i follow a bunch of e-bike discussion groups and people are doing ludicrous stuff with bicycle frames and motors. people are getting maimed and killed. then again people get maimed and killed on regular bicycles but **** goes bad a lot more at 30mph than it does at 15mph when you're wearing nothing but a plastic and foam helmet meant for tip-overs

this thing is amazing https://lunacycle.com/sur-ron-light-bee-electric/

i have a 1300cc motorcycle that i ride around the block twice a year. a vestige of my past

i should sell it, but i say it's a good insurance policy if i need a backup vehicle. i used it as such when the integra got gutted and dumped one night

i don't know if i'm just hyper sensitive about it since the Camp Fire or what, but the AQ really bugs me now. purpleair.com has great map that i keep checking

also the more i think about it, the weather here is far from perfect. for example when i park outside some mornings i end up with condensation on my side mirrors that i have to wipe off or i can't use them. :-/

18 in wheels doe, they gonna make it look good in 2021, right? How much will the car have grown by then lol

The '70 and '91 rides look p sweet.

Not a lot of growth in the 21 years from 70 to 91 (21 years) and even 91 to 07 (16 years) wasn't too bad (based on front wheels about the same growth for each time period - 91-07 maybe slightly less). The 12 years from 07 to 19 tho moar growth than the other comparisons and in a shorter time span.

Cyril Abiteboul says Renault will focus more on the engine development rather than aerodynamics over the winter break. Despite rule changes focused on the aerodynamic elements, Renault looks to close the gap in engine power as they believe they have one of best chassis on the grid.
He's ******* delusional. RB with the same PU was lapping the RS18 at times. This is the same fool saying that the Honda PU is worse than the Renault PU because TR finished behind them at the end of the season.

The Honda PU may be worse than Renault (I don't think it is, but it could be), but comparing a works team against a B spec development team with a bodge job to get the PU into a bastardized chassis is daft. If Renault wants to move forward they need to fire Abitefool.

I'd bet you'll be bothered by that **** for a while too. Takes time for your body to recover when it's that bad for an extended period of time. Did you get any migraines during it?

ILM 100 watch.

Currently at 95.83 and we're probably gonna get douched this weekend. Not out of the question we could be over 98 inches by the end of Sun night.

98.02 after this weekend's event. Looks like another solid event late in the week.
