Hate to rain on your parade but Myanmar aka Burma as well as liberia also use the imperial system.

This is just going to be like driving a car with really aggressive engine braking, which we all know can seriously unsettle a car and just generally blows balls.

I actually sweep the garage floor before I take something apart now. Sometimes I even sweep it after I get done putting things back together too! I’m only 22 but I consider this a significant stride...

Looks like you owned one of those rare vegetarian mustangs.

Hey Ralph, meet the CRF250L. A decent used one isn’t that much more than the XL you’re talking about, and it actually doesn’t have that much more power either (I think 26hp at the wheel...). What it will do is start every time you want it to, no matter the weather, for the next 10 years with just oil changes and the…

BMW hardly has any room to talk in regards to manual gearbox shift quality. Modern 3 series manuals already leave a lot to be desired.

Well I shall now only refer to the speed of something as the rate change of distance. You’re welcome, now chill out.

Here’s the thing, closed cockpit cars like WEC are safe in rollovers because the part covering your head is actually part of the crash structure designed for a rollover impact. All of these canopy designs might be able to take some pretty hard hits from flying debris but they’re next to useless and potentially even…

At accelerations of that magnitude, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s not the acceleration, but the rate change of acceleration (jerk) that’s going to be causing the major issues. A nearly instantaneous 30g load necessary to provide these 0-60 times is very different than a loading with even the…

21yo here with a ktm 2stroke in the garage. Don’t worry we’re still out there. Cut the cost of a bike in half though and there would be a ton more millennials riding though... 

Man does this make me miss the western UP and the miles of WRC grade forest roads that come with it.

If it’s a girl then Silvia.

I’m an Ag Engineer with a great deal of farming experience and I just came to say you hit the nail right on the head. Maybe someday when we have diagnostic systems good enough to detect any potential failure and precision ag systems to keep info on every soil type or divot in a field will this make sense. I can’t see…

As sweet as the XRS version of this, it’s the other two narrower versions that are the real stars. For everyone east of the Mississippi that extra width of the XRS will just hook you on a tree that much quicker. I can’t wait to see a race prepped version in a GNCC. Maybe more people will start paying attention to that…

I ride a KTM and get what you’re saying for the most part, but don’t try to kid anyone. Stock KTM suspension is utter garbage and has been for years. Maybe the new air forks this year will change this but it’s pretty much common knowledge that you don’t buy a KTM for the suspension.

So, anyone know how one might get in on this? Asking for a friend...

Fyi there is another race at Indy. The GP of Indianapolis first ran last year and just ran a week and a half ago. I honestly found it more entertaining than the 500 normally is.

As cool and clever as this thing is, I see two problems for its use in the real world; emissions and longevity. That snowmobile engine is good for maybe 10k miles before it needs rebuilt when used in it’s original vehicle. While it may not be abused near as much in a brz when compared to a snowmobile, theres no way…
