    Motul vs Repsol synthetic?

    I think I see where this is coming from - looks like F9 carries Repsol now, and it's reasonably priced. I'd try it, I'm cheap

    Ford Is Intercepting Cop-Spec Explorers Over Engine Fire Risk

    I guess it is a little funny to me - I was always surprised by how many Explorer STs I saw in the wild. Now I will be looking at them differently

    Ford Is Intercepting Cop-Spec Explorers Over Engine Fire Risk

    "And we should also make clear that while consumer versions of the Explorer are also equipped with the exact same powertrains, they’re not being recalled." Awesome

    Motorcycle Stands

    I swear there was a discussion like a decade or more ago on this forum about these very stands, because the operation of the front stand was just as mystifying then.

    Are you looking at buying a used set or something? I don't think you can get those new anymore

    New 2025 CFMotos

    The 675SS has fully adjustable KYB forks and a preload & rebound adjustable KYB shock. Most other middleweights DON'T have this... and this one seems to be cheaper than most. Interestingly it has TPMS! The rims are weirdly narrow - 3 x 17 front, 4 x 17 rear.

    New Ducati on the way ?

    It doesn't feel like the Monster 696 was that long ago to me. It was "affordable"

    Triumph Sprint ST 955i consuming oil

    The primary one that ended the bike for me is that I strongly suspect it spun a bearing. I sold it to someone (cheaply, with full disclosure) who supposedly rebuilt it and was happy with it afterwards. I have no motorcycle mechanic recommendations of any kind - I wish I did. I suppose I have to...

    Triumph Sprint ST 955i consuming oil

    People call the 955 bulletproof? I would consider it glass-jawed (speaking as the former owner of a T595)

    Eye in the sky

    That got me even more curious. After digging around I found this: https://www.soloy.com/uploads/9/0/6/9/90692509/s2060a-wing-mount-camera-pohs.r2.uncontrolled.pdf -Max airspeed limited to 140kts (small loss from 151-161kts) -Flaps limited to 20 degrees (limited from 30-40) -Requires aileron...

    Eye in the sky

    I didn't watch the video until you mentioned the mounting. I'm neither a pilot nor an aerospace engineer, but doesn't hanging something that big on just one wing adversely affect the stall/spin characteristics of the plane?

    Will this help HD attract younger buyers??

    It is bait, absolutely. He can't be making a profit on it though... like I doubt a million views covers a crate of 7.62x51 & a rolling whatever that is. I guess it's nice to subsidize your ammo costs? Interestingly, while trying to see if anyone on the internet had already named exactly what...

    Will this help HD attract younger buyers??

    For the record I think it's pathetic that H-D was influenced in any way by this nontroversy. That said looks like somebody didn't get the memo in time.

    Can-Am re-enters motorcycle segment

    Started off like this - "Cheap suspension, cheap brakes - good, they didn't use unnecessarily flashy parts to keep costs down and it's EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS??" Also that dashboard is literally embarrassing. I would be embarrassed by it if I was riding this around

    Will this help HD attract younger buyers??

    You know, this is a bit of dragging up now-ancient history, but what kills me the most about that is consider what version of the V-Rod is most interesting for "those people". I'd say it'd be the VRSCR, right? They made that for two years! Then spent the next ten years marketing worse versions...

    New political party in Canada launched

    After reading the article... I don't hate this? They can talk the talk, at least. I doubt it will come to much though - I certainly don't think it's going to split the Conservative vote. The unpopularity of Erin O'Toole I think was a demonstration that they are not interested in "compromise"...
