Neutral: Takata’s punishment will come in the form of a death of a thousand paper cuts. The legal fees alone will drive them to bankruptcy, I’d imagine, much less the huge payouts involved with launching metal bits into people’s faces while driving at highway speeds.

There are a good selection of sport bikes that aren’t super sports. These bikes have more comfortable ergonomics, de-tuned engines more focused on the mid range, and cost much less. Sport bikes also weigh less and are easier to maneuver, which is very important.

If you can find one, a Yamaha FZR400 is an excellent sport bike with lots of great handling and not too much power.

From experience, any 1980s Japanese bike in the 450-750 class. Cheap to buy, reliable and easy to repair, no real worry about scratching it or dropping it, etc. And next season put it up for sale for exactly what you paid for it and get the bike you want.

Somebody better call the swag police on that pink tow truck too. Bet it’s even rolling on 22.5s.

Well yeah, he drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden in a Fury.

Should have woken him up and said
“Imma letya finish ... but Morgan Freeman was the best publicly sleeping celebrity ever!”

Glad they’re okay, but this folks, is why you don’t linger next to a semi truck or pass on the right.

Cops are always right because they have badges. Duh.

Don’t hate the messenger, hate the circumstance.

Good question AND good answers? We’re not in Gawker any more, Dorothy...

You should see them haul ass through a mall parking lot though, it’s impressive.

It’s to the point where a black Challenger can’t even drive down the street anymore without being mistaken for some kind of criminal. These are sad times we live in.

Unions are a big reason why workers don’t get fucked over as bad in the U.S. as they do in Mexico.

This is good! Way to go Tesla (and Michigan!)

• Choke knobs that attach to the ECU to make it rev higher just after you start the engine (SHIT, TRIUMPH KIND OF DID THIS TOO (idle speed control))

You’re making fun but I think this is goddamn hilarious. I’d get one if I had that flat-track inspired Sportster - the XR1200R or whatever - just to mess with people.

Let’s hope it’s better than the last time they tried Fast & Furious with motorcycles

The plural is “Traversties.”
