Can't identify the language but pretty sure that is a genuine Nissan Altima

$40 million though? Are they padding that number maybe a teensy bit?

Thread giving me stuff to think about as I had two very close calls with deer this year in my car. One I dropped anchor for and one I swerved around

That might even be too generous. Judging by the state of the bike I don't trust the seller's judgment on the front wheel "maybe" needing to be replaced. Any eagle eyes know what's wrong with the seat? From here they look like the original items, but for some reason the passenger seat doesn't...

The wacky V-3 E-compressor might make a little more sense if they can carry some parts over to another motor

250K on a 19 year old Bentley is impressive though! I wonder how much they've spent keeping it on the road

Here is a reasonably well-written article with a little more info (still nothing on the terms of the sale). Also "Alex Krstic" is Alek Krstajic, a telecom executive who I guess has money burning a hole in his pocket...

Just the new CEO making their changes. Why not, I don't think they could do much damage. I think what HD enthusiasts really have to worry about is the company being taken over by private equity in 2-3 years

The primary source for this seems to be Facebook of all places (it's currently linked to from CTMP's front page). Any thoughts on this? Key names are Peter John Thomson, Chris Pfaff, and Alex Krstic (?). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1278915604278227

It comes and goes. It definitely got bad enough this year that I was considering abandoning the phone number I've had for two decades. What really pisses me off is the "legitimate" texts/calls that put no effort at all into actually appearing legit. Credit card alerts, unsolicited messages from...

I completely missed that, I think I just assumed it was a parallel twin. I am honestly shocked they are still keeping the V-twin alive

At first I saw this thread title and thought "oh no, I guess John Lennon passed away". Then I thought maybe I need a caffeine refill Here's one of my favourite songs, not by John Lennon but inspired by him. It's Korean but the gist of it is we're not in the world you asked us to imagine yet but...

If I didn't have other things to worry about right now I would be turning over my whole "collection". Normally it would be every 2-3 years. Part of it is that I just like trying different bikes, part of it is looking for my Goldilocks bike which absolutely is possible to exist.

My own vote has to go to Muppet Christmas Carol

Trading Places is absolutely a Christmas movie. Dan Aykroyd sadly pulling a pilfered salmon fillet out of his Santa beard is a burned in memory
