Well done.

I have such a hard time understanding how it can be safe for something that narrow to go that fast. My assumption is simply that at those speeds, most of the stability is actually coming from aerodynamics. 

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Those Nortons are pretty sweet, I just prefer the styling of my Thruxton.

It’s really interesting to me that Ducati’s “entry” bike is now a liter bike. I know it was close before, but it’s been interesting to watch them slowly slide the entry bike all the way up.

Anglophile motorcyclist of modest means you say? Might I suggest a used Thruxton R..?

These photos are incredible Kristen! Very, very well done.

Was the Echo not just a Prius without the battery..? Because I’ve definitely been living my whole-ass life under that assumption...

I love stuff like that. I used to go to a hot air balloon festival in Decatur, AL nearly every year growing up. I certainly wish they still had an air show!

I genuinely thought this was a Fancy Kristen (TM) article when I saw the title.

Fun Fact: That air base is now a place where Lockheed Martin restores/repairs C-130s. They do low flights over our Michelin research facility constantly.

Having ridden Zeros in the past (although not this one yet) this seems to be pretty much what’s going on. Torque still seems to kind of build as you increase speed.

This is the correct take. The issue isn’t when they released the car, but rather that they just gave it the top trim name for no reason...

I think the M3 analogy works well here. They have a sub-top trim car and they call it the M340i or whatever. The weird thing is that Cadillac used to...they were the V-Sports.

I was just assuming that went without saying.

Yeah ok, that’s pretty rough.

That’s part of my argument. If you’re going to have a replica of something, why not get as close as you can?

Gracias.

I’m not saying that this could never be a NP, I’m saying that it isn’t at $25k. That’s a lot of money for an ok replica that’s a C3 Vette at heart. I’d go NP at like $15-18k.

1. Your nephew did a fantastic job.
