riding this thing across the American West feels like an extremely punk rock thing to do.

“It’s funny, everyone who hasn’t ridden a big Harley doesn’t get why folks love them. Then they ride them and they love it.”

A Goldwing is a better road bike in every conceivable way, and has been since the 70s.

At that price? Absolutely not. There are plenty of other bikes to love that are better performing in every measurable way in addition to a better riding experience - all at around half the price. Pretty much the only reason to spend the money on a Harley at this point is to impress other Harley riders.

Regarding the diesel generator points you made, in my undergrad engineering days I worked for our campus laboratory that did turbocharger research and testing. We did all sorts of automotive and aviation application turbos, but we also did a ton of the massive turbochargers for 2-stroke diesel engines for natural gas…

I didn’t write that headline. "Fascinating" is what I went with.

I’ll take it off your hands for a while. 

Operator error. It was late and cold and I was tired and tried to pack too much shit in the bag. It was a small one-inch tear in the seam, and it did not affect how the bag functioned. 

Thank you Bradley. Your moto-reviews are really the only thing I read here anymore... Not sure if that’s a good thing, but thanks for keeping the faith. (and I don’t really even ride anymore... my 919 mostly sits)

This is a bummer. I would much rather have.GT350 than a GT500. Though, like a true Jalop, as much as I love the GT350, I never bought one.

Wasting money so they can say anyone talking of defunding the police is ripping bullet proof vest off officers chest.

Get a Fiat 500 Abarth

They are “too slow”

So whats interesting is that it appears that ZF is mostly to credit for this powertrain (from a concept, obviously Jeep engineers deserve a lot of credit for implantation). The ZF8HP was designed from the outset to have the torque converter replaced with an IMG but it seems no one took them up on it until now, I…

I don’t think it’s really a bad thing tbh. It’s one of the few (comparatively) analog sports cars you can get with a manual, RWD, and a pretty powerful N/A engine. It’s still a competent sports car by modern standards, and really the only complaint I can leverage against it is that new ones are overpriced for the age…

If I have to ask Jeeves to open the door - he’s not paying attention - and it will be his last time opening the door. 

The factory will probably make a GR Corolla, which *may* actually come to the US, unlike the GR Yaris, because we don’t deserve it

Yeah, it was... not a great call on the broadcast’s part. A shot of the shoes after Tracy mentioned them would have been fine because they are admittedly very cool shoes, but the weird, slow body pan gave me the heebie jeebies.
