Balding Aussie boy just came back from an acl repair in 3 months and fuckin waxed the field like Mr Miyagi. Beast mode got relegated to giving up mx and picking up flipping burgers at in n out. The amount of body lotion I have rubbed on myself looking at my hunter brother posters after the race today is honestly off the charts.

It is not a plus. Many of our sales come from people who just bought a new bike. We do have sales from people upgrading, but once they've upgraded, they're set. If they buy new bikes less frequently because of higher costs, then there are less bikes out there to upgrade and therefore fewer sales. We now see far fewer sales to countries that have imposed retaliatory tariffs.

To add something useful, I work in sales at one of the largest Honda dealerships in North America. The last bit of news I saw on it was that motorcycles, at the very least off road, will not be included. But these things seem to change day to day as the people behind the curtain argue over it and I've learned you can...
