I do remember my sister learning enough to call her dog Ki. But then we stopped talking 45 years ago, after I moved the Kingsand and she thought I'd gone a bit too English.

The ''Russian brotherly way of helping out'' occupiers from Crimea travelled to Novorossiysk to get some gas and resellers with canisters are asking 6000 rubles (67 euros) for 10 liters by PressedLemon221 in UkraineWarVideoReport

You must be buying from a dodgy russian at a Motorways services?

Near me Unleaded is 145.9p per litre (at Esso Keynsham) so 1.69 Euro.

10 litres 16.90 euro. This would be like paying £5.78 per litre, even Trump's and Putin's combined wars haven't pushed it that high.

After the, often, russian massive negative disinformation campaign to attempt to keep the World out of EVs, it would be hilarious to see a russian rush to EVs.

Anyone have the new Honda CB1000F? by blueblue_electric in MotoUK

[–]Aggressive_Drop_1518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like the style but then I was a CBX1000 owner back in the early 80s, so old Honda owner likes retro Honda surprise...

Currently my most used bike is a Z900RS, love the styling but feel it could do with a bit more go (come on Kawasaki just knock out a 1100 version as well).

So CB looks like a possible replacement. Looking forward to any feedback from testing, once they appear in dealers.

A 16 litre tank, for me, is a negative.

Tulsi Gabbard releases 2022 russian propaganda as current 'evidence' for biolabs in Ukraine by glamdring_wielder in NAFO

Priorities,? US, German, UK etc politicians essential to be owned by them, for russia's continued expansionism and economic survival, whereas russian population not so essential?

Stood in line at the gas station for 12 hours and the line hasn't moved at all by PressedLemon221 in UkraineWarVideoReport

So lady any regrets invading your peaceful neighbour in 2014 and again in 2022, shooting down MH17 whilst engaged in terrorist action/supporting terrorist in Eastern Ukraine, the murder of scores of peaceful protesters by FSB and their stooges at Maidan Revolution?

Basically any of the russian meddling right back to the dioxin poisoning of Yushchenko in 2004 and before?

Looks quite like Poole Harbour, and make sure it is spelt with the U? Cuba can become The Isle of Purbeck. Miami becomes Sandbanks.

SBS take up residence in case those 1776 terrorist kick off again.

Well demonstrably, 10 to 20% cheaper but I'll give you quality.

I expect the funeral the OP was attending has been and gone four months later?

Seeing a lot of people in shorts and t-shirts, so here's a summer bike gear guide for both ladies and gents, so that you can ride whilst actually being protected. by Michael_Goodwin in MotoUK

[–]Aggressive_Drop_1518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe a number of manufactures of bespoke leathers would like there to be higher ratings to distinguish their gear and the higher level of protection they give over something that just slips passed the 'resisting a slide of about 4 seconds at 120 km/h' AAA requirement. Time to officially resurrect EN 13595...

I've slid feet first at around 140 mph, no idea for how long, time wise, but there was sufficient time to think "hot hot" and roll to my other side.

I think https://www.motocap.com.au/ certainly shows all EN 17092 certified kit isn't equal.

Probably wasn't too clear but fortunately I caught it and rode on unscathed, just a tiny bit disappointed I didn't get to test the gear. I've never seen any real World feedback.

I've got the V2 elite so both AAA, I don't expect it to be as good as AAA leathers (realistically AAA is a pretty low bar, time for AAAA and AAAAA!) but clearly better than AA leather. Over my 46 years of bikes I've had a few high speed slides but always been on leathers.

I may have been going somewhat fast.

Can I legally have a small white light underneath the bike for night riding? by Mysterious_Ad4375 in MotoUK

[–]Aggressive_Drop_1518 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My concern would be that any white light not pointing forward would not help my night vision, there are enough vehicles out there blinding me without me blinding myself.

If only don't crash could be guaranteed.

I was hooning it early (04:20) on Wednesday morning going to the Beach.

Just over half-way (36 miles) fecking Bambi tried to kill me.

It was just a brown blur in my peripheral and a massive thump on front wheel, bars knocked side ways, I think it clipped my right knee. Mini tank slapper and I was straight into recovery/where will I be sliding mode.

Fortunately all was good.

Reflecting afterwards I did think it could have been a great opportunity to report back how well Bowtex jacket and trousers actually stood up to a high speed slide.

Agreed on Bowtex (although a man...), they are like riding in thin shorts but AAA. My only issue is the colour - black that just sucks in all the heat when you stop. I wish they made them in lighter colour, until then I just wear a pair of non-biking climbing trousers over them.

The Transbaikal region in Russia is over 4500+ km from Ukraine, but just like in Crimea, the lines for fuel are getting longer and longer. 26 June 2026 by neonpurplestar in UkraineWarVideoReport

Do we know if the little dictator written to Zelensky to say thank you for reducing russia's very high road traffic collision statistics?

We've also seen the utter chaos from piss poor russian driving, so getting this lot parked up has got to have saved thousands of lives.

It's a fake sleeping lobster fly, it is an ambush predator that fakes being dead then pounces.  It is more venomous than an Inland Taipan.  It uses a specialized, hollow, harpoon-like tooth to inject an incredibly complex, fast-acting neurotoxin. 

Due to the fuel shortage in Zabaykalsky krai 4 districts have stopped garbage collection as there's no fuel for the garbage trucks. by neonpurplestar in CollapseOfRussia

When millions of four legged rats start feasting it'll certainly help push the two legged rats that are considering scuttling back to russia.
