CB500X? Although that will probably not offer any improvements over what you've already got, Pete. Some reviewers are saying that the differences they've made to the 2022 model have improved it, but I'd need convincing of that. As I've said before, you could find it a bit top-heavy.

Sorry @Clive, I fell off the wagon, but I promise to straighten myself out again.

Form an orderly queue!

It's French, Pete!

Yeah, I guess that they would clash with your bike slippers?

Or this?

A man of your age needs something like this, Pete!

Possibly due to more testing? My eldest son works in a pharmacy in the UK and he says that they only get a few lateral flow kits every day and they're gone not long after they open in the morning. They put a sign in the window to say that they've no kits left, but they still get a steady stream of people going in and asking for them!

Holy shit, I'll have to think twice about letting a surgeon operate on me if there's that kind of risk! Imagine all those operating theatre staff in hospitals all over the world passing out due to oxygen starvation and inhalation of CO2! It's frightening! Or I could just ignore the rantings in a right-wing shit rag? Hmm.....tough one!

Same here, Pete, even in crowded outdoor spaces, like town centres, etc. Wearing a mask for a few minutes in a shop or town centre is no big deal for me. I used to have to wear one all day when I was working in hospitals and even that wasn't a problem.

France.

Reversing sensors done old skool!

There was a time when I probably would have chased him down to have a word, but years of doing a reasonable amount of driving with work taught me that it rarely has the desired affect. These days I just notch it up as an indication that my riding skills haven't deteriorated to the point that I should find a safer hobby yet!

The Tiger 850 is a bit more road oriented? I'd be interested on @Sofia thoughts on it?

I never realised that you had so many near cleaning experiences, Pete! I think that you'd give the Missenden Flyer a run for his money, although he does have 2 buckets for washing his bikes, labelled shampoo and clean! So you've a way to go yet!

Nope, definitely a bloke. Probably been in the cafe knocking back the wine all lunchtime!

The bike nearly got dirty! Shock horror!
