No specific breed. I found him when out on the XR in the woods when he was 3 or 4 weeks old. The jaw means that there’s some Pitbull or something like that in him, and he is a little terrie in behaviour, but no breed.

Curry and chips?

You now have someone to ride along at Hayabusa pace, if only he was closer.

It’s not a step through, it doesn’t protect your legs from rain or even hasn’t got little tires, it’s not a scooter, it’s a moped. I do like mopeds though

No soy milk at that place?

socks and sandals isn't normal!

You´re going out for lunch? THAT is what you can call going outside your boundaries, we'll be peeled for developments!

I would love a conspiracy and annoying section on the forum, way down next to ride reports where nobody goes -
Spending the day with Costa, early morning drive to the forest and walk. Then breakfast and now watching a little tv. His favourite person is away for a while and I’m the next best thing. Also the weather is iffy, don’t feel like going out on the bike at all, yesterday was enough.

My mechanic friend has a couple of clients that ride R60s like that all over the place, motorways and whatever, they clock out at an indicated 160kmh (substantially lower real speed you would assume) with real world practicality as long as you don't expect them to brake properly.
-
Indeed. I loved how it started easily and ticked over perfectly. Current owner bought it 40 years ago already with the current rust and dents in place. It's covered 30000km. Lovely thing. Edit: sorry, I thought you wrote R60. The R90 although cool isn't really my thing.

I repeat, you are responsible (not to the law, to yourself as in being responsible to what you're doing) when you're passing, more so when on a bike which is easily missed on mirrors. Nobody ever felt better when in a hospital bed saying "it's not my fault"

Not less likely, though. I know that is a serious sad story, but if you drive aggressively and properly heat up your brakes, to then park with the handbrake on you might be tempted to not pull the handbrake very hard to not put too much pressure on an already hot system. What happens is that as brakes cool off stuff starts to contract back to normal size and handbrake pads with pull away a little bit from the "bells" (don't know what you call the hubs, bells?), thus releasing the brakes. I learned about this in the Nurburgring, where after a summer afternoon a few cars parked on top of a downhill meadow found themselves 500m down a grass field.

Brum is Birmingham, that's all you need to know.

I know brum is Birmingham! It's a thing, and I maintain my original idea that it comes from dogging, Helen from Manchester, John from Swansea, James from Brum...

Is that an Indian guy laughing, funny you should post that.

You're responsible for your own safety when overtaking like that, not too close but the motorcyclist started closing back in without due attention. If you're riding a way faster vehicle than the one in front you assume the one in front doesn't know you're in a faster one. The error is in not buying a nice boxer 1200 with torque on tap to do that overtake safely in ignorant bliss. Buy a shit bike and you're still ignorant but clearly not in bliss anymore.

James might be, but "James from Brum" sounds wrong, in a dogging way
