If that 90 mile range is true, and accurate in the real world, that's just marginally less than some of the carb'd two strokes I've had.

As long as it's the same or less money as a gas sled, I bet it sells.

That holds true for almost anyone with any illness you have.  Except the mother-in-law part alot of us would love to catch them the flu or some covid lol

The China virus change it for me somewhat. I'd have not think twice about going anywhere with a cold or flue.

If I wasn't going to puke or worse,  I'm in for work or a party.

Lol.

My mother in law awesome.

The inlaws put up with me as a piece of shit teenager.

Traffic jams and line ups 8 blocks long…. Just to get tested  

People waiting nearly 5 hours as some sort of strange virtuous appeal to authority 

even reports of people driving to different cities just to get tested 

this shit is out of control 

I'd like a test, but it's such a shit show in my region the earliest I can get in is 29DEC, then a possible 4 day turn around time.

Couple days ago I lost most of my voice and had a bit of a cough.

Without a negative test I'm not going to have dinner with my 80 year old mother in law, in a small house with around 30 people, nor my 85 year old parents, while dad is recovering from heart problems from his 2nd jab.

I am as anti this bullshit as they come, and don't give a fuck what other people think but will not put my wants in front of my relatives health.

If that's virtue signaling, I suppose I don't quite understand what that means.

If masks and vaccines don't work, which they mostly don't, the alternative is don't spread it around indoors, IMO.

I see a massive increase in income and consumption taxes.

I plan to work very little in the coming years, just up to the level where the taxes are a minimum.

Oh, crap.

I sold my 1000 sdi

That prick of a motor made stupid power, at any rpm with the electric exhaust valve setup.

I wish Rotax could have made it hold together.

Mock C won last night every time to 100 mph but just cause it launches so dang hard 

Is that because of the launch control? Stutter and build boost until the brakes are released?

A winder rider could probably defeat that with a heavier drive clutch spring. Not as tech, but maybe.

Game on.

I've got no hopes my turbo R will outrun my brother's winder.

That Yammy engine can make mad power. Delivered to a Cat frame, so it may not always end well.

I've got no bias. I have Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Rotax , Kawi motors in my fleet.

Honda water pump, Yamaha Generator, Suzuki ATV and motorcycle, Rotax in the sleds,  Kawi motor in my John Deere X360 lawn tractor.

Why the fuck haven't we in North America come up with something better than a small engine to power a lawn mower?

We beat the Japs and the Krauts already. WTF?

Must be fun on that Russian thing with zero suspension for the driver...other than a poorly padded seat.

Laugh not, for you all shall do the same, when the Swami of Science, Lord Fauci passes.

 Irv is absolutely correct. Good Post.

Typical Knee jerk reaction that the American public has based on a headline. If you read Irv's link you'll see that The Salvation Army's message would be inline with Jesus's message. The problem with is they used the word apologize which we all know is a trigger word that they shouldn't have used. I don't have a problem with them asking us to look inside, think about the issue and do our best to kind and decent.

My wife and I donate food and money throughout the year to the local Sally Ann.

They run the thrift shop and food bank in my community.

The do good things with little overhead. 

Them and the red cross are the only two we donate to.

This was a stupid, woke person trying to virtue signal. Shoulda just stayed out of it.

Some of the anger is stirred on both sides, for the opposite reasons, but the result may be the same.

It's a Christian organization, and many hate Christians, even if they are doing good works. Shut them down.

Many are Christians, and hate being called racist, while doing good works. Shut them down.

I got 700 gallons in my tank in the shop.  Should last us till summer.  6 months ago when they couldn't get DEF sensors cat and cummins re-wrote the software to not look for those sensors.  Maybe we can delete the whole works if we can't get def???

My thoughts as well.

Software fix, for now.

If stealing from the taxpayer makes one a socialist, literally every politician and major corporation are socialists. 

The reality is that they're all capitalist and this is 100% capitalism. 

You can steal from taxpayers.

I pay large in taxes, they are a necessary part of a democracy.

Problem is, it’s gotten out of control.

Taxes are now trying to be used to do things they should not.

Spending  trillions by government is just taxes deferred.

Your kids will pay for it, as will ours

Imagine thinking Biden is a socialist...

 

He is

Trying to steal from the American people to fund his green new deal,  welfare state agenda to the tune of trillions of dollars.

Saw him on prime time, selling a rowing machine.

Is he now a patriot? A figure so noble, his image will sell a product?

Will it sell well? Should that not be a death sentence for the product?

We have a socialist, drama teacher, piece of shit running our country.

You’ve got no better.

End times?

Are we, sharing the North American continent fucked?

Think you are correct.

Eventually, personal responsibility loses, stupid wins.

Who made the pistol, sold it, and the ammo too.

NONE of this was possible, without the firearm.

Common denominator in EVERY school shooting. Period.

They got deep pockets. They must be to blame

I did hear there was some blame to spread around that way.

Charges, maybe, convictions possibly, money payouts, get it from the trigger man.

Still, ultimately it was the kid that pulled the trigger.

No, but the bartender who was still pouring him drinks when he was leggless is a different story.

I disagree.

Bars should have little or no culpability for those that choose to get blotto and drive.

Personal  choice 101

I’d not make a good judge.

I would assign blame to the one that deserved it.

Silly me.

They knew something was wrong and never acted on it.

Inaction should not make one culpable.

We all know know someone who drinks too much and drives, might have even gone riding with them when they are pickled.

Should not make me liable.

Who are they suing?  The school?  That I can see.  Parents?  Of course but that's a waste of time.  Gunmaker?  

The only one to sue, IMO, is the cunt that pulled the trigger.

Open it up beyond that and you could sue the UPS driver that shipped the ammo to the store it was bought from.

Watching Fox News 2, Detoilet.

Seems a couple twats are suing already for a cool hundred mil.

Nothing says end of grief like a sweet bed of money to lie on.

Just what the school system needs, that money taken away.

Go after the gun manufacturer too, you pieces of shit. 

May they rot in hell, vultures.

So much winning in this thread.  SO MUCH!!!!!

Not a Chrysler guy but Ford doing that to the Mustang is like Skidoo whoring out the Mach Z brand.

The new Vette should have a pizza oven...they stole so much from the Italians.

Funny story.

Friends of mine, president of my sled club was getting a new hot tub delivered a couple Saturdays ago. 

Their well sucks so I filled a couple 1000L totes from my well in the shop, balanced and chlorinated the water. Pumped that water into a 425 gallon tank that fits in my pickup bed.

Get there, help put the tub in place, filled it, did the final wiring connection they had mostly in place. Started it up. Wanted nothing for any of the help/water etc. Said so.

Get home and I see a mason jar hidden beside my travel bag, passenger seat of truck, I run with that bag always. Spare socks, softie, clothes, boots, battery pack, phone cables etc. You do enough field service, you want a bag like this. Military training. Useful shit.

I bought a case of mason jars earlier that week for my wife to preserve stuff so I'm like shit, must have dropped a couple and here they are.

Nope, Christy snuck in two mason jars of maple syrup they make from their trees, and a Canadian Benjamin taped to the top of one.

Crafty sneak! I'm good for the year with quality maple syrup.
