    I understand the appeal especially with sports car, but I guess I’m just lazy and like the comfort.
    Absolutely nothing wrong with that! You like what you like and if it works from you, I won’t say word one against it! It’s just not for me.

    Thumper grocery getter - eggs and Wegmans sushi stuffed in the bag last night. The new Dunlop Mutant tires have lots of stick, even with temps in the teens (Fahrenheit) and salt brine sprayed on the roads.

    I love that you ride one of these. Makes me grin.

    Oh, I feel that. Since getting my car and becoming more comfortable with the height and the sight lines (surprisingly, much better than my brother’s S5 Sportback, which has four doors), I have been driving so much more aggressively than I have in a couple of years. It’s like I had forgotten how much fun driving can be.

    The KTM is a hooligan machine, the nice thing is that the reasonable power means everything happens at much lower speeds vs my sport bikes.

    Weather was nice yesterday, out on the Monster.

    That is really not much ground clearance for off road. There was a review on this about a year ago and many mentions of bottoming out. Off road needs a double digit number with the more the better.

    A friend of mine just got a Cadillac Lyric. It confirmed it would be the only electric vehicle I would consider if they bump the range up another 100 miles, Price seems fair, it is well built and handles great, charges fairly fast, and is very quick. The ride mixes sport with luxury, seats are great and easily accommodate longer range. Build quality and paint meet or exceed any vehicle i've ever had. I've not had the best luck with GM vehicles, but would take a chance on this ones.
    Cheers,
