Re: Joke of the day
There is news being released at last, about the long awaited new Bond film. The misogynistic attitudes from the origin of the franchise is (quite rightly imho) seen to be out of kilter with current attitudes. So instead it is being very much targeted towards a market that is influenced by the woke b...

Re: Will Automated vehicles mean the end of Motorbikes ?
I don't understand your argument. I thought you were suggesting that automated cars would make it too unsafe for motorcycles to share the road. Sort of, yes. If automated systems cannot be shown to be infallible in endangering motorcyclists, it seems more probable that it would be motorcycles that ...

Bloody hell Kk, that's a bit different from supplying fancy alcoholic beverages.! Playing to your natural strengths though, and could potentially be a far more rewarding occupation for you imho. Has your redundancy carrot reached a fixed date at last, or could it conceivably still be a while ? ( the...

Re: Will Automated vehicles mean the end of Motorbikes ?
Well thankfully the roads are safe now, because cars rely on human drivers. :? I'm not sure that's entirely relevant Kwacky ?? I was looking towards the possibility that the uptake of automated systems may have the (?? unforseen??) consequence of precluding motorcycles from being permitted to use t...

Re: Will Automated vehicles mean the end of Motorbikes ?
Is the suggestion that automated cars are going to find and kill bikers? My suggestion being, that if automated driving systems are to be adopted generally in cages (which seems probable), and if it is considered too risky for motorcycles to share the roads with automated driving vehicles (as indic...

Re: Adventure/Camping/Day Trip Gear
I've still got my old ( as in, much older than you mate) catering kit set. I think it's made by Tranjia. Am I recommending it for you ? - No, not really. Modern gas stoves are so cheap, easy and quick that there is no comparison really. Would I still use it myself ? -Actually yes.: There is somethin...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Last Saturday, so a full week away I took the YZ out for a run at Ashdown. Not been on it for a while, started to get over excited / confident! Anyway, fast right handed berm, I almost lost it, stuck my leg to to keep balance, leg dug in, body and bike carried on. Upshot, leg twisted backwards and ...

Chinese food!! Found a neat hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant...good food, if a tad pricey....but then again even McDonald's is pricey these days. And I have a birthday cake to plough through later, as I "reportedly" turned 57 today, although I deny any knowledge of this. The cake is hu...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Gave the sx a wash and quick polish. I haven't noticed the rust on the chain, so that got a good scrub and lube. The battery on the MV was flat. I had a bit of a panic when the Optimate didn't charge the battery. Thankfully the original MV charger worked, but there wasn't enough time to charge the ...
