Loser behaviour.

quote:

Was thinking about this today: A year ago, I was the only woman driving a KTM X-Bow Comp R at Sonoma. Dude immediately comes up: “You know this only comes in a manual, right?”

“Yes.” (There’s a DSG, but I did not want to engage.)

“Do you know how to drive a manual?”

“Yes.”

He did not ask the men that, that I heard. Assigned seating put us across from each other at dinner. He asked if I’d ever driven on track before.

“The last time I was on track was actually at Shanghai International.”

“And that car was an automatic?”

“No. It was a stick.”

We probably talked for more than an hour that night, because dinner and all.

The next morning, he sat with me at breakfast. He promptly confused me for the only other woman on the trip: a representative for KTM. We looked nothing alike.

Oh also it was Randy Pobst

I want to underscore that aside from the words themselves, the way I was spoken to and looked at during all of my interactions with him was as if I was both a child and an inferior being. The tone, the expressions, the questions — it was very demeaning. Don’t do this to women.

That sounds unfortunate but she's also a professional Gawker media drama queen so I'd take it with a grain of salt.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Gawker is dead and has been sold to one of those soulless media conglomerates owned by Trump sycophants who are doing their best to kill off the various sites that used to be part of Gawker. I assume Deadspin is still ironically dead or did they find a bunch of scabs to “just stick to sports”?

They try to do the same thing they used to but it’s not very good.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.

Am I microwaved, or does that look pretty good?

The roof line kinda throws it off and makes it look cheaper, but the front and back do look really cool.

I am amused that this is registered as a motorcycle (see license plate) despite being larger and heavier than the bro-est of bro-dozers.

I will give it a few points for the Detroit Diesel, as I have a soft spot for those.

But I will subtract about a million points because, just, come on. What the hell is wrong with boomers?

Now if it had a *real* Detroit, like a 12V92 instead of that pussy 6...

Some idiot saw the reliant robin and went "dying in a rollover sure looks fun, let's make it a sure thing."

And doubled down on it by making it a live axle with no diff, so it looooooves to go straight, especially with just the one wheel in front, at a low pressure, and off the ground half the time. there was a definitely technique in making them turn.

The back end looks like someone pressed too hard with a rolling pin and squeezed it to nothing.

Also is the bottom exhaust on each side connected to nothing but... each other?

The front looks kinda aggressive in a "chopped to poo poo" kinda way but overall hard pass.

Randy should never leave the US where the rest of the world mostly know how to drive stick so all those women he meets can likely do so and * pooooffsshhh*

It's loving awful. All the benefits of a motorcycle aside from handling, acceleration and braking. Makes you look a right dropkick as well.

perhaps, but I'd gladly cruise around the post-apocalyptic desert wasteland of 2022 in the thing, preferably after the paint rotted off and it's just all rust. :black101:

the cross and spots for the 10 commandments on the back could even be repurposed for my wasteland death cult, how convenient!

No protection from the sun, sandstorms, or war boys. Single front wheel would give you at best lovely handling. You'd be roadkill in no time.

To be fair, anything that big, tall and heavy is going to have lovely handling

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Following this trajectory you can easily see that the less truck there is in the final trike the better the result.

Church trike 90/10 truck to engine, lame
Kenworth trike 50/50 truck to engine, cool
Monster garage trike 1/99 truck to engine, awesome
