    Asphalt is not your friend today

    I don't want to brag but my TL1000S has an unusually big meaty foot on the kickstand The 919 does not and is desperate to punch through anything softer than concrete when it's more than fifteen degrees out

    DOT sticker?

    It does have to be marked somewhere to be legal, but I am 99% sure that it does have a marking. Keep looking

    Always a bit funny when the pictures they use in the ad are the pictures they took the day they bought it

    Portable Tire Inflators

    FWIW I have a decent little lithium-ion inflator that works reasonably well for cars and motorcycles. It can top up a light duty truck tire but not fill it, and for larger trucks it is useless. It works well enough that I am convinced that it is possible to build a good quality combo jump...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    As you've described it I would also hate that, but on my car (Cadillac ATS) the brakes give up instantly.

    Guy filtering down the 400 SB in a Victory something or other - on the one hand, I get it. On the other hand, yikes

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    Speaking of manuals, check out this bad boy. If I needed to replace my car today I would have already bought it https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2021756338734561

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I will say that NA Miatas make absolutely piss poor winter cars in every way. I love Miatas, but the early ones are not up to winter

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I don't really buy into the manual as anti-theft thing... it's really not that hard to drive stick well enough to get around town. All three of my siblings can drive stick and so can my father I'm sure that somebody that can figure out how to break into and "hot-wire" (I don't necessarily...

    Should Ontario ban outlaw biker club names, logos in public

    Just like most "for the public good" Canadian legislation, evaluating the idea on its merit is almost pointless because it nearly always falls flat on its execution. Bill 13 was no exception, as it relies on a comical amount of discretionary power. Excerpt: "No one may expose to public view...

    I'm not complaining about it, just pointing it out in case there is something to worry about

    Why, why, why,

    Automotive SCS are not perfect and do still require manual intervention, but I would be very happy with that level of functionality on a bike
