  1. Triumph, always a good call! I know some people love the Triumph but their terrible reliability just kills the brand. They seem to be like Harley, living off an image while still producing garbage product. I never had any hiccups on mine. I know that's a small sample size but it was 2 years of ownership. My friend w/ a Daytona 600 hasn't had any reliability problems, just regular maintenance like oil, tires, coolant flush. He's put almsot 20,000 miles on his. Another friend had a little cluster issue where it would flicker when it was really really hot out(also a Daytona 600). I know this is a small sample size but that's about 30-35,000 miles on three bikes and the only real issue was an instrument cluster that would get finicky on HOT days, like 95*+. That is good to hear as I have been out of the cycle scene for a while so glad to hear they are getting better.
  2. Which year BMW is this auto again? 199XXXXXXXXX?

  4. So true, I used the following posted chart: http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/bmi-chart.html Course it stops at 6 ft 4 inches But for me on their chart at 6'4" 280 that gives me a BMI of 35 which is obese. Guess the BMI is a joke not being able to take into account muscle mass. Just found this updated chart that goes up to 7' tall http://256.com/gray/docs/body_mass_index_bmi.html So I am specifically a 32 on the BMI index and still considered Obese.
  5. I don't think anyone will disagree with this. I'm wondering if Volkswagen will be able to do it quickly. You think they can wrap this all up by the end of 2017 or will it drag into 2018 and really hurt the company long term. I wonder what Porsche thinks about tying up with VW now?
  6. They might not find US MPG issues, but I bet they do find other things hidden in the Mitsu closet.
  7. Is that charge rate on a 110 outlet or a 220 that needs to be installed in your garage? 9hrs to full charge on a 240V charging system. Per Chevy Web Site:
  8. Wish they would do the following colors: Bing Cherry - A dark heavy metallic purplish color covering a range from black to purple. Candy Apple Red - Anyone who knows the 60's should understand this lovely color Candy Apple Green - Same as the red note. Chromatic Paint jobs would be cool like the following: Heat Sensitive paint jobs would also be really cool: I was suprised to see this but for fun Thermal paint urinals seem to be the rage in the asian rim.
  9. Have to say this drives the question of WHY such specific weird numbers to be built? Is this due to a limited supply of parts and so they are using up the parts and that will be it? I also question Sergio state of mind in killing off such an awesome Halo auto with nothing to replace it. Dodge does not needs an Italian POS auto as the new Halo. This also just reaks of Sergio continuing to steal all the profits from America for his Italian survival mode of trying to keep dead brands alive in some form rather than just accepting history and leaving them to the books. Sergio = IDIOT CEO that never really built anything just moved shells around to confuse and distract the IDIOT Board.
  10. The BOLT not only shocked the world, but put pressure on all Auto OEMs. As to why we saw a rushed Tesla 3 shown and Hyundai announced their Ioniq or how ever you spell it EV auto with plug in VOLT competitor also to be out at the end of 2016 on lots 2017. I expect this 2nd Generation leaf to be shown early next year at one of the autoshows. Based on reading Nissan's web site about their EV plans, the engineers are pushing for mid 200 mile range, but I can understand the conservative nature of saying 210-220 which is a decent range for a compact like this. I am excited to see what the final EPA numbers are for the BOLT as GM still advertises full charge in 9 hrs at 25 miles per hr charge. So this would give the BOLT a 225 mile battery pack range. Over all the future of near silent gliding auto's is upon us.
  11. Agree, monthly updates does suck but then security breaches suck more. I just hope we get sooner rather than later to having everything be HTML 5 so we can droip all the crappy java stuff, flash this and that, etc.
  12. This is understandable, wonder what the replacement will look like and what the over all fit n finish will be. This also tells me that some good deals will be available on these at the end of the year and early part of next year as they blow them out then.
  13. Cool review of yours gen one against the gen two. I feel that no matter how good the product is, unless they grow their dealer network and the customer base, they will get swallowed up in time by a larger company.
  14. Long Day!
  15. Scotty is dead and Sergio is to blame for the cheap ass shifter!
  16. ^^^
  17. Probably to also appeal the socialist unions that are demanding they keep their over paid over benefited jobs.
  18. 340 models, they could greatly increase profitability by reducing that number in half to 170 models. Then also retire low volume versions. Wonder how this stacks up against the other OEM builders? Anyone have those figures quickly available?
  19. That figure of money seems LOW for what a company should be planning for as I would expect them to be hit with fines also.
  20. Very cool video, they have come a long way since the 80's of loading a bike.
