoly money burning holes in our pockets and we need to spend it NOW!!!! :D

fair enough. but if honda prices it to compete with KTM or BMW GS lines like the rumor, it will probably be a little more expensive, and heavier so that it can handle more panniers, etc. for those that want a ‘dirtbike for the road’, you would be well suited with this.
in the end, we need more info/specs out of honda…

with a heavy heart, i agree

thats a pretty decent set up. It would compete with Honda’s new ‘Africa twin’ thats supposedly coming out at some point. I’m sure you could spec one of these out for way less than the new africa twin and still be able to keep up!

based on this info (2012 census - traffic accidents) and this info (miles travelled in 2012) we can sorta predict the accident rate per million miles of travel per year.
5,505,000 accidents per year / 2,950,000,000,000 miles driven per year= 1.86 accidents/million miles.
(national average of 3.2 accidents per year in…

its always the black challengers getting pulled over eh. not to stereotype or anything.

I am so excited to see this perform. Hopefully they get it right. Remember when the diesels debuted at LeMans, and the reaction and spectacle of that? I hope this attains that same level of success, if only to incent others to try to think outside the box.
Also, bring back the Panoz racers

the current issues with unions is largely their own making. its only been the last 30 yrs or so that they have been doing harm, before that (i.e. when the big 3 were still too big to care) it wasnt as much of an issue. and even then, a lot of the ‘harm’ they have been doing is still balanced out with the stability of…

not in Detroit per se, but Detroit is a bigger issue in itself. lots of cities in North America have thrived and are thriving because of manufacturing jobs, whether its union or non-union. there are good and bad about both, but you can’t deny that the unions have helped millions of families have comfortable…

My personal CL/Kijiji rules:
- transactions only in busy places like mall parking lots/grocery store lots and only when it’s busy
- cash locked in the car till the deal is sealed
- i text my wife the plate of the persons car and my location when i meet the seller
- consistent text updates so if I don’t reply within 30…

But they are also the reason why there are strong middle class jobs in the places that build cars, so its not all bad. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Car prices won’t drop like a stone if they weren’t built by union labour.

Neutral: So this company, who needed to be bailed out partially because of their really really poor decisions, and then had to be babysat because of additional really really poor decisions on an unrelated matter, shouldn’t be babysat until they can prove that they are not going to make more really really poor…
