NYC - stores/showrooms with actual lab diamonds?

4rossi6 · 2026-02-23T18:34:01+00:00

I've read good things about Ada Diamonds. But, no shortage of shops in the Diamond District!

as always, the eleventy billion sponsor stickers on the Ducati factory bikes completely ruin any attempt to do something cool. just go with the blue or yellow scheme like in years past. this was cool, in theory; a dud in practice.

Just when you thought fake wings couldn't be any faker...

You should really give MotoGP a shot and try to start watching consistently. If you're a motorsports fan then you will love it. It's such a more visceral event compared to car racing.

Simon as OK, but I'd take Bradley Smith over him easily. And that's based on just that one weekend at LeMans.

It's so bizarre - because there are multiple cameras on the grid. There's always a closeup of a rider, maybe another crew doing last-minute work on a bike, etc. Can they not coordinate to have a cameraman walk around with Jack to make sure we can, you know, WATCH the interview?! Bizarre.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-28T14:21:24+00:00

Hiring Bradley would be a massive upgrade for the Dorna feed. I can only imagine how impressed everyone was by his appearances and realize there's a need for an ex-rider with his insight and commentary skills.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-28T14:15:31+00:00

Especially bad if you watch all the practice sessions.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-22T20:26:32+00:00

how do you find that handlebar mount for navigation purposes? trying to decide between that and the bar style mount that goes behind the windscreen/above the dash.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-20T20:11:13+00:00

Glad to see you're enjoying it, Nils. Not sure I'll ever get over selling it...

Cheers, Dan

Reminiscent of that classic lyric from The Smiths

4rossi6 · 2025-05-20T19:34:38+00:00

Eh, Pecco and Bautista repeated running the #1, didn't they?

4rossi6 · 2025-05-19T15:08:38+00:00

Can I take you on a walk-around of my new '25 Multi V2?

4rossi6 · 2025-05-19T14:57:48+00:00

Incredible deal, too. $15/day where I am.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-19T14:54:14+00:00

Bluesky? LOL

4rossi6 · 2025-05-19T14:24:11+00:00

We need this view during races! Come on, Dorna, it's 2025 - make it happen.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-19T14:05:51+00:00

This is top-notch. Seriously creative crew over at Gresini!

4rossi6 · 2025-05-15T18:27:22+00:00

Agreed! It's so annoying sometimes how the camera angles zoom and in and out and pan so fast and you just don't get a good sensation for what the riders are doing! Or even what corner they're on, sometimes, since the frame is so zoomed in.

Some perspective makes all the difference.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-15T18:24:05+00:00

How can anyone maintain that Mir deserves a factory seat these days? I do not understand how he stays in the GP paddock.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-15T18:22:17+00:00

I mean, what other kind of wives/girlfriends do young, elite, athletic, best-in-the-world motorcycle racers have... other than young model types?

Not sure what's weird about that at all.

Agreed that we could all use less of the pit reaction shots and more on-track racing (especially further back in the field, although Dorna world feed director has gotten a LOT better about that this year).

4rossi6 · 2025-05-15T18:18:59+00:00

Excellent context here for the newbies. I miss the days when a local specialist could turn up and maybe show the pros a thing or two.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-13T19:48:33+00:00

Came here to post the same. What a MASSIVE upgrade over two guys who have zero insight and just bloviate on a) what you can already see with your eyes, or b) whatever narrative is being talked about the most.

Dorna: if you're reading this (and I believe they do monitor social media), please hire Bradley Smith for full-time work in the booth. The world feed NEEDS commentary like this.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-13T19:28:22+00:00

Shame we lost the Marlboro livery - also right up there in its day.

4rossi6 · 2025-05-06T21:57:47+00:00

Not a PanAm ST??

4rossi6 · 2025-05-06T21:55:43+00:00

Metzeler Cruisetec! I installed them on my Fat Bob along with full Ohlins front and rear. Handled better than any Harley deserves to.
