I love anti-motorcycle people.

Funny I have very few of those occur to me, I almost want to say never ( I'm pretty sure we have covered THAT ). Live in a fairly large area ( Sacramento ). I'm truly grateful that I have your permission to live my life as I want, you sure you're a Texan and not a transplant from New York...

Different skill sets for different desired outcome, If you value speed over defence on the street, you aren't going to last long.

You're getting it. Lot's of those guys that say they are great riders are just as deluded as they are about the car skills. The fact is that if you have to " lay it down " or got whacked by a car you the rider more than likely missed a defensive opportunity. Now remember the thing about...

Ummm, no, makes about the same power as my Husky 610 ( which is 90 pounds lighter ) and yes you can clutch up wheelies in third but twisting the throttle in 3rd,4th,5th and 6th sure as hell aint gonna bring the front up unless you weigh under 100lbs. Congrats on the bike OP

Considering a used Porsche Purchase

Funny little procedure to get the back of the vert top loose then you pivot it up and out of the way. Access is not that bad, it took almost as much time to get all the crap open as it did to change the water pump on the wife's Boxster.

With the hatch above the motor and the one behind the seats, you actually have better access with a Cayman/Boxster that you would think.

Motorcycles: I want one UPDATE I GOT ONE!!!

My wife said that she wanted to ride so I got her a KLX250sf. Perfect first bike, she's dropped it three times already and honestly except for a scrape on the handguards I put on it there is no damage. The seat height can be a challenge for a shorter person but a set of lowering dogbones...

1981 Corvette

If you are moving to Kali you'll definitely want a pre 76 ( 75 or earlier ) C3 just so you can avoid having to smog the damn thing every two years. It can be tough DDing an older car, it's so tempting to mod the crap out of it and then it's not so DD friendly any more. I made that mistake...

Let's talk about Corvette's

If this is a toy, buy the nicest C2 ( 59-67 ) you can afford instead, in ten years you will have not lost a dime and still have a cool car. Buy C6 and in 10 years you'll have a C6 worth 1/3 of what you paid for it and it will look like you just couldn't afford a new one.

A custom made three axle for a tow company back in the late 70's. My pops ( RIP ) picked it up when they went to car haulers for a song. This thing is awesome, I can have a broke car on it and strapped down in under 5 minutes, has a tilt mechanism that pivots in the middle of the traler...

XLCH, has the shifter on the wrong side, I had one about 20 years ago, the shifter thing will keep people from asking to ride it and that's a good thing. Keep the rubber side down.

No mods on the Boxster, 2001, they are pretty good cars bone ass stock. If I want to blow the hair back harder I've got a T-bucket and my turboed 75 2002. The Boxster's job is to be a reliable appliance. Went right by RM, I used to spend a lot of time at the airport there when my main...

I'd drill the head off the bolt, pull the head. The use a torch to heat you new head "stud" about 2 inches down and bend it at a 90 deg angle, let it cool, slide the proper sized pipe on it and spin that fucker out.

Leave the stems out, squirt about 2 second of starting fluid into the tire and little stripe to the outside, set the stripe ablaze with a lighter ( keep hands clear as much as possible ) POP all done, put in stem and inflate to your desired pressure.

I did it on my Corrado, motor was still fine at 250k, oil filter every 5k, oil and filter every 10 ( rod bearings every 80k, the supercharged motor liked to kill them ). The only reason I pulled the motor was I got tired of looking at the fresh 2l forged piston block sitting on the stand...

If you have already initiated oversteer at speed yes, it will look just like the vid. In a straight line, do whatever you want. Please, go try it in a lot, if you have no experience you'll be really surprised at the outcome.
