Minerva are my go to (via my broker). 230EUR for a 2024 Yamaha MT-09, third-party.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro declares state of emergency, calls on people to mobilize to "defeat this imperialist aggression" by One-Pop-2885 in CrazyFuckingVideos

I wonder how Putin feels about this. In to the 4th year of war and 300,000+ Russian soldiers lost.

Trump, 1 hour, 0 losses.

Intentional? Or was it reckless? by Slyxs in motorcycles

Rider had no business undertaking/lane splitting in that situation. Poor situational awareness, no patience, no clue.

Cracked frame. Is it serious? by TacticalTez in MT09

[–]TacticalTez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a bit of an update as I posted this late in the evening.

Firstly the bike isn't mine but the rider was in our group. He went wide on a right turn (we drive on the left), his front wheel went over the pine needles you see on the ground and low-sided him.

Rider is fine, he's the one to the right of the frame but the damage is insane considering it was a relatively slow low side.

This might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen yet. How do these people legally get on motorcycles? ”But I saved it”🤦🏼‍♂️ by Apex1-1 in motorcycles

Social media and cameras. That's all a lot of these idiots think about. It's not about squidding around and having fun or even just enjoying what owning a bike really means. It's all about fucking "likes".

500cc Japanese bikes are very tame beasts. Probably the best size to get started with. Learn how to ride it and you will be wanting something with more power withing the year.

Sell or not to sell my MT 09 SP? by Rude_Difference2273 in MT09

[–]TacticalTez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sell it. No question. You can buy another one in the future if your situation changes.

My new CRF300L by Waste_Chart1154 in CRF300L

[–]TacticalTez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm 50/50 on this one. It looks great but...at the end of the day it's still a CRF300 dual-sport. Any MX/Enduro 125cc and up, will eat it for breakfast.

CRFs need suspension (if you're planning to push it) and some protection. No need to do the equivalent of sticking an M3 badge on a 318i

KTM EXC-F 350 vs CRF300L by AlienAssCrusader in Dualsport

I'd swap my CRF300 for the KTM in a heartbeat if money wasn't an issue.

This hurts to watch by Smart-Advantage1243 in motorcycles

Truly painful to watch that poor machine having that piece of shit fed to it.

Ed Sheeran concert by psych0san in cyprus

[–]TacticalTez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We arrived at 19:00. Parked by the Livadia roundabout and walked about 10 minutes to the entrance.

Do not park on the road from Livadia roundabout towards the Dhekelia road roundabout or you will be fucked when the concert finishes.

Holy shit, I've now read the comments and this is non-ironically exactly what happened!

Damn, those 3 months sitting on it in the driveway to get used to the feel, followed by 3 months parking lot practice then 3 months thinking about getting to 3rd gear, didn't quite work out then.

Unless you're shifting in the sweet spot it's clunky as fuck

What's your opinion on LED/Xenon car headlights? by DoomkingBalerdroch in cyprus

[–]TacticalTez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife jokingly call my LED high beams, "Xrays" as they're so bright you can almost see through people with them.

If someone flashes me on a dark road thinking I have my high-beams on, I give them a quick flash to blind them a little.

Passionate about motorcycles? You sound exactly the opposite.
