    Normal car recommendation….

    So dumb and insecure. Image and self-worth all wrapped up in a vehicle. Like all those pirate cosplay dentists who razz the guys on Sportsters calling them "Girl's Bikes". Same SDE. Grow DF up.

    Normal car recommendation….

    +1 SUVs have always been about re-masculinizing the emasculinization of the mini-van. "Yes, I have to take the kids to soccer practice, but I can totally take the Rubicon Trail on the way home. Will I, though? No. But I could..." Similar to how the ADV motorcycle is the ungeekification of the...

    Get a Honda DCT. Then you can sell your left hand. Better yet, get one with radar-guided cruise control with lane assist, wheelie control, traction control, brake control, throttle control, steering control... Then you can sell the rest of your body. Bike can go for rides without you... 🤪

    We've furnished our house with second-hand furniture for pennies on the dollar. Some really nice stuff as well. There is a lot of money in the Okanagan, and apparently the richie-riches refresh their furnishings as often as they refresh their wardrobe. Good quality furniture that is maybe a...

    Very impressed with his lap times. However, beating Pecco not really a valid measuring stick as Bagnaia's suffering from some kind of crisis, whether it's in his head or in the bike. 17th in FP1. Pirro was tripping over himself a couple of races ago trying not to pass him. Bulega's a...

    You're going to find the DesertX to be much more roomier than any of those bikes!

    Agree, they've managed to keep the design language intact, which is a big positive! Detailed specs aren't out yet, they're saying Feb '26 for a May release. EICMA merely has a "preview" on display, but here is a good video that summarizes what we know so far: Some things I noticed between my...

    What's going on with this tire?

    Good point, but regardless of whether it's alignment or seized caliper or whatnot, it would be good to know for certain what caused it before slapping on another tire so it doesn't happen again. We're just looking at a picture of a tire trying to guess the root cause, when the problem might be...

    What's going on with this tire?

    Not a car tire expert, so no input on how that happened. But without knowing for sure the root cause, I'd be wary of this happening again when you put a new tire on. Might be a worth the effort and $ to get your alignment checked, toe and camber on the corner you pulled that wheel off of, just...

    Keyrings make great zipper pulls on motorcycle gear when the originals break. Very glove-friendly. Don't tell me I'm the only one...?

    Not sure how i feel

    Not a dad, but I remember what it was like being in my mid-20s. If my gf's old man pulled me aside and gave me a lecture on safety, I'd nod my head and feign respect, but I'd be rippin' wheelies in my head the entire time, all the while smiling and nodding... Agree with the posters who suggest...

    I owned a couple of Nissans back in the day. The transmissions were terrible relative to the rest of the industry. Their CVT implementation over-revs unnecessarily, had a bad delay in the acceleration and the pre-CVT autos wore badly over time (I think it was linkage or shift cable?) so shifting...

    LOL. This one is interesting, it has active aero, so the winglets actually move, varying the angle to increase downforce at lower speeds. Wonder if they operate independently to make cornering easier if the two separate winglets have different angles, like the ailerons on a real airplane...
