Without a common love of two wheelers where would we be? When I used to race you saw everyone from green haired punks, pimple faced kids, grey headed white collar types, hard ass tattoo brothers, even bible thumping evangelists. We all put on our leathers, saddled up and went balls out for a chromed plastic trophy, but back in the pits we shared water, laughed, helped wrench on each others bikes, and never

Even thought about calling each other out on lifestyle or creedo...

Perhaps you were talking about someone else.

Perhaps...

Yea well that was then and this is now, pops.... Don't get me wrong, I loved to argue on here as well, but I don't remember telling anyone that they were "morons" or "sheep" for believing what they did. I'd put up a ridiculously adamant defense for what I believed in though...

Agree 100%.
However, very few people on forums are ever face to face. Completely changes attitudes, IMO.

Truth man! Eye to eye makes a difference, tho it shouldnt really.

back on topic, Nissan announces truck and mini van recalls today. It is the new face of manufacturer accountability. Your simply not 'IN' unless you have an embarrassing piece of engineering to flaunt...

There are recalls all the time. Mostly they fly under the radar since only those affected really care. Because the media lacks any real imagination and they smell blood in the water with Toyota's issues they are circling any similar story like sharks. In another 3 months they will realize recalls that don't result in fiery deaths make for boring stories and drop the issue.

Actually I'm glad they're covering Nissan and Ford. Maybe it will force the public to finally wake up and realize that recalls are an everyday thing, and that Toyota isn't special.

Well hopefully BEFORE they totally destroy what little consumer confidence there is left...

You have little clue what you are talking about. My Malibu has 3times better steering feel then a Mini will ever have.

The reason electric P/S is used is for better fuel economy. And an upside as well is that you can control the steering assist in a non-linear fashion based upon vehicle speed and braking inputs. You simply cannot do that with conventional p/s.

I can guarentee that GM did not "wait" for a disaster to put out a recall. This was in the works for years. Knowing how most car companies operate, they wait until the government gets involved and forces them to recall something or force a recall themselves if the cost to replace X number of units in the field later on will be too excessive.
