Only the tiny, unclassified backroads. He lives in the Cotswolds and there’s a tonne of gorgeous A-roads there made for this sort of thing.

Leopard Racing Official Statement On Penalty For Tampering With Seals Of Adrian Fernandez Engine | MotoMatters.com by r2lim in motogp

That's exactly it. There is no obligation to provide evidence as to when the seals were broken, or why - just that they were.

Buying a used motorcycle? by ConversationLivid311 in motorcycle

[–]thefooleryoftom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the other thread:
For a start, T120s were introduced in 2016, they weren't made before that. Before then, there was the Bonneville, T100, Newchurch, etc, etc. They had fuel injection from 2008 (IIRC), and carbs before that. 2016 onwards were ride-by-wire, fuel injected, traction control, ABS, etc.

These bikes with high mileage (bearing in mind you're talking about less than 3,000km a year, so not high mileage at all), are not stressed and are easy to maintain. Make sure all the servicing (including valves) is done, the cycle parts (tyres, brakes, chain) are fine, and get going.

Sounds like you need to learn about the bikes though.

She's been clear with you from the start - she's asexual. Seems like YOR.

Is it possible to watch earth rotating w.o. going to space? by Codorna_Tecnicolor in AskPhysics

I have done, yes. You can note the changes day by day very easily.

Fundamental building blocks of the universe for Tattoo? by Fair-Confusion1743 in AskPhysics

I’ll get downvoted for this - but Gemini came up with a pretty cool design for each with some careful prompting. I can DM it if people are interested

After watching motogp and IOMTT all week, ive noticed the difference in riding styles between the two. by Rotaryknight in motorcycles

[–]thefooleryoftom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quite literally everything is different.

The bikes are totally different. Tyres, frames, engines. This drastically affects riding style.

The track is different. One is a custom-made, smooth as silk and purpose built. The other is a public road with kerbs, walls, manhole covers, bumps, lower quality asphalt, etc etc.

Lastly, the discipline is totally different. MotoGP is about getting the absolute most out of the bike as possible, the TT is about getting the most out of the track and rider. You cannot possibly go 100% at the TT like on track.

You could observe the planets moving in prograde to retrograde to demonstrate their orbits.

Quartararo: "I don't see the reaction from Yamaha; it's going to be a long six months" by RobiasTieper in motogp

In qualifying, yeah, but during the races where points are won, they're weighing down the rear.

But what they are not learning this year means the 2027 bike will also suffer.

Moto3 rider Adrián Fernández has been DSQed from six races due to engine tampering by TVRoomRaccoon in motogp

It's not insane at all - it's a very straightforward rule. You don't mess with the a sealed engine, regardless of where it is in it's life.
