The ‘97 F-150 wasn’t the Ram copy, the ‘99 Super Duty was. The F-250/F-350 was supposed to use the more rounded F-150 styling (keeping with the theme everyone did at the time of their heavier duty trucks just being beefier versions of the light duty trucks), but after the Ram was released Ford went back to the drawing…

Traditional Hot Rods (like someone mentioned below not street rods) and in a similar vein flathead engines, I4s, I6s, V8s, V12s love them all.

It’s a couple things really. Water cooled (can usually handle higher compression ratios and the heat that comes with them, higher compression = more power) Higher RPM (usually assisted by over head cams, but not always a given). The Scout engine runs up to 8300, while the 111 maybe goes to 5,000, but is basically out…

I would take the FTR over the Scout every day of the week, and I’m a cruiser guy. It’s definitely worth at least sitting on and riding both as they both offer a different experience. Only downside of the FTR is a pretty short range if I recall. 

I’ve ridden the Scout once or twice, overall I really like the bike, only a few small complaints, the seat feels really small and narrow (easy fix with aftermarket seat) and at 6' I found it just a bit cramped. That can be adjusted as well, but the seat to peg height had me a little bunched up, overall though it…

Finally something that is still modern-retro and not the super vintage throwback that Indian has been doing for years. Damn good looking bikes. Now, throw in the PowerPlus, some better suspension, and dual disks and I’d be thoroughly tempted to trade in my 15 year old Yamaha. Still looks like a fairly competitive bike…

Would daily, hard. 

Lower it and upgrade the suspension you cowards, this is the same stupid mistake Ford made with the Tremor F-150.

This is exactly the car I always knew I needed, but never knew existed. 

This is awesome and might be the first racing series I’m actually interested in following. Sadly none of those tracks are close to me, but who knows, I’ve been wanting to take a long bike trip lately, this would be a good excuse.

Dentsides are right in that weird space where crap ones are basically free, reasonable ones are cheap and super nice ones are crazy expensive. This one is nice and clean but it’s showing a little age, and it’s a 2wd, long bed, square headlight F-250. Change any one of those things (4wd F-250, or a 2wd short bed…

As much as I like this generation of F-150 they’re best to be avoided due to issues with the 5.4.

It’s a clean and cool truck, but there’s too much working against it for that price. ND. That price will buy a slightly newer one of these with O/D, and likely 4wd as well if you want it. 

It’s all a bit relative I’d say but wind is the biggie IMO. I’ve ridden a variety of bikes over the years as well and 100 miles of back roads on my Sportster was easy, 100 miles of 80mph interstate was doable but add in wind and 100 miles can get tiring. The same conditions on my Warrior 1700 however are a walk in the…

E series is still available in cutaway form, only the passenger and cargo vans were dropped after 2015.

I was super pumped about this but didn’t catch the race live because I thought you had to pay to watch? IDK, was busy at that time anyway. I caught the highlights though it looked like a ton of fun. I’m happy to see that Indian won it as well, I like Harleys well enough but I’m far more excited about the new…

I just can’t get into watching racing, as much as I want to like it it just doesn’t hold my interest. I’ll flip on some supercross or motorcycle racing once in a blue moon, but after 10 minutes or so I turn it off because I don’t know any of the racers, the action is usually pretty slow and the cameras switch views…

Because Groms (and the Kawi Z125) are bikes that take nothing seriously, there is no practical reason for these to exist, yet they do. They are silly little motorcycles made %100 for fun and fun things are good. 

9.8 hp can only pull you so fast, I imagine acceleration is improved though. 

While obviously not the same engine, this is clearly an evolution of the Honda lay flat engine that they’ve put into anything and everything since the beginning of time, I don’t recall any of those machines ever having a 5 speed so I imagine they just carried on with the 4 speed. Mentality of don’t fix what isn’t…
