Dark side derision

The angle of the Dangle

And the square of the Hair

Divided by the heat of the Meat

Equals the cube of the Tube!

Dark side derision

Hey, I have a car GPS on my Nomad, does that mean I am doomed to get lost??

Can you use the same air for car tires that you use for motorcycles?

If you put a NASCAR tire on a motorcycle, will it only turn left?

If you put a motorcycle tire on a car, does that mean you can scrape the doors in corners? (I would actually like to see a motorcycle tire on a car)

These are the real questions I would like answered!! :)

1. Yes, the GPS will cause you to get lost in worse places.

2. No, you must always use motorcycle air even if using a car tire!

3. Yes, except for when you use the tires they use for the road courses.

4. Yes, but some people have learned to do this with car tires also.

These are real answers for your real questions.

This is pretty interesting. A nice close video of a car tire in action on a Goldwing.

That is a cool video. I would like to see a good quality video like that at highway speeds, or taming the Dragon. I actually took this video into account when I decided to go to the Dark Side. But honestly, the help I got from the members here is what really put me over the edge. I am glad I did too.
