Back to the topic , cars, drivers were running over motorcyclists long before EVs and self driving novelties . The cell phone has done more harm than good on the road. Numb drivers don't help a thing .

I have Akrapovic on my Suzuki and it is BAD TO THE BONE ! If they make them for the V11 , guess what I am getting?

Welcome to Luddite Land .

Mmmm . as in HAL 9000 ?

IF I were going to use any system like this , it would be a secondary and not a primary device . I am old enough to understand , I am the responsible party , not a program or feature .

I heard that name a looong time ago !

The other day @ work , we started out on a Bourbon conversation that very quicky became "technical" ! Now , I need to survey the group . Was Woodford Reserve your fav or another ? Hairsplittin" is expected .

Ha !

NO ONE thinks of the fact : after the fuel filter . I was working on a Jeep Wagoneer , 360 V8 w/a factory Motorcraft 4BBL carb. It was constantly flooding from rust getting under the needle/seat. I replaced the fuel filter so often I could do it "goin' down the road". After about 3 mos. of this nonsense , I found the metal fuel line from the filter to carb was rusted inside causing ALL the trouble. Some things are never forgotten !

I could NEVER figure out why one of my riding partners would ride next to the edge of the road and he could ride a 2x4 for 150 miles . I started following his habit to stay away from traffic . If I am in the left lane I don't want anyone on my righthand side. There have never been more factors to consider than there are now

Tesla (for everyone's understanding) should send an e-mail to every Tesla owner stating that "this is NOT a robotic self thinking vehicle and the driver is fully responsible at all times" and make sure it is acknowledged. One life is not worth the stupidity of others.

I haven't heard that term in a LOOOONG time !

The video is from Metropolis . A very powerful movie itself. you need to watch. 1984 came by and was never addressed. IDK if 2525 is gonna be much different

Whew , I really don't know where this EV stuff is going ? And the idea you are going 100% EV ? I am not sure about this.

I wish I knew for sure but people are stupid so I am not sure . It was in a clip News of the Weird by Chuck Grizzard

Since the conversation has gotten lighter........... there was an article (back in the 70s) about this guy that bought a "conversion" van w/all the accessories , options , etc. After pulling out on the interstate he turned on the cruise control , got up and went back to the mini bar to fix a drink . The rest up to the reader's imagination !

It should not be difficult to decide "who" is in charge of driving/operating the vehicle .

Excellent video

I am speechless. It is getting more deadly every year.

Unless it has changed , there is a large fuel distributor in Paducah and when a tanker fills up , they use a "credit card" to swipe and get the additives mixed in when the fuel is filling the tanker. Shell , BP . Exxon , etc. comes from the same terminal . These cheap gas pumps at convenience stores have ZERO additives to their fuels. This is where mileage becomes a factor. AFA , water in the tanks , truckers delivering the fuel should be sticking the tanks before and after w/this paste applied to the end of a long wooden stick to check for water . There E85 fuel pumps over in Mo. and they sell a lot of fuel. Whew , talk about poor MPG !

I just realized , my V-strom is a counterfeit Stelvio

10cc of fluid leaving the master cylinder will be 10cc of fluid added to the volume of the slave cylinder. Now as far as the leverage portion goes it depends upon the size of the slave cylinder vis-a-vis master cylinder bores. The hydraulic jack proves this point.

The volume of fluid "pushed" by the master cylinder has to go somewhere , so it goes into the slave cylinder . Leverage works in this system but it has nothing to do with the volume of fluid moved.

My memory fails me but , I never heard of the Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac until right around the first round of Covid 19 . I was in one of my favorited haunts in Cape Girardeau at CD Warehouse and a Fleetwood Mac CD was playing . I asked the salesman some ?s , he pulled the CD out of the player , I bought it and things were never the same !

#1 verify the throttle kicker is fully closed. #2 look at all the throttle linkages and be certain there is no binding anywhere and be sure throttle plates are snapping shut when you are releasing the throttle
