They won't be happy until they've destroyed everything. Better not be race queens next.

F1 to end long-standing practice of using 'grid girls'

What a sad world this is becoming. The fun is being sucked out of everything.

That'd be a fun little bike to tear around town.

Great bike. You were the king of the neighborhood if you had one of those or a Honda 150. My first real motorcycle was a Honda 350. I thought I was King riding that around.

Those little bikes can really scoot

Think I've found a possible replacement for my Zrx1100.

(provided I could afford to replace it) Always thought how cool it would be to have an original Z-1 or Kz 900

This recent "retro revival" is one of the best things to happen to motorcycling in a long time.

Haven't really been into Dodges in probably a decade but the new Ram looks like a Toyota. And that's not a stab at Toyota, it's a stab at Ram for not looking like a Ram. They had the headlights sitting low to the grille to convey that unique semi-inspired look since the early 90's. And goodbye, crosshair.

Dodge has had a really ugly front grill on its trucks for years.

Around here Dodges rust out in 4 or 5 years. Chevys and Fords last a little longer

The Superbowl ad and a few others have been pretty stupid. Virtue signaling and no relevant substance. Not about the merits about the product at all.

My 20 year old Dakota is going strong.

Liked the looks of the old KZs . Did not like the shim under bucket valve setup where the cams had to come out to make adjustments.

If that had lived it's life here, the cab corners would have been gone 18 years ago.
