@louisbosco I watched this one the other day.  It’s amazing how little the front wheel is on the ground.

[goosehd]

@Jett129 That’s amazing!

[Jett129]

I know,gives me chills every time I watch it.

[louisbosco]

@goosehd yeah that is absolutely insane. especially when you're that close to the edge, with little to no margin of error. It was sad that the event a couple years back had a fatality..

@Jett129 wait till you see this near miss from DR46. He even said that the angels were with him that day.

[Jett129]

Holy shit,that’s fucking insane. Hard to believe they walked away from that.

I think the verb is limp not walk….

.              You got that  right.

That was one of the most amazing incidents I’ve ever seen MOTOGP.

I remember watching it ‘live’ on tv and I could believe how everyone involve got away unscathed

Rossi face was white a a sheet when they got back to the pits… and to think they all went at it again 100% on the restart!!!!

Goodwood FOS is great but can be VERY busy now, I've only ever been on the Sunday, but Friday might be better.

Getting up and close with some of the metal is great though. The old group B cars a favourite of mine to look over.

My 83’ Yamaha xt600 Tenere that I rebuilt last spring… it’s quite competent for a bit of light off-roading and ideal for pottering on the tight twists road where I live

[motojobobo]

Nice bike! And congrats on your rebuild, she looks impeccable for an ‘83 model.
Wish I could rebuild my ‘81 Honda XL250R to such a high standard.
Enjoy it @Baba-san

The time has come to get back in the saddle, again. Coming soon…..

[Jett129]

Excellent news,can’t wait to see what you get.

any opinions on a 2009 triumph speed triple 1050?

[Streetwise Hercules]

Great bikes. Reviews of them were great and a mate had one and loved the thing. He used to wheelie it everywhere.

[louisbosco]

I've been looking about for a motorcycle. been thinking about a Honda 900hornet, to eventually build down the road. but then I saw a speed triple at a decent price..

funny enough, the first review I had read was a rider with plenty of issues mechanically with his speed triple but nonetheless loved the ride of it.

Chugging along with my ‘71 CL175, got in a fight with the exhaust today since the dual exhaust is tapered in… also drilled all of the exhaust shield bolts out since the heads were seized, the 21oz definitely saved my legs when I kneeled on some metal shavings

Recent trip to northern La Paz. Rain season so water literally pouring out of every nook in the mountains.

Got a new headlamp for my R1200R, pricey but very good light output compared to the original. It is a Motodemic; they set it up to make it plug-&-play for each bike. I’d definitely recommend their lights.

Anybody else tried them?

MotoGP 2021 kicks off today in Qatar, YAYYYYY!
Anybody else watching it? I have a feeling Zarco may surprise many today.
Great Sunday to everyone

I was wrestling a three year old and on cooking duties last night so I didn’t catch it live and am doing my best to avoid the results today. Looking forward to sitting down and watching it this evening.
