^^^ 220+ HP....300lbs!!! Sounds amazing too IMO.


Always thought rotary/Wankel engines are cool, despite them not being very reliable. One of my best friends in HS had an RX7 turbo 2 and it was so fun to drive. Light and nimble. This bike is insane...that power/weight ratio is on par with million dollar MOTO GP bikes that are the fastest ever made in motocrcycles highest division. Wonder if materials advances have made anything yet for the 3 "points" on the actual rotor so that they don't wear down and lose compression? From my limited experience driving them, honestly I think Wankel engines are better suited to bikes than cars. They dont make much torque, but make hella HP at higher RPMs and spool up quickly like bike engines do. For the nerds like me/ engineers here, there are some interesting comments and replies on this video regarding technical changes and development. Looks like they are only building 25 of these though for about $100k each...

The first part to getting help is acknowledging you have a problem. I just bought my FIFTH Shimano Curado DC bait caster paired with a Temple Fork Outfitter Professional series rod (that’s the name not the grade of the rod). Ive got two grand in rods laying there just in those five bait casters. Not to mention the other four nice spinners I have also on TFO rods.

The wife just looks at me incredulously and says “can’t you just use one at a time?!” I’ve resorted to just smiling and shrugging now when she does it 🤷‍♂️

Locked in with a kingpin (I think it's called).

The kingpin is actually attached to the trailer and it couple's to the tractors fifth-wheel through a slot at the back of the fifth-wheel and is locked in place by a bar that slides in front to the kingpin. It is mad to not cone apart easily.

Saw somebody mention Pat Adams might be the ref for the Bama game today?? Sure hope not.

We have lost 4 straight (very poorly officiated) games when Adams is in charge....3 in a row when hes the guy AT TBA. We are always very tough to beat at home. This guy is so bad we cannot even win at home with him holding the whistle.

I really really hope this isnt the case. He could singlehandedly cost us the SEC title we have earned this season. This bama game is likely for all the marbles man. Oh well....GO VOLS

Off to a good start in Bammerland. All those cousinbreeders are fired up tonight though. This one is for all the marbles boys...SEC title right here. They didnt introduce the ref so I dont know if Adams is there to screw us blind...


Oh nevermind. I see the 2nd most important player on our team for this game IMO...Aidoo..just got whistled for a stupid reach in 2nd foul with only 4 minutes gone in the 1st half. We need him badly and he is probably gone for the 1st half now. Time for everyone else to step up guys GO VOLS

**NO worries though. If these inbreds start busting us up I will of course take 1 for the homies and change channels. Gotta hold down my VOL responsibility lol. We just went on a run to get out in front 21-12 though. ZZ has been surgical and Vescovi just dropped a 3. When we are hitting on ALL cylinders like this, we ARE the best team in the USA.

Welp...time for me to check out for the team again lol. We just missed at least 10 shots from the field in a row and let the gumps put a 12-0 run on us to take the lead by 2 headed into the half. This is the 1st time they have lead this game since they made the 1st basket to go up 3-0. Time for Knecht and Aidoo to take over. Dalton has had a good all around game but i think he only has 7 points and has missed every 3 pointer he has taken. I believe 0 for 3.

Lets GO VOLS!! WE got this.
