As I’ve said in the other article about the Veloster N and other fun cars starting to drop out of the market: This is the end-result of modern day Extreme Bean Counting. (long-winded post ahead) Read more

And the name for the planet in Metroid for the NES was SR388, named after the designers love of the Yamaha SR400, which actually had a 388cc engine at the time.
I don’t get why people don’t love thumpers. Single cylinder bikes offer the most accessible torque, they’re dead simple to maintain (okay, KTM) and they make nice noises.
Kenny Roberts Sr, three time 500cc World Champion has a couple of the SRX 600
My wife and I own his-and-hers SRX600s. A couple years ago the fella who runs the FB fan club arranged to have the designer Ichijo-san come out and give a lecture here in the Bay Area, followed by a SRX group ride around the bay.

This one is about 17 miles, but the half closer to I-10… Read more
Beautiful 318ti you have there!
I even recommend driving back roads in the city outside of rush hours. That way I’m not as stressed out when I arrive. Case in point when I was assigned a project in Arlington, TX. I gave up on trying to commute on TX360 due to its nerve-wracking merge lanes and drove down Ballpark/Stadium or Collins (when the… Read more
