I like bikes. Mostly ones with engines.
I really didn't expect to go to the fucking mat on the topic of LED lightbulbs today but it was, sincerely, REALLY nice to argue with strangers about something stupid and low-impact instead of The Horrors.

Do I love the Supertrapps? Yes.
Do I wish they were a bit quieter? Also yes.

For some reason the first place I take it after washing it is usually straight down a dirt driveway. I am not a smart man.

Remember kids: legality doesn't necessarily map to morality.
Sometimes authorities will take issue with the right thing to do, so buy that tail-tidy/fender eliminator.

no one ever asked for an "engaging" refrigerator. we want it to keep our food cold and not cost too much. if my refrigerator ever starts talking to me i will empty a .308 into it
Hell. You are describing hell. Nobody wants an “interactive and engaging” dishwasher. They just want their dishes cleaned. www.forbes.com/sites/bernar...

Finance tip: put lumps of coal in your butt and ride on tar-snaked roads in a rainstorm. You might just pucker them bad boys into diamonds.

What a weird feeling, just found a post on Reddit of someone claiming my bike is theirs. It's plain black R6, man. I'd probably never know it from another if I hadn't taken the photo lol.

I have what's called the "Target logo" personality type, where to strangers I can seem grumpy and annoying and off-putting (the outer red ring) but once you get to know me a little you reach the friendly white layer. Then once you REALLY get to know me

Sometime in the mid-80's Yamaha railed a line of coke and screamed "BECAUSE IT'D BE RAD AS HELL."
No one had asked them a question.
Anyway, this bike is dumb. So very, very dumb, and I love it.
