Waiting for lunch while sitting outside with Costa listening to the Sunday morning MotoGP going past on the A29 while everyone heads home for lunch after the big bike meet. https://youtube.com/shorts/-AtSN9uHNuU?si=Im61TztozqwDmbcO

I’ve upgraded to a lithium one, with way better specs than the stock one. Apart from the first month or two when it was really new I can’t tell the difference. It does weight less than half, though, but it’s not like I’m a lightweight rider on a lightweight bike.

Let’s hope that the way they cracked it isn’t a new exotic valvetrain every two hours.

Just a reminder, a little after 21:00 I’ll be closing this and starting the poll.

Desmos are better at controling valves and cams at very high revs, no? From what I gather that’s also most of the current mx engines weak point? Sounds interesting to see how they cope.

can they?

Da fuck?! Dude!

Wait, there’s three of them?

It’s not nice that they announce the visit with that much time in advance, leaves you to fester on all the possibilities until then.

Stopping at a very nice supermarket before heading to a friend’s place for dinner. Dangerous place to shop, and my kind of shopping bag: cheese, prosciutto, bread, wine, whisky, and cigars

So it's not replenishing itself of fuel just sitting there?

I can use that but it might have to be too shopped to fit the page and loose most of the house.

Maybe we should find a tiny space suit and put a leg of lamb in it, and try to cook that under infra red lamps for illustration purposes. That would make it easier.

Having a drink now, it’s been a tough week. Tomorrow afternoon I ‘ll be on the GS heading for the hills where I learned to ride the Transalp.

Your tomorrows are our yesterdays

There’s 5G older than that here!

No, they went to the effort to pretend to send a crane to the moon to avoid making fake tracks there. That’s commitment!

There are subways older than that here!

What’s exciting about this to me, is that there must be a Ducati racing rallies in a couple of years. That’s very cool as the Italians are already enthusiastic about the Dakar, they will fry their brains in excitement then!!!

I’ve often been, Pete. I survived and flourished the morning after as the winner, earlier and fitter to the next round than they were!
