What made me laugh today.

Well, today, it was a French news article about fuel shortages at filling stations caused by a strike by refinery workers. And the photo at the head of the article is a filling station with a guy filling up an old H2 750 Kawasaki! I bet that would get him as far as the queue for the next filling station! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So are they some type of winged stabilisers or did you like to save enough space to have another bike riding either side of you? πŸ˜†

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.

The girl who wrote to Disney for a spectacle wearing animated star and got one is now very unhappy with the glasses wearing emoji as it suggests a nerd, her words. Obviously not happy with just one burst of tele fame.
Made me laugh anyway.
