Congrats on the new bike and larger displacement/more hp.

The F800 engine has a 360 degree crankshaft—the cylinders rise and fall together, but are on a different stroke—you’re going to feel the vibration in your hands less than your 310 single, but you’re still going to feel some significant vibration in the bars… Read more

I’ll freely admit, eyewitnesses claim Neely was acting aggressively. But what does aggression mean? Read more

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Americans are, generally, extremely overworked and underpaid. People are justifiably angry and frustrated about that. And instead of directing that anger and frustration at corporations and political leaders from both parties, we are directing that at each other because… Read more

The ones in Miami already had immobilizers 20 years ago, this seems like a step backwards.

I agree with this sentiment 1000%, years ago when I was younger (and perhaps a bit more reckless) I set out on a 6000M journey on a Ducati Monster, which you might recognize as NOT a touring bike, more-or-less on a whim. I started in Kansas City and headed to San Diego, up Highway 1 to Portland then back via Idaho,…

The 4-4-2 is an up-badged Cutlass S. I made the decision kind of late in the game when I was getting paint done so I still have some Cutlass badge holes in the body so it’s super obvious.

Hey, owner here! Feel free to contact me directly @rusty_speednut on Instagram or Twitter if it’s spotted. Obviously call the police too but I’ll try and respond to any leads.

Also, this car is extremely important to me, and I’m happy to discuss a reward for finding it or any information that leads to it. Thank you all… Read more
