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.

I had to clear the app cache and local storage before it would work. Cache alone didn't work.

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

Liftoff hasn't acknowledged me as logged in when voting or commenting for the last day, despite showing it on my user tab. I'm assuming that's related to the recent hack, but I've tried clearing the cash, logging in and out, and restarting the app with no success.

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.

Welcome! (self.trackdays)

Welcome racers, track rats, novices, and anyone else interested in jumping down the rabbit hole of motorcycle track days! I created this community for users jumping ship from Reddit and hoping to find a companion to /r/trackdays; the list of organizations and resources in the sidebar was partially taken from the subreddit, with the full support of the mods. Here's to a welcoming place to discuss anything and everything related to track prep, riding, and racing!
