Last time I drove across Missouri in good riding weather I saw at least a dozen trikes and zero actual motorcycles.

Aircraft engineers/pilots have a VERY high incidence rate of 'I know better' when it comes to bikes, anecdotally.

A galaxy brain aircraft engineer PO is the only reason I know a PC cpu fan can't meaningfully cool a gsxr1100 rectifier or run on 12V. He also wired the rectifier to pump out totally unregulated voltage back into the alternator'a armature, luckily the alternator itself was hosed so his bike didn't catch on fire.

An airline pilot was mildly surprised when I told him you need to put air in the tires once in a while; didn't notice the bike riding funny for the prior two years. Also thought engine oil 'dries out', panicked about having no oil in the bike (capacity 2800ml) so filled it till he could see oil in the sightglass. Drained oil: 6.5L. Sightglases are checked with the bike upright, not on the stand, if you're wondering.

Seen another aircraft engineer decide the factory didn't know how to make earth cables and he knew better, spliced in a racecar style isolator for the battery and turned the big gauge battery earth lead into two small ~2.5mm core wires, all of this held together in the least corrosion-resistant way possible. His bike caught on fire.

That or the hideous abomination that is the Polaris Slingshot.

That thing is the answer to the question of “what if we took an Ariel Atom, made it utterly poo poo and found a way to make it so you can’t avoid potholes?”

Edit: Jesus they offer driver training on the Can-Am. Just sit down and steer the thing, it’s a drat car.

Last summer, I got to witness a parade of Polarises drive past. Must have been 22 or 24 of them, and they were keeping better two-by-two formation than your average IndyCar grid during the pace laps.

The effect was ruined by the extremely loud music they were all blaring.

Apparently they were added because, if you've ever driven a Wrangler before, driving at highway speeds it literally looks like the hood is going to tear itself off of the latches and fly away. The vents are there to add a bit more airflow to reduce that (although I'm not sure how much that would really effect it - they also just added stronger hood latches).

Fender vents are also present on FJ40's and they look very awesome on those.

They're actually functional? Well gat dang. I rescind my words of vitriol.

Also, I'd like to point out that I drew LONEWLF's predecessor, in 1989:

Do you think he would be upset if I pointed out that he had put turds all over his truck? What the gently caress was he thinking? What the gently caress was *Toyota* thinking?

Everytime I see a Slingshot, they will have their stereo cranked! I saw one being loud last Thanksgiving. In a bad part of town. Parked at a strip mall.

I used to work for a third party contractor to Fujifilm, once while training on a new printer a product specialist was recounting a meeting he had with some Japanese software engineers about wanting to rename the central server in the mini lab configuration as the "digital imaging controller", or DIC for short.

Apparently it took the interpreter about 10 minutes to fully explain why this was a bad idea in English speaking countries.

3 inches or so would be sweet. I think even ditching the cab marker lights would do a lot to make it look better.
