I'd guess it's slightly higher than the drivetrain loss for stickers, seeing as they aren't affixed quite as permanently, but stickers are only 1-10hp each, so it sorta balances out.

My friend has "Gojira" on her GTR. Indiana is pretty slack on custom plates.

Is that a rule for GTRs? I don't think I've ever seen one without a custom Godzilla license plate.

A few years ago, during a layoff from another job, I worked for an oil change shop in south Everett, WA. Let's just say it rhymes with "Iffy Lube."
Anyway one day I arrived at work to find this sweet machine in the bay:




The owner was a girl who I was assuming was in her late teens-early 20's, and was there with an older gentleman who we assumed was her father and was making sure she had her car properly maintained. Her outfit was, well kinda whorish. But this is south Snohomish County and you really just can't tell in those parts sometimes.

That is we assumed he was her dad until he started grabbing her rear end and whispering in her ear. They left the car with us while they went to the Motel 6 next door for an hour. When she came back to pay she was slurring her speech and could barely stand up straight. She only drove back over to the motel so we decided to forgo calling the Sheriff.

God, I hated even being in that neighborhood.

Also that Lambo-door kit felt about as cheap as you'd imagine.

e:I've looked at these pics so many times and I'm always focused on the doors and the lovely rims. I just now noticed the fitment on the lower grille :laffo:

For people with -real- handicaps, the can-am is probably the only factory bike they can ride.

The guy could be 90, barely able to walk, but still too cool for a cage.

If the Can-Am has an automatic transmission, it would not have a clutch handle and most likely has a rear brake handle in it's place; I've seen automatic 4-wheelers like this. So theoretically someone who is missing both legs say below the knee could ride one since you don't have a shifter on the left foot and the rear brake can be actuated from the handlebar.

Can-Ams are OK if the rider is actually handicapped. Not everyone has the time/money to build a wheelchair-ready sidecar hack for a Ducati Monster.

Ok then, mystery solved. Speaking of handicap bikes. What is it with these bikes that have full on training wheels. Not even a trike, the bike has 4 drat wheels. Doesn't that make it a car?

Saw a guy with one leg missing just above the knee riding one the other day, in fact.

In the UK it would probably be a "light quadricycle", which is the class ATVs count as if you road-register them.

It wouldn't be hard to identify when stolen either. You would probably end up with one of those mugshots where the guy is duct-taped to the chair so he can remain upright.

Stage 3 oil injection
The one day I didn't bring my dashcam.
M5 doing a U-turn on a large intersection decides to floor it during the turn. Does 270 degrees of spin inches from crossing back over the median into the cars who were just behind him, but sloppily corrects it in time. :doh:

You lose all common sense for women (there were a couple of attractive college chicks at the crosswalk).
...I of course launched when the light turned. :unsmith:
