True story: a transgender now woman was put into female prison in Portugal, demanded that she would only have her body inspected at “check in” by women officers, “like herself”! All the female guards refused to inspect what to them is a dude, so they were stuck like that for quite some time, not sure if more than a day. Seems to me that prison is a little bit too democratic on all accounts.

In Italy it’s no longer a problem, it’s settled into part of their culture The level of violence used for bike theft is portrayed as being a lot more in London though, than anywhere else in Europe, at least portrayed to the outside.

You’re such a troll!

Look at that those twats on both ends of the front row, fleece jackets and "hiking"shoes and whatever, it's PTFE from head to toes, twats! Yank them out and let them bleed from their hands! ... Jeesus, "bleed from their hands" ... my bad week is making me angry

Is that rot making it weak? My neighbors from across the street had a couple of huge eucalyptus on the other side of their house, 2 meters wide at the bottom, with big winds having a tree big enough to swing over your house makes things a little uncomfortable. Listening to the wood creaking and feeling the light swift through the night certainly makes you want it cut off and replaced with something less risky.

I think it was 1 drip to 1,5 minutes or 2 minutes if used in clean environment. In dry weather does more good in the way it washes off dust than the lubrication itself. Thing is, you adjust it to a certain flow, but then if the weather warms up you'll need to compensate otherwise it'll just flow through.

And also don't take a passenger wearing white pants out for lunch, if she likes to keep them clean. Both advice I learned from experience

As a recommendation, remember to fit it somewhere with airflow so it doesn't get warmer from engine or exhaust heat. Engine heat will make the oil thinner and run out way faster than you want.

You’re shorter than I had assumed.

A giant “General pear” next to normal sized pears. It’s almost the size of a big pineapple.

Can’t see the point of displaying bikes if people looking around can’t just have a sit by themselves with no effort. Also, it surprises me how most dealers, here too, don’t have coffee or a cold drink to invite people in. Seems such a lost opportunity to create a nice feeling of community amongst their clients!

That’s a great looking road!

It’s not a wasteland, it’s dark motorcycling. sounds cooler

at least, judging from the pictures, it’s nice on gravel.

I thought they were used for beaks only, like this:

Too fast!

He only does sunsets, not bikes

Looks like the ones Shoei or other brands have in their old school open helmets for fixing beak on:

My frame with the kids theme Yes, aren’t those snap on buttons on the top of the visor?

What did you snap onto the visor, a darker one?

It was quite the moment

They’re highway pegs, everyone on that side of the Atlantic has to stretch their legs forward on the motorway. They remind me of those footpegs BMX bikes have fitted on their axles for tricks, that kids used to want to carry a passenger standing on the back wheel when I was young.

That old BMW helmet is cool, though, back when german helmets looked so dorky they were cool. I’ve got 3 or 4 at home that belonged to Maria, her dad having eorked for the Portuguese BMW importer in the 90s, all kinds of funky colours. They were great quality, but that stuff has an expiration date. One of my favourite pictures ever, of a little Moroccan girl trying one out. At the end of the trip it was falling apart.
