I like how they have the matching hipster clothes/accessories displayed with the bike. ;D

I wouldn't say Belstaff jackets are hipster, they've been around for 100 years. You may pride yourself in not being fashionable lol, but that's up to you.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

That's exactly what makes them popular with the groomed beard crowd.

You sure do. Very important at the old man sausage fest.    ;D

You're telling me it's not a sausage fest when you're riding in the woods?  ...Or what "wood are you riding" exactly!? hiding in the bushes :rofl2:
I smelled so bad after some of my woods riding adventures no animal, let alone humans, wanted to be anywhere near me! LOL [emoji38]
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

More ladies on dirt bikes is not a bad thing.

Shayna Texter will probably win an American Grand National race in flat track next year...and I'd not be surprised if she wins the title...in her rookie season in the premier class.

No, the movie itself isn't great.

I had more fun trying to find all the characters/icons/Easter eggs.

I re-watched it last winter in 3D on my VR headset.  Quite fitting, I thought.

Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Neat bike but if I was looking at 200cc 2 strokes I would look at a 125 KTM SX and put a big bore kit on it or find a 200...
