    Same. I'm like, "Paul McCartney? Wasn't he in that band, The Wings?"

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    If you had no intentions of ever selling your bike, but the laws of physics and the hungry, hungry tarmac conspired to have other plans for you, let's use 30+ years. ;) Also... feeling a little personally attacked here...

    Daily sports car?

    You're not wrong. However, current market prices for used LFAs are over double their original MSRP... https://bringatrailer.com/lexus/lfa/ A true collectible, unlike those manufactured artificial scarcity models. Also... who the heck paid $1.6M for one?!?!

    Daily sports car?

    Was watching a docu on EVs and why sales are stalling lately. Part of it is that buyers can't keep up with the rate of change within the technology. When battery and charging tech becomes outdated within 2-3 years and depreciation rates of current EVs go through the floor as a result...

    Phone Scammers

    Have you looked into a whitelist app which blocks all incoming calls and text unless they're on an approved list or your contact list? Other helpful apps are spam filters which update their database constantly to check for known spam numbers as well as spam content like, "Nigeran Prince" in the...

    Dunno about that. Emissions standards in the US are state-based, not federal and the most restrictive regulation is California's CARB. Also CARB isn't the only market that has strict emissions, safety and noise regulations. Another big one is Euro 6, so even if CA lowered its standards, the...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    They must have a warehouse full of unused 645cc V-twin engines. Not to mention all the tooling from decades of pumping out SV650s and Wee-Stroms. They're marketing this as a budget-friendly sport-tourer, priced below the P-twins.

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    Found myself nodding my head at these. For me, it's not all about the motorcycle. It's more about the riding experience - performance, handling, weight, comfort... And if you are into different disciplines (on dirt, long distance travel, on the race track), to get the best riding experience...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    You must have gotten one of the very first models when it first came out in 1999! That motor's basically remained unchanged since then, but if you ever wanted to buy a new SV650 with the same motor, Suzuki has your back: https://www.cycleworld.com/bikes/suzuki-sv-7gx-first-look/ Taking a...

    Daily sports car?

    Haha, I just finished watching the Top Gear GR GT video and tacked on the end of it: at 9:45 I like the looks of it, but the best part of the outgoing LFA was the engine, especially the sound... which Lexus got rid of... I dunno. I'm not feeling the whole electric sports car thing. I feel...

    John Lennon

    I don't remember the day he died, I just remember his song, War is Over, played pretty much non-stop on the radio that Christmas. Very tragic.

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    It's called The Asian Cliff. Asians look exactly the same age until around 60, then suddenly they fall off a cliff, age-wise, and then 30 years all catch up to them overnight. This is the female version: I'm due to hit "MANOPAUSE!!!" in a couple of years...

    My favorite body-style was the E46 M3. Classic looks. Is on my Top 10 list of cars that would be in my garage if I had the means. And also a Porsche 993 Turbo and a Harley-Davidson VRSCR...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    Always amazed at how often people trade in their bikes. If you trade in your bike every 12 months or less, what is the reason? Boredom? Want to try something new? Or do you discover little irks that just make the bike unsuitable for ownership? If you finally had to sell your long-termer? What...

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    Agree with the non-race bikes, as modern mettalurgy has gotten good enough to produce valvetrains that are capable of handling high revs for the street and Ducati is trying to capture more riders downmarket with lower maintenance costs. I don't see myself letting go of my current...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    No argument here!!! 🤪 For me, I don't look at it as owning multiple motorcycles. I have a specific machine for local dirt I have a different one for faraway dirt. I have yet another one for street/track. It's like having different tools in the toolbox. Sure, you can use a screwdriver to...
