    More Harley-Davidson management changes

    I just checked, HD market cap is currently $2.55B. Polaris' market cap is $3.83B...! damn. Only two periods during the last quarter-century where their share price has dipped so low was the Dotcom bubble bust in 2000 and the GFC in 2008, where the falling tide lowered everyone's valuations...

    Anyone do the laser eye thing?

    Not sure if this is a rhetorical question about being functionally blind as it pertains to going about doing day-to-day activities, but since you worded it as "legally", then this is the definition in Canada: from Guide for Assessing Persons with Disabilities - How to determine and implement...

    Fake AI slop for viral engagement. Frame grab at 1:33 - the guy's left leg phases through the Cybertruck's front door and the door starts to fall off even before the bomb goes off. :rolleyes:

    Mosport new owners?

    Yeah just saw that too. I think the one of the names is a principal of Pfaff Porsche, amongst other car dealerships.

    Not accurate. As it pertains to the specific topic at hand - emissions standards - the federal governing body is the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Under US EPA, there is a provision called the Clean Air Act (CAA) that allows other governmental entities to set thier own emissions...

    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 When battery and charging tech becomes outdated within 2-3 years and depreciation rates of current EVs go through the floor as a result...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...

    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...
