Still - looks great - probably sounds awesome, too! I'm in the process of a Bug build myself, and I've been going back and forth on what I want to do with the motor. Part of me says go modern with small displacement, EFI, and turbo, part of me says keep it trad more cubes with big dual carbs.

Interesting cross-shopper there. Not a trade in I would expect on one of those.

The existence of the Popemobile in the CARS cinematic universe means that at some point, one of those cute-as vehicles tried to assassinate the Pope, which is kind of fucked up when you think about it

I had a Gran Canyon for a little while - Ducati 900 in that bike, it was fun.

See, now, a good use of AI would be in a microwave. When it detects someone approaching with a plate of fish it locks the door and yells at whoever it is to knock it off.

My colleague just shared this photo of his dad's 1969 Honda scrambler, bought it new in 1969, all original except the tires and the seat. Starts on the first try every time, lots of miles on it. #motoksy

After many years of owning our JDM 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero, I still love driving it, and am impressed how well sorted and well made it is. It might be slow, but it's so solid. #weirdcarbs #blueskycars #jdm #mitsubishi

I replaced the faucet stem valves on my shower this weekend. It took me over two hours and I felt like I had invented nuclear fusion.

I've felt for a while like lightly used Husqies are a serious bargain. I don't know why anyone would buy the equivalent KTM when the Pilens look soooo good.

On my motorcycle pretty much every day. Big road trip I had last week with a press vehicle I cut short by a good four days. Given how much I'll get paid for the articles, the math just wasn't mathing after a while. 🫤
