That’s great news, indefinite in France means infinite if you want to and don’t murder someone in the company. Hope you’re liking working there!

My brother is trying his hardest to catch covid, last week it was Macedonia, then Zagreb and Bucharest for a few days. Everyone there at his office had a bad flu or covid, he had the sniffles. Since he’s ok now he went to China

That’s what you get with such exclusive machines, same experience as buying a Ferrari really

Monkey?

KTM dirt bike!

If it does, @boboneleg, for god's sake don´t put vaseline on it!

Come on, you’re just teasing Pete!

Does it stiffen up when you have strawberry ice cream?

You would think the easier way would be to cap torque on electric cars.

I’ve seen the Japanese videos of them winter camping on motorcycles, they set up a tent, a stove, and then proceed to cook a 5 course meal

ABS fuse?

He would love to stab himself in the eyes, probably, if it took him away from his drama

I slept in an Opel Astra a few times, and a VWGolf, it’s shit. I did it because I got lost in norway and wasn’t carrying a tent. Also slept a power nap in my racecar a few times, driving through the night, in a race bucket seat, that was properly miserable but not as miserable as when a passenger in my brother’s car, that made me want to stop living. On a bike in winter I like hotels with hot shower, a cozy quiet bed after a warm meal and wine. Covered shelter for the bike is advised but not mandatory

Even with winter tires?

I would love that, for a long weekend at home, then get sick of it

Almost managed a similar one earlier today, but fumbling with my phone took forever and my dog didn't contribute to the ducks not starting to walk towards the water

I once drove at near 40kmh next to one running through a tomato field, he kept a steady speed going that fast. Felt really fast for a pig that size.

Indeed, he got tired and waited them out

I went when I was 9, really loved the big dinosaur bones they had at the entrance.

They also still have Elvis in Vegas

On more interesting news, Costa is outraged at the two doves on the chimney

Consumables like tires and brake stuff is just nonsense, from a practical standpoint. But overly burocratic countries like Portugal have a way of being too restrictive on legislation to a place where legislation does not connect with the real world.

I properly laughed at that

The way it's been implemented in Portugal is that you have to have different test lanes like they do for cars and trucks, so test centers had to have that built, then you assume that they will do the same checks as in cars, legal tires and emissions and whatever, and they "should" not pass illegal modifications. After the test centers being made, which will take at least 2 to 3 years, you'll have to give the people training on motorcycles because of health and safety, which will take a year or two more. It'll not be the end of all things, but small plates, small turn signals, exhaust systems with no catalyst, etc, will perhaps be filtered out, not to mention completely different motorcycles like cafe racer or scrambler builds will start to go through the "special" tests like race cars and trackday cars In France, though, bikers will properly protest and delay all that a few years. BTW, in Portugal every modification is illegal, so a different screen or different shocks theoretically made a bike illegal. "Theoretically" being the imperative word here.

The Fluidmaster, nice choice!
