You know I heard on the news the Big Three are talking about merging!!! Or alteast GM and Chyrsler! Guess that's not really the Big Three? But still pretty shocking to me... GM is going to "trade" their share of GMAC financing to Cerberus for Chrysler. Chrysler has $12 billion in the bank...

It's just cool on multiple levels. I had my '52 Chevy in junior year, and the pictured '67 Imperial for senior year. I went to a yuppie-ass high school, and everybody was always in awe of the old junk I'd drive to school on a daily basis. That Lincoln is far cooler than my Imp was, though!

roost251- yeah, I'm not getting a TAV for it now, I'll certainly end up wrecked in spectacular fashion. I'll probably put a 72 on the back with a regular clutch and call it good.

Fat kid on a little bike.

So my neighbor Spencer and I both have a minibike fetish. I picked up the gem depicted below a week or so ago, after riding his around for awhile, figuring it was good, clean fun for the whole family. Wrong! So I've had two semi-major incidents already. #1, I was riding his and lost it on some grave...

The price looks to be pretty close to what a Scotts sells for, too, with a much cleaner mounting scheme. I've never ridden a bike with one, are these the cat's ass for our 500's?

I have a set of Answer pants with zip-up pockets on them if I really want to carry my phone and wallet with me. I haven't left my truck in a bad area for riding yet, so I usually just hide my keys in the frame somewhere when I leave so I don't have to carry them with me. Either in a crossmember or c...

Gas that isn't perfectly sealed will lose it's volatility in a matter of days. The lack of volatility makes it harder to start, and it won't be as responsive to changes in throttle position, but steady state is usually okay even with shit fuel.

In Pittsburgh I got blasted with what felt like 900 pounds worth of mud. I should've taken a picture of my bike afterward, being the slow new guy at the back, I got more than my fair share of wet, nasty, stinky dirt all over me. I waited a couple weeks before cleaning my helmet off and it actually l...

Axle mount from David Allen Racing. It's two pieces, far enough away from the swingarm, and never hits the tire or plastics. I think it was $15.

The best tire Ive run so far is the 140/80 18 michelin S12, it hooks like no other but it is chunking pretty bad since I spun it around :( Michigan for the most part is really sandy soil, I've got S12's front and rear on my bike.

I wouldn't mind a new 450 for MX use, but I'd still prefer a 250 2t or 300 EXC with some flywheel weight for nasty woods riding, like what I experienced in Pittsburgh.
