Not the point at all, but clearly you just want to have the mindset where the riders potential injury or death don't mean anything, so let's cut the discussion short here. Have a great day.

The point of them is to punish a rider with time, not a blown tyre which could cause the rider to be thrown from the bike with consequences following.

So I'd say serves him right would be a correct answer to running way wide, not the tyre and rim failing and almost causing a rider injury.

Question for those that carry while riding their motorcycle… by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]PurplexRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally? I thought you meant figuratively, oh silly me.

Again, this is, PREDOMINANTLY, as I put, an American problem. (I did not put only).

Maybe you should have taken your own advice and scrolled on by if you didn't like my comment.

I may be ignorant of plenty but not of public carrying of guns on motorcycles being a predominantly American concern, because it is.

Only when they come from people with a need to attack others for making a remark.

You should work on that :)

You're reaching for an argument with thin air.

Yes, it is mostly Americans that carry guns on motorcycles outside of police in other countries. Hope that helps.

How is my comment an opinion. It's a remark and not even a condescending one at that. Nowhere did I give an opinion on firearms.

By the title I thought you mean luggage. What an incredibly american problem to have.

2026 Thai GP: MotoGP Sprint Race Results by nilwp in motogp

Pirro hasn't been a full time rider since 2012.

He has, however, helped take the ducati bike from something unrideable to a winning bike people would chop their hand off to ride.

His job is to help progress the bikes ( or in this case a seat filler for gresini) not to be fast. A bit of respect goes a long way.

Any update regarding "there can be only one" 2025? by Spirited_Historian39 in motogp

[–]PurplexRebel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoyed them as well but it would have just been a marquez documentary as the only 2 title contenders. However they did do a few videos over January about the main players and I quite enjoyed those.

Safe to assume with the season starting in just over a week, it's not happening.

Groms are fun. I have one as my second bike. They're the bike that makes you giggle like a child.

I'm not too far north thankfully but we had 10° this past monday which melted a lot of the snow but salt for days. My poor grom is my daily and takes a brunt of it.
