I just thought the contrast was funny. That trike will do 180. The bike might do 18.

2018-06-30 01:21:58 UTC  

Haha nice work @Der Seeteufel - SD !!

2018-06-30 01:23:16 UTC  

I'd say you could probably push 20-25mph

2018-06-30 01:26:40 UTC  

No thanks. I dumped it doing about 2mph. The handle bars came loose on me. I swear they were tight when I started. Luckily the bike fell on me and I didn't even scratch the paint I got a little bit of a scratch though. Check out the medical channel.

2018-06-30 01:30:00 UTC  

Oooof harsh..

2018-06-30 01:31:42 UTC  

Yeah I'm fine honestly I was more worried about the bike. My boss let me ride it, since I cleaned it all up for him but it's his dad's so it has sentimental value.

2018-06-30 01:32:25 UTC  

Damn that's quite a gash man!

2018-06-30 01:38:06 UTC  

Eh.. I've had worse. Not cuts, but I've broken 7 bones (5 at once) and have been burned pretty badly once. I'll be fine.

2018-06-30 14:25:52 UTC  

That car is missing a front wheel.

2018-06-30 23:38:06 UTC  

@JesseJames Do you think this patch is too close to the sidewall? Do I need a new tire?

I would replace it forsure. If you need to run it until Monday put it on the back. Plugs are only for temporary use anyway. But when it is that close to the sidewall a patch won’t stay anyway.

2018-06-30 23:51:17 UTC  

Sheiiiit

2018-07-01 00:08:28 UTC  

Sorry bro.

2018-07-01 21:01:54 UTC  

That's a blowout in the making.

2018-07-01 21:02:19 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD That Whizzer looks awesome!

2018-07-04 22:17:56 UTC  

Can anyone tell me if a 600cc cruiser (Honda Shadow) has sufficient power to carry a passenger and still maintain highway speeds (80+mph)?

2018-07-04 22:31:33 UTC  

<@&435155863217504256> ^^^

2018-07-04 22:32:26 UTC  

Why? Is your passenger 400lbs?

2018-07-04 23:32:07 UTC  

How much combined weight? What year is it? You can re hear anything to run lower rpms at higher speeds just by replacing one or two sprockets and taking links out of a chain.

2018-07-04 23:35:38 UTC  

Haha no she's not even close to 400lbs. Just looking to get another bike and don't want to waste my time getting a 600 if I'm going to regret it later. Looking at 750's on up.

2018-07-04 23:36:23 UTC  

Combined weight would be about 325lbs.

2018-07-04 23:39:58 UTC  

I would recommend a larger cc bike for riding 2 up. I would also recommend avoiding interstates whenever possible for safer more fun alternatives of highways.

2018-07-04 23:40:15 UTC  

I recommend one of those for 2+

2018-07-04 23:51:05 UTC  

Yeah I avoid highways. Prefer riding through the mountains or back country roads.

2018-07-05 00:51:50 UTC  

I have a 390 KTM, and I can easily acheive highway speeds with a passenger. I don't like it, because I can't speed out of dangerous situations, but it can be done

2018-07-05 01:09:25 UTC  

There is a happy medium for sure.

2018-07-05 04:50:03 UTC  

Based @John O - I'm actually getting a 125 LOL, you guys are all way ahead of me.

2018-07-09 22:39:07 UTC  

Self-driving 18 wheelers are now on the road in testing mode! Here’s one from Embark:

Great

2018-07-11 16:30:36 UTC  
2018-07-11 18:01:00 UTC  

That's the type of disruptive technology that sparks wars. Trucking employs 3.5 million men.

2018-07-11 18:01:20 UTC  

In the US.

2018-07-11 20:15:27 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD yeah exactly. I'm like... "Wow, cool... I guess" but I feel like it will also put a lot of men out of work, but then again if it works it will probably be hard to stop that kind of economic force. Trucking as I understand it actually pays decently, which mean the globalists are going to gleefully push this.

2018-07-11 20:16:17 UTC  

I have all kinds of mixed feelings about it.

2018-07-11 20:16:48 UTC  

It would be a lot better if they were replacing the foreigners driving the taxis and Uber and stuff

2018-07-11 20:18:46 UTC  

Many foreigners drive trucks also.

2018-07-11 20:52:34 UTC  

Shovels put hand-diggers out of work and we’re all better for it.

2018-07-11 21:03:01 UTC  

@Tanner - SC Yeah but hand diggers weren't better off for it in their lifetimes, neither were luddites.
