BraveUlysses posted:Well as terrible as they are, wouldn't they be better than the trikes with one wheel up front and two in the back? Those seem to have even fatter fucks on them. Depends on your definition of "better" I suppose. They probably handle a poo poo ton better than your standard trike, but those same standard trikes can also have huge bench seats for land whales instead of having to straddle a more motorcycle-like seat.

As a Ducati owner,  , I wouldn't ride a 3 wheel thing, but I don't get the hate. There are lots of unappealing vehicles out there, trikes are just another unappealing vehicle.

Some cops had pulled over someone visible from my office window. I couldn't see why they did until the tow truck came a few minutes later. Terrible zoomed in picture, but she was driving in this.

einTier posted:Saw this wonderful monstrosity a little over a week ago. No less than seven American flags on it, because you know, America. My stepdad seriously considered one of those trikes (although obviously without the horrible graphics). He's been riding real motorcycles for 40+ years. Raced in AFM club racing, still owns three or four bikes (GSXR750s, CBR600s). So why would he want one? Because my mom refuses to ride on the back of a regular bike with him, and has done since he accidentally dumped her off the back 20 years ago. (He was taking a tightly -curving inclined offramp that had a giant white arrow painted on the pavement, and it had rained recently so the arrow was slick, and he managed to pop the rear end out and slide it for maybe two feet before recovering, and mom just kind of slid off the back and landed on her butt at ~15mph.) He rented one for the weekend and my mom decided she hated it anyway so that idea was busto. But the point is, there's reasons other than "because you're a total lame-o" or "enormously fat" to want a trike.

I can't tell what the engine is, but it's obviously not original. I can dig it. Buy back your totaled (probably rolled in this case) car, part it out, and have fun with the shell. Rip the roof out and put a snowmobile engine in it. I mean, it looks like it needs a lighter to start the engine. It's so ridiculous, I think it's kinda cool.

FIRST TIME posted:Was that a Hellafail moment because I don't know how else that could have happened. Might just be driver stupidity. He's in a slight right, you hear him accelerate, back end steps out slightly (Power oversteer). He points at the wall. Brake lights come on and he spins left (Brake oversteer). After impact the car seems to roll just fine to the right. So I don't think anything snapped. But that's just me being a back seat driver. VVVV I see the bump, too much power with the rear unsettled?

Looks to me like he hits a slight bump which makes him lose traction.

I'm pretty sure it was the stupid rear camber that reduced his contact patch to that of an Opel Kadett.
