That's a 'Pit' kind of gal.
I’ve never owned a bike though, but I like the idea of a fast sport bike. I was close to getting one when I lived in FL years ago but some kid I worked with had like 3 friends die in accidents over the course of a few summers. So that was that for me…
I don’t even know what these are.
But I want some just because of the label!!

Plus, the wrench has a bottle opener on the end. Every workplace needs a convenient bottle opener.
When I was a good bit younger and F1 cars were powered by engines, (and not, in my opinion, extra complicated gas, electric, momentum battery powered, electrically charged soemthing or other) I was enthralled with the Honda sport bikes that had redlines at 15,000 RPM. That reminded me of the 20,000-22,000 RPM F1 engines. So, I decided I wanted a sport bike.
Brenda Said NO! So, she said, why don’t you buy that Mustang GT you’ve been talking about for years. I said, ok, and hytailed my butt down to the Ford Dealership. I checked out the Mustangs and was more than disappointed. Plain, simple and small, but not something you are part of, just something that you were cramped in. Then, a light lit up in my head. For the money I would spend on a new, Mustang GT, I could have a late model Corvette and the C-5 Corvettes were really something during that time. So, I shopped around and purchased a 2000 C5. White with tan interior. Damn Thing was FAST! Braked unbelievably well and cornered amazingly. I loved it. However, I tried it on an auto cross course and learned that I did not have the skill to drive that much power on the edge. I could actually turn in quicker times in our son’s race prepped Miata. (because I was spending more time going forward than sliding sideways and taking out cones).
Anyway, I loved the Corvette. Brenda and I drove it to two US GP’s. It was fun having something that special. However, in the end, the Corvette tax was killing me. It needed maintenance that was beyond our budget. (Example, a brake light went out. Jsut one. The problem was the electronic sending unit, not the bulb. $450.00 for the sending unit that was smaller than my hand.)
So, reluctantly, I let her go. Have the picture of My Corvette, leaving the bank where we transferred her over to her new owner.
Corvette Tax - because it is a low production number vehicle, spare parts are not produced in great numbers, which does not reduce the price per piece. Thus, parts are very expensive.
I can’t figure out what anything is on their site except for the coffee mugs.
Friggen Brits.
I drove home every time. 2 1/2 hours from the off road park. All of my buddies trailered their trail rigs. I ran most of the trails they did. MOST, because I knew I had to drive home.
Just a nice gravel road...I'm the second silver Jeep.
I see a couple of kids that don't have much, used their imagination and creativity, and went and built something to entertain themselves. I don't think we have kids like that anymore in this country. It's amazing how a generation or two can change things.
I like your thinking
That is very dangerous. Think of the kids with Comp B allergies.
I really don’t pay much attention to the ”news” these days. (Mostly opinionated nonsense anyway, or political bull manure). And, my doctor, has cancer and is getting treatment at a world famous cancer center so I can’t turn to him to ask, so
In all seriousness, Please tell me we are not about to embark on all this covid bullshit again.
And, please pray for the young man, in his forties with a wife and two kids. He’s too good of a man to deserve cancer.
We left my FILS farm in the Texas Panhandle to drive back to Dallas. The direct route heads East from Hereford and its flat as can be. It was twilight and a bit foggy. I was at the wheel and my wife and kids were asleep.
I had a vision of coming to after a wreck and finding my wife dead next to me in the car. It jerked me out of my drowsiness and i slowed down and peered into the misty morning twilight. A minute later a jeep appeared in my lane heading right at me. I eased off the road into the ditch and the jeep roared by taking off my side view mirror. My wife awoke screaming her sight full of the jeep going by as we bounced to a stop.
So did they land a camera first?
Use a drone?
Guess the ground is frozen no dust.
