Twenty years ago I absolutely lusted after the Honda CB400N inline-4 sport bikes. Friend in Malaysia almost talked me into importing a handful of them. Just absolute little screamers ❤️

Truly. Conceptually at least, it’s the best motorcycle hauler ever made. Not to mention fond memories of my Dad driving me around in one when i was about 2 years old. ❤️❤️❤️

Legit feels very Seattle though. Form a committee and submit a 300 page report after three years is the only socially acceptable response to anything here

But where else am I going to store the 300 hours of vintage blues I lovingly burned to disc? Oh. Right-o, off to take my Geritol now.

Be great business for transmission shops in any city that isn’t perfectly flat. Gridlock traffic on an 11% grade sucks, and even my 15yo Mazda 5 minivan can do sub-10s?

Oof. Sorry you’re having to deal with that. I had really bad reactions to that one too

Wife and I bought all our daughters satin hair bonnets with enormously long ties for Christmas a few years back. They would 100% riot at the mere suggestion of not wearing them every night.

It’s wild. Town I grew up in had 50 students in the senior class in 1910. The school district folded in 1986 when there were but 7 students in the high school.
Because the school had all the senior photos up in the cafeteria, we understood even as small children we lived in a shrinking world

I call Kootenai County “Tax Evasion County” because of all the biz execs declaring residency there to avoid capital gains taxes here. Really noticeable on the exotic cars rolling through downtown Seattle with Idaho ‘K’ plates.

Reasonable. I can almost see SeaTac from my backyard and still wish I could fly through another airport sometimes

QOTD: What car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?
Motorcycle in my case, and did own it for a year. 1993 Ducati 900 Supersport. Ran less a mile total under its own power the year I owned it and cost me about 5500 before I sold it and was just done
