I think about the road often when I am in a cage…On 4 wheels scurrying off to meetings. Rushing to the next event, trying to just get “there on time”. I glance at the intersections I pass so quickly in a leap to make the next deadline, and as I pass these untraveled roads I always wonder – Where does it go. Have I been down it yet? What will I see? I wonder where I could end up. Now that the colors of the new season are showing and we start to think about the winter months. Which are probably the most dreaded for bikers…I look back at all the rides I did this last spring and summer. What an amazing riding season we have had – and it’s not over! I am grateful that Tankside and our team has been to Hells Canyon in Baker City, OR, Mt. Shasta, CA, San Francisco, CA, and the HWY 101 from the Bay to Oregon. Tankside was also at the: Tri-State HOG Rally, Rally in the Valley. Tankside also supported numerous fundraisers including the Wounded Warriors Project, The V-Twin Project, the Brass Balls Run (a ride benefiting testicular cancer research), The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, The Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride (a global ride benefiting prostate cancer research), and The Motorcycle Travel America Foundation (a foundation helping fallen riders) to name a few. It has all-in-all been a great riding season during Tankside’s inaugural year. You have read about many of these rides from our Tankside Team on these pages, on our website and have shared them on your social media. Each of you has contributed to the success of Tankside. Next month we will be sharing with you some of the fan mail Tankside has been getting. We will also be sharing with you more about the Tankside DamTour and dedicating space in each edition to the
amazing self-guided motorcycle tour that has become legendary. As we mentally prepare for the winter months and the stress it causes our free spirit, I would like to take the opportunity to invite each of you to submit a story. Tell us about your best ride this year, or favorite charity ride. It was the 75th Anniversary for Sturgis, was it your first time there, or your millionth? Tell us about it. Did you get your first motorcycle, or you’re ninth – what does riding mean to you? Please email these stories to melanie@tankside.com send a few photos of you on your epic journey. Tankside is our publication, by bikers, for bikers – ALL bikers (and those who love us)! Sharing our journey is what we do as a motorcyclist, we at Tankside are grateful to have a trusted platform for you to share. Deadlines for submissions are third Thursday of each month. Also, if you have an event coming up, please feel free to post it on our website. We offer a free online community calendar that can sync with most digital calendar platforms. We look forward to hearing from you soon and sharing your story on these pages! Your Sister in the Wind Melanie Davis Owner/Publisher Tankside

tral lands. In the mountains, dusk comes early and I started to look for a possible campsite or a spot on the side of the road to pitch a tent for the night. At first, I came across a campground called ‘Two Shadows’ and stopping there, spoke to two shadows who had stayed in that place too long. “Its just us two!” The Two Shadows said, but I went quickly on my way, not wishing to linger in that dark abiding place for too long. I stopped at a small diner to ask for directions and was warmly greeted by two Bosnian riders on BMW’s

enough to have children born here. Long enough to want to travel this wide country on motorcycles. We are a study in contrasts, my fellow sojourners and I. I packed three t-shirts, an extra pair of jeans and a toothbrush. By comparison, they brought everything with them. Slobodan says, “We packed like immigrants!” Which is to say they packed everything including the kitchen sink. A common practice for us. In anticipation or as an antidote to uncertainty. It is in our DNA this uncertainty. Gets encoded permanent-like into our immigrant genes. Even passed down to our children and their children’s children. My bike is not ready and President Milosevich and Prédo have gone on ahead. I will need to find a place to stay and wait out the coming night. The morning is cold. And there is rain on the horizon ahead. The Road to the Sun was closed yesterday due to a 2000 acre fire. I will not be able to visit Glacier National Park. This happens. The road shifts and you are redirected elsewhere. I am now on HWY 90 going 90 miles per hour on an 80 MPH Speed Limit. I catch up with the rain which feels at this speed like small needles piercing your face and hands. Someone asked me if the bike was comfortable. The simple answer is no. But that is not the question. The interesting thing is our expectation that we should always be comfortable. It is a kind of entitlement. Once you let go of this idea, the road, the journey becomes not only bearable but enjoyable. In spite of the 80 mile per hour winds or the rain or the hail. The truth is this discomfort is important and essential to the journey. It is a clarifying force which is both instructive and necessary. Leaving Butte on my way to Billings to try to catch up with the BMW Motorcycle Rally and a couple of immigrants. And so it goes.... The truth is. The truth is that whenI first came upon President Milosovic, he was lost in the wilderness. And having trespassed into bear territory, I came upon him wrestling a black bear in a hidden Montana meadow. Prédo, his trusted friend, looked on from a distance. Prepared to intervene with a cup of coffee should things become too earnest between Fred the Bear and the President. Ultimately the President and the Bear became tired of fighting and accepted Prédo’s kind offer of coffee and Quince Cheese. Followed thereafter by a more civil game of chess. It was agreed that if the bear won, he would get to eat the President, thereby getting to fulfill his goal of tasting ‘Bosnian Immigrant.’ If the President were to be victorious, the safe passage had been guaranDON QUIXOTE | C ontinues to page 5

teed for him and Prédo. Fortunately for me when Continued from page 4 I came upon this motley group, the game had been called for the Bosnian entourage and Fred, being a bear of his word, was peacefully eating the last piece of Quince. Before we left, the President insisted on a selfie with Fred, the Bear as a memento for his travels. Here they are together: President Milosovich and Don Quixote Ride again Things you learn on the road: 1. Sometimes the road you choose is not the road you take... 2. You want to be right? Or you want to be happy?! 3. Whenever possible stop for coffee. 4. It is always possible! 5. The destination cannot be met without the journey 6. The road holds, in waiting, medicine for you... 7. There is the machine and then there is the will of the man! 8.

So we accelerate from 60 to 85 to 100 and then 120. And the turbulence you create is equal to hurricane force winds. And you realize that the hurricane did not suddenly come upon you. But that you invited it at the twist of the throttle. And you suddenly realize that you are the storm become. You are the wild tornado tearing across the Crazy Mountains on your fire breathing iron beast. And we are the storm, become... We finally arrive in Billings Montana and find the BMW Motorcycle Rally. We set up camp and make our way through throngs of riders. We are not in Kansas anymore and I have to adjust to the frenetic energy of this place. We walk around admiring other riders’ bikes and study how they have adapted their machines for their journeys. Mine is not set up for cross country travel. Compared to the others I am ill-prepared for the trip. No fairing to soften the blow of the wind or the elements. Everything I have, including a tent and sleeping bag, are in two small Wixom saddlebags made in the 70’s. Still. I would not have it any other way. There is the machine and then there is the will of the man. In the morning, President Milosevich and I say goodbye to Prédo over a two-hour long coffee! Prédo
has decided to stay behind an extra day. It is onward and forward for us. We have miles and miles to go before we sleep. We arrived at 4:05 in the morning, President Milosovich, and I. Into the City of Broad Shoulders, windblown and haggard from an 800-mile day in the rain and the sun. Seventeen hours straddled on this fire-breathing beast is a long time in perpetual motion. So that you have to get your ground legs under you. The buzzing of eighty-mile air against your ears for 800 miles leaves your ears buzzing for a night and a day. You walk somnambulant from your borrowed room to the toilet to the sink to the shower to relieve yourself of 2400 miles of road and grime. Your eyes have become red desiccated things which register light and shadows both but no discernible form. Your brother who kindly receives you at 4 in the morning is a form and familiar voice. Its ‘ok’ you say to yourself. The form notwithstanding, the substance is the same. You regress to your appointed room and take off your borrowed clothes and borrowed words and drop into a bed which does not give way completely but just enough. And you speak to the buzzing in your ears in gratitude for the safe passage. “To be Continued...” -Don Quixote

have seen many changes in my lifetime since watching the assassination (and funeral) of our much beloved President Kennedy in 1963—my first clear memory of the world around me. Television, and now the Internet, brought the world to me. We watched the evening news every night at home; we discussed the events of the day including some very heated debates when my siblings and I clashed in our opinions with our parents. None however, was more divisive than the recreational use of marijuana—which at that time and still in many states and countries today was illegal. That all changed here in Oregon last year when the majority in our state voted to legalize recreational marijuana for adults. When I look back 40 years, I think about my senior year of high school, where my main pass time included smoking marijuana on a regular basis and those heated discussions with my mother related to the legalization of marijuana. On October 1, the existing medical marijuana dispensaries will begin selling up to 7 grams of cannabis flower to adults, tax-free—until January 4, and then a 25 percent tax begins. The licenses for those medical marijuana dispensaries last until December 31, 2016. Additionally, the state will be issuing processing licenses to medical processors that make infused products. The state is developing the rules and regulations through the OLCC. Eventually, there will be two separate systems: the medical system and the recreational system. The OLCC is working on the regulations to see how the medical marijuana growers can provide to OLCC stores, and how OLCC stores can provide medical marijuana tax-free to patients. Medical marijuana dispensaries are either going to want to have both licenses—medical through the Oregon Health Authority, and recreational through the OLCC—and some may decide to stick only with medical. The recreational system is not replacing the medical system, but there will be some overlap. During the past few months, the Oregon legislature has been very busy refining Measure 91 and its implementation state wide. Portland Norml, a local nonprofit (http://portlandnorml.org/) has a wealth of information related to those changes and I highly recommend making sure you know what is and is not legal in Oregon. As a business professional, I wrestled over how I might best serve this new budding (pun intended) industry here in Oregon. Questions such as, “Could I lose my CPA license?” had to be answered. After months of research into the pros and cons of taking on clients in the Legal Marijuana Industry, we are PROUD to announce the launch of Rainbow Business Services. Rainbow Business Services seeks to help folks in this new industry to be wildly successful in their endeavors. There are new regulations to be navigated and as the industry begins to be accepted as mainstream, the back room and dark alley dealings will be a thing of the past. Need more info.?

over on the high side
ROBBIE MADDISON, PART 1 By Steven Glickman, Tankside
R
obbie Maddison is an Australian stunt rider, famous for the longest motorcycle jump ever. He jumped to the top of a building in Las Vegas and then jumping back off the building to return to the ground. Riding down a bobsled track and then jumping off a ski jump, and riding his bike into the ocean and surfing on his bike. All of his stunts utilize his expert level of physical skill and control of his motorcycle. All his famous stunts have one thing in common. None of them can be performed slowly or allow for stopping. In all cases, he had to physically commit 100%. He left himself no other option. If he stopped in the ocean, he’d have sunk. Once he started down the ski jump, he had to perform the stunt at high speed or he’d crash. The other thing all these amazing stunts have in common is that they are reliant on a sense that most people are not aware of. Yes, we have more than five senses. And this sense, which Robbie has developed to the absolutely highest level, is Proprioception. If you’re wondering what that is, it’s the sense that allows you to know where your hand is, even if your eyes are closed. It’s what makes it possible to close your eyes and touch your finger to your nose. It’s a discrete sense you have that doesn’t taste, touch, smell, sight, or hearing. I learned all about it in a book written by Oliver Sacks, famed brain expert (Google him). An example of Robbie’s unsurpassed proprioception is when he jumped off the building in his Las Vegas stunt. When Robbie landed on the ramp on his way back down to Earth, his rear tire started to lose traction, sliding out forward and to his left. In almost all cases of this happening, what should happen next is that the rear tire should soon quickly decelerate, stopping the travel of the bike but not the momentum of the rider. Immediately following that, the rider should experience what’s known as a “high side” crash. For a single vehicle crash, short of hitting a brick wall, this is one of the worst types of crashes. The rider, depending on the speed he or she is traveling before
the crash, is thrown high off the motorcycle. Not only is there the possibility of the kind of injuries you might experience in a “low side” crash. Where the bike slides out from under you. But you are also going to fall back down to the ground and risk broken body parts. This risk is increased drastically and in direct relation to the speed you were going preceding the crash. But Robbie didn’t crash. Much the same way a cat rights itself in midair to land on its feet. Robbie managed to straighten himself out and continue smoothly off the ramp and into the arms of the most patient and understanding girlfriend on the planet. There probably aren’t more than a handful of riders in the world who could have avoided that crash. Robbie Maddison himself probably should have crashed. What was his secret? How did he do it? I have no idea. Could you do it? No. A big fat NO. I don’t know if there is any way to learn to do what Robbie did. He has almost superhuman natural ability and a ridiculous amount of experience. So if one can’t do any of this, or has no expectation of being able to learn, nor can they even begin to describe any of the techniques Robbie Maddison used, then why even write about it? The reason is that Robbie Maddison is the most extreme end of the spectrum of physical motorcycle riding ability. It takes that extreme of an example to take you out of the range of riding that is primarily successfully done, and done safely, because of your mental abilities. Those abilities can be learned and taught. So while Robbie Maddison is really fun to watch (seriously, go on YouTube and watch every video he has because he is amazing!!!). Almost all the riding you’ll ever do on the road is fun and possible to do with a high degree of safety, PHOTOS BY STEVEN GLICKMAN because of what’s going on between your left ear and your right ear. This is essentially what the Safety Corner is about. The goal is always to discuss riding skills based on concepts and ideas you can learn. In fact, while a certain amount of physical skill is required to ride a motorcycle, the physical actions you perform aren’t that complicated or demanding. The mental part is more difficult, but you can learn strategies, which I’ll discuss in Part 2.

To recap -- Our Hero skids the back wheel then lets go, causing the bike to high-side and flicking the rider off, I believe the phrase was, ‘like a booger’. The moral of the tale is, Don’t Lock Up Your Back Wheel In A Panic Stop. A couple of our instructors out at the school are crusty old motor cops; between them they’ve probably investigated, I don’t know, a thousand wrecks. They say the classic motorcycle wreck looks like a hundred feet of rear wheel skid, with a busted up bike at the end of it where the rider impacted. It’s pretty clear these riders hit that back brake too hard and didn’t apply enough front brake. If most of these riders with the ‘hundred feet of rear skid marks’ had used their brakes right, they would have probably stopped event-free and unscathed. But they panicked and did the Wrong Thing. I got a great email from a student last year -- she’d come and taken the course down at the school and decided to take the scenic route home. She said she’d come over a hill on a country road and there was an overturned log truck and logs all over the road. She’d just spent four days and countless hours stopping a bike in a hurry and she just did what she’d been practicing. She got stopped, I felt good about the email. She probably felt better about getting stopped in time, frankly. You should practice too. Here’s how to do it. Find an empty stretch of decent pavement, the longer, the better. Set up an object (doesn’t matter what it is, an old boot, a traffic cone, your backpack) somewhere towards one end of the lot. That’ll be your breaking point. Leave lots of runout space on the far end. Go to the other end of the lot, and drive towards your braking point. Get yourself up to a steady speed. Drive past your breaking point. As your front tire goes by it, press on the rear brake. Apply a smooth, firm, linear squeeze to your front brake lever to transfer the weight of the bike forward onto that front wheel. The heavier it gets, the more you can squeeze. Now, as you’re decelerating, begin releasing the pressure on the rear so as not to skid the rear wheel, but keep increasing the pressure on the front. Keep your eyes up. Come to a complete stop. Put your foot down. This is for motor memory -- it’s a

stopping exercise. Teach your brain and body that this is how you stop. If you’re skidding your back wheel, it means you need to back off more on the rear brake. If you’re stopping long, it probably means you’re not squeezing the front brake enough. Lots of people stop squeezing about halfway to the bar, but you want to keep squeezing more and more throughout the stop. Your stops should get shorter and shorter the more comfortable you get with the thing. SAFETY LECTURE: Don’t grab a big handful of front brake and yank. If you apply too much front brake before the weight has had a chance to transfer forward to the front wheel, you could skid the front wheel. A skidding front wheel is an Immediate Disaster; you’ve got maybe half a second to let go of the front brake and if you don’t, you’ll likely go down. If you think your front wheel is skidding, let go of the front brake. This is practice -- there’s no reason to hurt yourself practicing how not to get hurt. Every time you start a braking run, think to yourself: “I could lock up my front wheel.” Again, if you even think it might be sliding, do yourself a favor. Let go, relax, go back up and take another run at it. No reason to get hurt. If your back wheel slides at higher speeds, like say above fifteen or twenty miles an hour, the rear end will start fishtailing a bit. This isn’t a disaster -you can still balance the bike with the handlebars. We all did this as kids, right? Skidded our back bicycle wheels for fun, and look, we’re all still alive. But if you let go of the rear brake while the back wheel is slid out to one side, or the other, it’ll regain traction pointed a different direction from the front wheel. You could high-side and that’s also a disaster. So don’t lock up your rear wheel, but if you do, just leave it locked and slide to a stop. There’s no reason to get hurt. Start at a fairly low speed -- 25mph is plenty for starters. Work up to higher speeds. This is a thing that takes practice -- a day is about right to get the feel for it. It’ll take more time to get it really right. Don’t push things. Keep squeezing that front brake more and more. It’s amazing how fast a modern bike can stop with the right technique. Even if you don’t quite get stopped in time, it’s much better to hit something going slowly than it is going fast, right?

It’s a Groovy Ride with Lady Fred
LOBO AND WYATT RIDE A DIFFERENT RIDE
E
very year I plan a trip to the UP, as us Michiganders refer to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Mackinaw Bridge, also known as, the Mighty Mac or the Big Mac, is a 5-mile suspension bridge that connects the Lower Peninsula to the UP. I love riding bridges and LOVE riding the Mighty Mac. Fun fact ... those of us that live under the bridge are called Trolls and those that live above the bridge are called Yoopers. Shortly after returning from Sturgis I went to the UP to see a lover from 20 years ago. The trip was delayed due to Lobo having a dead battery. The next day I was only able to knock out 150 miles before becoming very sick. I had a 450-mile ride the following day to his place near Crystal Falls, arriving at sunset. It rained the entire 2 days I was there. Although we didn’t get to ride, it was nice to catch up with each other and chill. It was still raining when I left and I was about 2 hours from his place in Escanaba, the largest town on US-2 when Lobo started coughing, losing power and the engine light came on. I darted into a gas station that just happen to be right there. Gas stations are sparse in the UP with most towns having around 200 residence. I felt very lucky he acted up right then and not sooner and the rain had stopped. Thinking I might have bad gas, I topped him off. I quickly discovered he was only running on one jug. I decided to find a hotel and then look for help. If I were going to be down, at least I would have a place to stay. I noticed Cycle City Honda-Artic Cat while sitting at a light. Knowing I could run non-Harley plugs, I limped over there. I was hopeful it was just a fouled plug. The guys changed out my plugs, but that was not the solution. He passed the spark and compression test which meant he wasn’t getting fuel. They were not able to do anything more for him. They did not charge me for the plugs or their service saying they wanted me to know that there are good people in the UP and they help anyone. I told them I already knew that that is why I love coming to the UP. =) As luck would have it, my 1st Savior Stan, owner of Brickhouse Motorcycles,
TANKSIDE.COM
the ONLY Harley mechanic on the 400 mile stretch of US-2, was right in the next town and gave my boys a tow. The ECM (computer brains) tripped and the code said my Turn Signal Module was bad. That didn’t make any sense. He didn’t have one in stock would have to order one. I opted to find a tow. Snow Queen, my 2nd Savior, who is a Stiletto on Steel club sister, another Women’s Riding group I belong too, was able to give me a tow. I was on my way to see her when I broke down. It was a long day arriving at her place at 3:00 am, we were both exhausted. I was thankful to be below the Might Mac in Indian Rivers, much closer to home. My 3rd Savior, Proc a friend of mine for 20 yrs and his friend Rat, arrived the following day and towed my boys to his place in Big Rapids. Another long day arriving at sunset. My 4th Savior, Brian, my mechanic and owner of American Iron in Jenison arrived the next morning. There was only enough room for Lobo, so I had to leave Wyatt behind. Brian was kind enough to go out of his way and gave me a ride home too. The ECM showed that his fuel injectors had gone bad. This made more sense. He replaced them and I was off and running, that is for 24 miles and he acted up again. Brain came and picked us up, taking me home yet again. Again the ECM said the Fuel injectors were bad, so he replaced the ECM. I was only able to ride 100 miles before leaving on my 55th Bday Adventure, which I am on right now! =) Every year I take a 6 to 8-week road trip and celebrate it ‘somewhere’. So far we have traveled 450 miles and haven’t had any problems. My 5th Savior, Mike a friend of Procs, towed Wyatt home and had a big surprise for me, my GF of 20 years, Sarah was with him! It was so awesome to see her! It was a VERY ugly sight to see my boys on a trailer and I hope I never have to see it again. It wasn’t the journey I had planned, but as the saying goes, it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. =) It was very heart warming to see how total strangers and friends were there to help us out in our time of need. Blessings all the way!!!

I’M NOT THE BITCH ON THE BACK: PART 2 By Patti Potter
T
he second and last part of a story begun in the August edition of Tankside. Hot Springs Arkansas was my next destination. Again no disrespect meant for anyone in Arkansas, but I was really disappointed in the Hot Springs National Park. It is right downtown and consists of five or six old bathhouses that no longer operate and a short spin around a tower on the mountain. The good thing about Arkansas is the great riding in the North West and the Harley Dealer in Little Rock. Gypsy needed a service. They took me right in, gave me the VIP treatment and sent me on my way with a top notch service. Great place to stop if you’re on the road and need anything. Oklahoma and Texas were a challenge. Tornados, flooding and severe weather everywhere. Did manage to dodge the worse of it but rode two days in the rain and had to change my route a couple times. Weather apps on your phone are absolute life, savers. If you can’t get a Wi-Fi or 3g signal, find the nearest McDonalds. You don’t even have to go in, their free Wi-Fi reaches the parking lot. Other lessons learned with constant rain. Leather saddle bags are not waterproof. Got large zip lock bags and “Space Bags” to put everything in. Worked well. Also, leather gloves get soaked and your hands freeze. Bought a pair of large Playtex gloves, the kind they use for dishes, and slipped them over my gloves. Hands stayed dry and toasty. The rest of my time has been spent in New Mexico, Arizona, southern Colorado and Utah, southeast Nevada, California and I am currently on the coast of Oregon. I was in New Mexico over Memorial Day and spent it at the New Mexico State Park, Angle Fire Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This is a very powerful place, especially if you are a veteran or lost someone in the military. I Vietnam Vet friend of mine was supposed to travel with me to the Memorial this year. He passed in October. I took his picture with me and left it at the altar in the Chapel. Eddie made it to Angle Fire. Not the way he wanted, but he made it. New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah have so many must ride roads and places to see that I had to force myself to leave. The places that really stick
out to me are Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah and Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. There are no words to adequately describe the beauty of the landscape or that what I call “pucker factor” of the roads. I know that the only words that came out of my mouth on several occasions were “holy shit”. Now California is a mixed bag. Again, no disrespect intended. Went through the Mojave Desert. Now my idea of a good time is not being baked at 107 degrees with nothing but sand and small bushes scattered around. I am definitely not a desert person. I do believe I have found the twin sister to the Million Dollar Hwy in Colorado. It is in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. I had never heard of this park until I found it on the map. Yosemite National Park floored me. I do not consider myself an overly emotional person, but this place brought tears to my eyes. Could not even utter my standard “holy shit”. My Gypsy acquired an additional name outside of Yosemite. Had stopped at a scenic overlook and met a very interesting older man. Very nice guy. We talked a bit about Yosemite and he informed me he was a shaman and he wanted to give me a blessing. I gladly accepted as you can never have too many blessings when your ride on two. He looked at my scoot and told me he had a name for her too and would like to bless her. He said she reminded him of a White Eagle so she is now Gypsy the White Eagle. Since starting on May 7th, I have traveled 11,174 miles, been in 14 states and toured 41 National Parks and National Monuments So far I have learned so much on this journey. Sporks (spoon on one end and fork on the other) come in very handy and take up virtually no room. Pack everything in plastic bags as leather saddle bags are not waterproof. Playtex gloves are great waterproofing for leather gloves and I must be an International Model or an odd duck. People from France, Holland, Australia, England, Indonesia, Japan and a few Americans have asked if they could take my photo. My greatest realization to date though, is how fortunate I am to live in a country where I am free to live my dream. That I am comfortable with myself and perfectly content to be riding solo seeing America, and I can do this on the seat of Gypsy the White Eagle.

BUICK REGAL GS: A WOLF DISGUISED AS A SHEEP
By Roger Rivero
W
hen you test more than 50 vehicles a year, you are overcome with a certain feeling of guilt when recounting the ones you have not enjoyed driving. And some might think that our opinions are tainted by the attentive eye of the manufacturers, and the chance of angering them and losing the privilege of receiving more cars of the brand. Couldn’t be farther from the truth. My biggest disappointment this year was on board the new Acura TLX V6. Some other models have fallen short of expectations, but overall, in the U.S. today, no bad cars are sold, only some better than others. It’s a very competitive market, and manufacturers strive to improve their product every day. The test car this week, is a Buick Regal GS. It impressed me with its exterior design, but, not having driven a car from this brand in years. I dragged myself through the clichés that are often heard, and I expected a mediocre driving experience, at best. Was I wrong! The exterior of the Buick with modern lines and sophisticated styling was the first surprise. The interior with premium materials, easy to understand tools and clean design, the second. On to the driving test. The Regal GS is a sporty sedan that flaunts its condition. Surprisingly agile, with precise driving response. The 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is astonishingly efficient when it demands power. The 259 horses very well used by the 6-speed automatic transmission (manual transmission also available for the GS). Under no conditions in our test week did this car feel short of power.
18 | October 2015
Our Buick came equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) and electronic limited slip differentials on the rear. Driving the Regal in narrow and twisty roads was enjoyable. Sporty handling without sacrificing control on the road. At every moment, I tried to compare it with any of the German sedans that I had driven. Then l I discovered the Regal is based on a popular car that GM sells in Europe, the Opel Insignia. From there, it gets the attributes, style and driving dynamics that allow it to decently boast the “sport” category. With good fuel economy (19/27) and an excellent score in crash tests, the price is one of the only pitfalls I found while describing the Regal to curious friends and neighbors. With a base price close to 40K ($39,810 to be exact) this is not a cheap car. However, considering the standard features that it brings: like 19-inch alloy wheels, front seats and steering wheel heating, Bose sound system, among many other features. It is not misplaced in the category of “Premium” sports sedans without being luxurious. Sure there are (very strong) competitors that are worth a look before making a purchase decision. Among them, the Acura TLX V4, Volvo S60 T5, and the BMW 3 series. With all the cards on the table, the Regal GS costs several thousand dollars less than competitors with similar equipment. It would not be objective if I did not acknowledge my joy of driving a car of this quality, knowing that it is domestically produced. Buick has invested heavily in changing its image. My only annoyance throughout the week, was having to explain to many non-believers ... “Yes, ... it’s a Buick.” More about cars: youtube.com/AtutomotrizTV
