Why would they do that?!? Is it a way to make sure people don't confuse the 899 with the 1199? To make it seem more lower-spec? Once they engineer the swingarm for the 1199 is it so much more expensive to fit it to the 899? The 748 shared the swingarm with the 916/996 and (unless I'm wrong) so did the 848 with the 1x98...  and  Single sided swing-arm is heavy = affects handling, plus more expensive to make. You're probably right in the 1199 bs 899 thing; they don't want to deter folks with deeper pockets from getting the 1199. |

from zoooms wapo article: "Police and elected officials maintain that it’s not about the money. The cameras have made roadways and school zones safer, they said." No shit, Sherlock! What else are they going to say? "Just give us your money pregnant doges!"  |

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

we will find a day to do enchiladas just for you guys. Perhaps a "rebuild the PVC frame for the lift" afternoon? Can be in the late fall or early spring. Also need to do a Ferrari drive somewhere between us for a winery day or something. |
