From what I’ve read from dear, departed writers nobody likes making slideshows but the (awful, incompetent, actively hostile) management has made it a mandate to make them. Honestly, I’m kind of glad that the mandatory daily slideshow is something so low-effort and pointless - can easily get the same content reading… Read more

Royal Enfield has IMO the best value proposition for daily driving type motorcycles. I prefer my feet up underneath me a bit, and not a fan of the cafe style so I would choose the INT650. That bike at this price would be NP for me, so I guess that’s close enough. Read more

If you read the morning comments, you’ll get an idea.  Read more

Ray Charles could’ve seen this coming. Read more

The real lede is that 3,365 people handed over their driver’s license and credit card information and then proceeded to steal a car. /s

I do think there are some sanctions that are going to have an affect on the wealthy - frozen bank accounts and increased difficulty transferring funds. Naturally, they have money pretty much everywhere and a ton of it is going to be easy to convert into liquid assets. But, the fewer resources available to oligarchs is… Read more

It was sad to see Rory head out of here on such a down note. Hopefully they can find and get a new EIC on board pretty quickly, and they can find someone who is really passionate to revive things around here.  Read more

Raph do us a favor and free more weird bikes, or whatever else is chained to street signs in NYC. Read more

Nice price. It’s lovely to see someone not gouging people on the price of a used vehicle, right now.  Read more

I watched a British documentary about Colonization, where a Brit went around the world and talked about the complexity of Colonization. Well done documentary.

That’s because they are designed by ex-Triumph designers - me included (until I retired). Oh, and I can assure you that the engine is very much a stressed member - the twin downtubes are there for the retro look.

Why am I surprised you have no idea how strikes work? Read more

Me too... I hated it! Haha.  Read more

So, I looked it up. New ones range between $6199 and $6999, depending on paint color. So this is at least 15% off MSRP. Sort of like a $7k discount for a 3 year old $40k car with something like 10k miles on it (I’ve been told that motorcycle miles count as 10 car miles). Read more

It felt like a lot longer than just a week. I didn’t even have the time to grow my beard out, à la David Letterman. Read more

Welcome back, and congrats on your union win. #SolidarityForever.

Oh Hells Yes. I tried migrating towards TheDrive but while their war coverage is excellent, the rest just doesn’t seem quite right. Read more

Welcome back Rob and Jalopnik! Read more

Did you read the installment (part 10 in a multiple installment series), or did you kinda half-assedly skim it? If you read it, and still fail to grasp why Kettering is an important part of that history (of gasoline), I’m gonna have to recommend that you re-take grammar school.

I know, reading is hard enough, what with… Read more

Jamie, thanks again for this wonderful series. It is very enlightening, even though the affects are anything but uplifting. I have never knew the majority of what you have written even though I was born in the city named after Kettering. Read more
