Ever watch Grand Tour (the Prime follow-on to British Top Gear?) They had a driver they called The Ameerican. He'd fit into the Politics forum like a boss. He would not hesitate to call a V4 car "communist".

On an aside - one of the best-sounding engines I ever heard was a somewhat modified Yammy V-Max taching it in third gear. Boston, early 1989. MAN that bike sounded good.

For more modern machines, the flat-crank V8s in the Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1 ... pure music. Again, season 1 episode 1 "Grand Tour".

I’ve watched the first season of Grand Tour but it was a binge watch not much sunk in. I’ll give it a watch when the kids go to lunch with there grandparents.
My cousin has a Ducati with a V4 think its a Panigale. That things a beast I took it for a burn it hit 150mph with ease sounds so tough that motor. It makes me want to do the “Tim the Tool Man Taylor” noise .
I hadn’t moved that fast on a bike for over 8 years. Let’s just say the old sphincter was tensing up. I had a Ducati 996 had to sell it I can’t follow road rules on a bike. I think it’s from riding dirt bikes I see the road as a track. I might get a cruiser one day something that doesn’t feel like you need to hit rev limiter every gear.

In the '90s, when I was paying attention, I was treated to the sound of sportbikes with tuned Kerker or Yoshimura pipes. When they hit the sweet spot, the bikes produced this glorious trumpet blare. It put me in mind of the motorcycle-racing scene in "Tron", the first one and not the disappointing remake. Dopplering past with a lusty beeeEEEEYAAaaahhh ... oh yeah

You mean someone’s done a disappointing remake of a movie I couldn’t bring myself to watch it the original is so good. Then I was on a flight and it was playing. I spent the next 24 hours thinking what the fuck.

4 minutes ago at 10:30 this evening I accomplished taking my last test for my last class this semester. It's been a juggle. Still managed to pull A's in all 3 of the classes. The final for Oral Communications is on Tuesday. But myself and 4 other people are excused because we're awesome. So we're going to the bar lol.

If they only had cute, scantily clad Cuban girls to deliver said sandwiches to my seat. Maybe they could come back to rub my tummy when I'm finished. Then perhaps a little head...

That's great.

Will you be using study aids to prepare for the finals?

Or just a rigorous exercise regimen.

I couldn't agree more with " dirt bikes made me a reckless street biker " I have totalled out seven bikes on the street. But I was only being reckless one of those times , the rest were at legal speed or at least not doing completely stupid shit. It seemed like if I was riding hard I was at least paying more attention. But the dirt bikes did make me a much better wrecker and that is the only reason I still have my left leg.

I woke up to find a dead horse in T&T's reception area. It was surrounded by an impressive array of bats, clubs, cudgels, truncheons and the odd mace. It also had a big NO BEATING - Mgmt placard hung on it. MMAANN am I frustrated.

I have big balls.... not big brains...


I'm not sure if this is a compliment but it's pretty honest.

It's bike week here where I'm at this weekend and we've seen one pretty bad accident so far. I'm sure there's been more but I don't want to see folks loaded up in a ambulance like that, we were stuck in traffic and had a pretty good view of the clean up....sad.

People and animals have tried to kill me many times over the years, of course riding home from the bar fast to get more beer before the store shuts off sales at 0200 is not recommended.

Indeed, it looked though that it could have great potential; many questions unanswered and worth further investigation

Yes, I was quite pleased to see someone had thoughtfully brought the fight to me. I've been to busy IRL to follow up virtual leads. Only to find it had been declared off limits! @sunni any chance you might give us a special Sunday dispensation to brangle about over that thread and kill it first thing Monday?
