That press photo is diabolical, that rider must be less than five feet tall. Someone buy a bike at auction for a "project" and is now having second thoughts?

I think I might have met her on a GTAM group ride 20 years ago... rest in peace.

I really hope that extra mirror is screwed on because the glass in the original one is broken

So I'm not gonna say that video is or is not AI, but the ET9 does have fully active suspension. And it is in fact a direct evolution of the Bose system. https://www.motortrend.com/news/bose-active-suspension-lives-as-electrohydraulic-skyride-on-nio-et9

One more vintage bike, 1980 CB750F $2400. It's not ready to ride but it's not exactly a basket case either. Complete except for mirrors. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1356450939423938

The Magna is also kinda of ugly but in a less offensive way... that commercial is rad though, we could use more of those

The GS1150s are all ugly as sin. Sorry not sorry

The CB1100F was cooler than the CB900F and nobody will ever convince me otherwise That said it is very unlikely I will ever pay collector prices for one. There was a tiny brief window in time where you could buy them for cheap, that time has passed

This reminds me I saw a CB1100F come up for sale somewhere this month. It doesn't appear to be listed anymore, so I guess they got what they were asking (wasn't cheap)

I dunno what to say about that other than that's stupid.

Sooooo my dad's Silverado 1500 6.0 L76 suddenly became very unhappy. Possible AFM failure, we are evaluating his options, but considering fixing it myself. I know there have been recent discussions for moto machinists but I am looking for recommendations for folks who do auto cylinder heads that...

I dunno, I'd be haggling that one down

Importing experiences vary wildly depending on who you're dealing with on the other side of the counter that day

A pretty simple shape but still by far the coolest thing VW has ever made

Ok actually I want some explanation as this is something I am absolutely not familiar with. Are you intended to be able to switch between high and low sprocket ratios? If so how do you manage the extra slack?
