Speaking for myself, but “advanced riding” = track days and instruction. Coaching, video reviews, lead-follows, etc. Dinking around in a parking lot kinda loses the appeal when you’re paying the same amount as actual track time.

The Advanced courses? Yea, there’s value there. BTDT.

Not quite sure how a lugging figure 8 and a 20 mph “panic” stop helps teach you how to handle an off camber decreasing radius curve with shitty asphalt, but sure, yea, MSF.

He got a knee down. The box is checked.

Seems pretty normal actually. If I was in a job with public visibility every single day I’d probably have it cut.trimmed nearly as often. No different than shaving really.

Every guy looks stupid with a buzz cut once you get past the age of 5. Don’t do that shit.

Hot dogs.

They brought in HamNo and Juzwiak to cover that. You might want to turn your monitor away from the outside of your office if you have people that walk by.

Um, The parallel twin rotaxes that the F650/F700/F800 (not the pre-twin F650 nee G bikes) were never air cooled. They’ve always been water cooled. Motors have been generally unchanged since their introduction in 2006 with the exception of a few HP from ECU tuning.

March is generally the “yeeeea, this isn’t good” movie release month. Not quite as bad as january, but not a good sign. Given that this was moved from a Summer 2015, to a Summer 2016, to a March 2016 release date, it’s safe to say it isn’t exactly a strong flick.

I’ve had my bullitt with the standard flat shield out in humid weather, ~28 degree cold weather, 90 degrees and rain, etc, and had no fogging issues. Same with the bubble shield, been clear. Honestly been pretty impressed. The chin part isn’t that big, so there’s a lot of open space by your jaw/mouth.

BMW’s sales are spiking the last few years in the US, and the margins on their bikes are huge. Triumph wants in on that action, not the low volume, “credit challenged” crowd that has to scrimp or struggle to get financed for a 6k bike.

I’ve got two Bullitts. They don’t fog.

That’s this bike’s competition. Conveniently enough, also at 15k. That’s all you need to know.

JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKK

It’s a 15k bike, they’re not interested in “more riders”, they’re interested in the guys that will drop 15-20k on a bike without thinking twice. AKA BMW and Triumph guys.

I’d really like to see where you’re finding a paul smart for $15k that isn’t in pieces with a salvage title.

The street triple is fucking ugly, though.

Specwise, it’s pretty much head to head with the R-nine T, so not surprised that it’s the same price.

I thought they closed that place down?
