A profession team representing their country bringing a political protest banner onto the pitch. Really? :thumbdown:


Their vice-president was worse



After Wednesday's victory, Argentina vice-president Victoria Villarruel posted on X, external, writing "it wasn't just another match ...

Go to a decent MX dealership and ask, if they're any good they'll be helpful

In the early 90s I hired a DR125 in Crete and rode around in shorts and t shirt, no crash helmet, probably went 60mph max, got sun burnt to a crisp, now I wouldn't ride a motorcycle without full protective gear and a crash helmet, so the fastest I'd ride without a helmet is a slow walking pace ...

Had a Black Widow copy of the YEC front pipes on my FZR400R, they worked very, very well and lasted the 30 or so trackdays I did on it.
Got a Black Widow link pipe and can on my CB1000R, its quieter and works better than the standard can and has lasted 16000 miles with no problems.

36/42, 35/35 for trackdays if I can be arsed to change them

I've realised that the blue makes me look a lot like a French tosser.

The gloves are great too.

Corrected that for you

I've got a Furygan Atom vented jacket, it fits well and isn't hot to wear, I have my doubts about it's crash protection

It looks like a chickens intestines

Isn't the K engine based on a Peugeot car engine

98 onwards ZX6R, a mate of mine lapped everyone in the fast group twice in one at Cadwell on a Classic Bike Track day a few years ago when I had my FZR400R, but his might be worth more than £1500.

But my days of being quick are long gone, last time I was at the fast end of Inters was in 2002 on an ...

Not only does it look shit, it will ride shit as well

To properly survive very hot weather riding and be a tiny bit safe: mesh jacket and trousers, boots and gloves with lots of holes, an open face helmet with lots of vents (I use an Arai SZ-R). When I go out with the local chaps we leave early and are home by midday. Once home, if you haven't got a ...

Leaving at 5am would get me to the first appointment 2hrs early but make zero difference to the next leg

Are you going to pick holes in everything?

Leave at 5 in the morning

Honda XL185 https://www.iconicauctioneers.com/1982-honda-xl185s-rec17123-3-kempton-0726?pn=1&el=37069&pp=100 but it would have to be under £500, considered the RC30s, but they're not very nice to work on, the Katana, easy to work on but not very nice to ride, RG500, not very nice to ride and it's ...

How much is Harwich to the Hook, though I live not far from Harwich and it's quicker and nicer to get the Channel Tunnel and ride a bit more.

It would look better if the engine were turned 90 degrees, sort of like a 5 cylinder Harley

+1 for street food/pop ups.


Eaten in lots of fancy Michelin places.


Fondest memory was a pop up in Lyme Regis doing Spanish food. Just magical. Couple running it were married and worked in IT- but their passion was food ( whose passion is fucking IT?) and it showed.


Like Wolfgang and his ...

OK, over how many years have you had 7 convictions?
