My parents got me one to use on motorcycle camping trips a few years ago, and it's so handy. I'm thinking about one of the larger ones to keep at home.

/r/snakes was surprisingly active given our fairly niche position in the greater pet community.

I'm not talking about advertising money, I'm talking about them contributing to the fees paid to the FIA to host the actual Grand Prix. The organizers lost money on that race most years. It ran, and 2019 was no exception.

One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70's moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.

I'd like to believe my Honda Ridgeline is the exception to this, but truck bros don't acknowledge it as a real truck anyway.

 

My 2017 Africa Twin in the Parque Nacional Huascaran in Peru, 2019 Tuono V4 Factory on a random Tennessee back road, and 2012 Daytona 675R in its home environment at NCM Motorsports Park. Pretty big fan of my little collection.

Hello fellow motorcycle fanatics! I wanted to make a plug for /c/trackdays, a community I formed for anyone interested in getting into track riding and/or club racing around the country. The subreddit of the same name has been a great resource, and I'm hoping to build a worthy counterpart for anyone that's migrated over to Lemmy. I've compiled a pretty extensive list of track day organizations, racing schools, and sanctioning bodies for club racing, and I hope it'll make a worthy addition to the motorcycle-focused communities on here!

GM has stated plans to build their own Cadillac-badged F1 engine starting in 2026, provided the bid gets approved.

28 is amazing, and usually less populated than the Dragon. The Cherohala Skyway is also stunning, and makes an excellent loop with 129 and a couple of other great roads. Hard to go wrong out there.

I rode the BRP+Skyline Drive from Cherokee to DC at the beginning of May, and other than getting caught in a freak snowstorm my second day, it was one of my favorite rides I've ever done. It's easy to get into a kind of zen flow when you're the only one on a road like that.

Mercedes the company put a boatload of money into the German GP and lost a fair amount of it.

There can't be more than one GP with the same name, which is why we've had names like the Luxembourg, San Marino, European, Pacific GPs, etc.

The rest of the teams don't want to expand the grid because they believe it'll make their entries less valuable should any of the owners decide to sell.

Who on the grid does? Ferrari, Alpine, Honda, and Mercedes build engines, outside of that the rest of the teams are building tightly regulated cars. Andretti is one of the biggest names in American motorsport, they're attempting to bring in a new engine supplier and one of the biggest car companies in the world, and they have the money to do it. What more can be reasonably asked of them?
