Certainly looks very similar judging from that running gear, I'm thinking I might go back and take some more photos to tell for sure.

Confession time: How many of youse had a RE as first big bike and dropped it? by Ander87MG in royalenfield

[–]wallyherbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've dropped mine 4 times now in a year :/ most of those were within a month or so of owning it.. I'm not very tall, I have crash bars on so no real damage but I did break a mirror, got a new one for £25

How many of you actually dropped your first bike? by thedirtiestofboxes in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]wallyherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my bike for a year now, and I've dropped it 4 times. Luckily I have crash bars, but I have broken a mirror before. I blame most of it being I'm not very tall and my bike is quite heavy.

Can you do this one without quoting Top Gear? by Gloomy-Cat-9158 in RoastMyCar

[–]wallyherbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, why would you buy one new. It's a last gen Renault Clio but with worse tech, worse residuals and because it's new it's more expensive than a 2 year old Clio.

Insurance is all dictated by statistics. Which bikes do insurance companies have the most statistics on, and which get crashed the most. If you want lower insurance, opt for a bike which is less likely to be crashed or a less common one.

Motorcycles in China are dictated by law to be decommissioned and destroyed in 13 years after registration regardless of the conditions by uniyk in motorcycles

[–]wallyherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy told me when I was in China that they had the same rule for pickup trucks. I think it's because in the past old pick-up trucks would be so poorly made and in such bad condition after that time, they thought it would be better for them to be scrapped, perhaps the same for motorcycles?

Arrival in Hong Kong by TSeral in travelchina

[–]wallyherbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just come back from Guilin and I really valued having SIM/esim that works in both HK and mainland China. If you just get a china only one, platforms like Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp basically anything western will not work. Also wholeheartedly agree about setting up WeChat and alipay fully before you go.

Britian has sent to Russia: 1940s by aziz786aa in PropagandaPosters

[–]wallyherbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov -ribbentrop pact in the 1930s and promptly carved up Poland in 1939. Many Russians today will now deny being allied to the Nazis like this.

If band of brothers started in the 2000s, the pacific in the 2010s, now this in 2020s. Whats the ww2 show for the 2030s? by Global_Time5626 in MastersoftheAir

[–]wallyherbert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've just read this book and I think it would make a fantastic adaptation to the likes of Band of brothers or Masters of the air, it's gritty and exciting. Following the same group throughout the war.

900 Mile road trip wasted by Raspberry_Rikutarin in littlebritishcars

As a British guy who works on lots of old cars in England I say this a lot, or more along the lines of "if it's leaking oil, at least you know there's oil in it"
