It’s wild to me, because most of the stuff I watch on YouTube is 20 minutes or longer. FortNine’s videos often come in under that mark, but I just as often watch hour-plus videos there. From my Recommended feed, it seems like the algorithm is pushing videos out towards the half hour mark for increased midroll ad slots Read more

The F850GS actually had the tank up front as well! The rear-mounted tank died with my F800GS Read more

Oh that’s interesting, I hadn’t even seen that color — I’m not sure if we’re getting it here in the States. The colors I’m aware of are:

I wouldn’t say they need snows, but I could imagine a world where the “durable and rugged” truck got deeper treads than this:

I’ve already heard songs from my college radio career in Target. I’m the oldest person to ever live, I think Read more

So long as those other providers still exist, anyway. They’re already bleeding funding, and the UX isn’t up to par with Tesla’s Superchargers.
