Sorry but that turns into spread the other cheek, because cars can do basically whatever they want to us, and we are supposed to be “ambassadors” fuck that. Until “Oh I didn’t see him” is all you have to say to get a minor infraction for killing or seriously injuring a motorcyclist I can’t really disagree with the…

A friend of mine ended up with a broken pelvis and a couple cracked ribs from someone cutting into the HOV and wedging him into the concrete wall..

I financed my Skyline, from an American bank, in Japan.

I have 15,000 miles on a Super Duke R, I had more issues with the clutch cover (warrantied) than the rear wheel. The part has since be revised, so the hub should no longer be an issue.

180hp, 58” wheel base, 24.9* rake. (my 1290 made 156 at the rear wheel)

Its a KTM, origami is the name of the game.

I’m just peeved they dropped this RIGHT after I paid off my Super Duke R.

Yup, its easy on a 1290...you have to work to stall it.

The Dragster is already gorgeous in person, its a real show stopper.

We really need 6 flavors of Explorer? I’ve been a Triumph rider for 16 years now (I still own my so ugly its cool 2000 Speed Triple) and I have never seen more than 3-4 Explorers on a showroom floor anywhere, and that includes single line dealers.

Look at the accessories for the current Diavel, bags and windshields have always been available for the line.

Now THAT is a huge improvement over the FZ-09

Just my experience, 22 years without ABS and 2 with it, and with the most advanced ABS in the motorcycling world (thus far) its nice to have but the odds of it actually saving a crash are relatively low.

ABS doesn’t do that much for not crashing. To fast is too fast, so while ABS is a safety blanket, it saves you only from noobie mistakes (like panic clamping the front brakes) or lack of observation skills (shit on the road that you miss).

Not sure why people would tweek about the 911 going all turbo....the Caymen GT4 still has that naturally aspirated goodness, on top of being lighter, having better balance and saving about $60,000 from a GT spec 991.1.

Die

Its had 22 years thus far.

So?

28 years I’ve been riding and I’ve never been “sponged” yet. In fact never had an issue that I couldn’t ride the bike home, and I’ve ridden three bikes into 6 figure mileage, one is in my driveway right now.
