So has anyone taken the challenge about locating the tower ?

No games on Macs.

Get well soon Pete.

Went to work on the bike today. 
On the way back I saw this guy (the license plate is from Lebanon...)

Should have bought a Mac 

It would probably cost twice as much though.

Great shots!

Love this one!

Got out of the house just to ride a bit...

Same kind of job + clutch cover repair...

Talking about keeping old stuff...
My first Android phone Samsung Galaxy S, S3 mini, and my fathers S Duos...  None of them work.

Actually I have 2 Commodore64 

Just found a picture I took with the iPhone7.

iPhone 7 was pretty bad and are mostly all dead now.    I went from 6 to 8 Plus, I still have both and they are both still working although the 6 probably needs a new battery now.  Funnily enough I have recently decided to put all my old phones on Ebay as they are just gathering dust but I am a bit of a kleptomaniac and never really want to get rid of anything which is just stupid with old tech.  Mind you I still have an Amiga 600 and an Atari 520e in the loft  

I have a Commodore64 with the cassette drive, floppy disk, a printer and multiple broken joysticks at my parents 

Had an iPhone7 for a year... one of the worst mobile phones I ever bought.
- Expensive (around 600€ in 2018);
- Battery sucked, I had to charge it 3 times a day;
- Almost non customisable; 
- The storage doesn't work like the Android, couldn't add audio/video files as I liked.  
- Etc...

Got back to Android in 2019 with a Huawei P20 Pro (Huawei's Flagship phone from 2018) for 480€. Had the phone working perfectly for 4 years until it jumped off the Bike. 
Bought another one 2nd hand and it's still running without issues.
The biggest advantage of Android for me is that it lets me add "Captain Jack Sparrow" apps and I can used it just like an USB Pen. This way I don't have to pay to listen to music nor be bothered by a million ads.

Started watching the new Apple series Sugar... 3 episodes in, it seems to be good.

Here in France the testing stations are independent from garages, they purely do the tests and nothing else. (...)

Same here.

Are they just trying to get the car testing stations to do them?

It's been a few years that they are saying that the Bikes will have to go through theses inspections.
I suppose that the centres need new equipment to make the tests on Bikes, but each time I take my car to its inspection, I don't see any new equipment.
And when talking with the technicians they say that they don't have the proper training (yet).

 I think that this was the main reason for postponing the Bike inspections to 2025.

In Portugal it was supposed to start on the January 2024, and was postponed to January 2025.
But the issues are the same, no one believes that the centres have trained technicians for the inspections.

Most of my viewing these days are French biking channels. Firstly to work on my French and secondly to scope out any interesting places over here.

Highside - A French version of Top Gear on 2 wheels.

Got out of the house this morning to get a coffee with the owner of this mammoth.

Got the bike out wanting to take some scenery pictures, ended up at the Dainese store buying a Summer Jacket 

I still took some pictures, but at the door at my house
