lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This one seems to be a real red line for the peoples of the internet. Can’t help but feel that the powers that be are targeting a certain 9 time world champion with this one. Someone who doesn’t care about monetary penalties. 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There are 24 million people in Southern California. A vast majority of them are in Los Angeles and San Diego. Not to mention the entire Pacific fleet. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Part 2: Under the old sex-based fitness test female marines were regularly able to achieve very high scores. Which in turn saw them get promoted at equal rates alongside their male counterparts. This is the real story behind this move. It was done to keep women out of positions of authority. 021
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s not mentioned in the article, but the score that is achieved in these USMC PFT’s is part of the criteria for promotion through the rank structure. The closer to a perfect score the better. Receiving “only” a passing PFT score nearly ensures that Marine won’t be competitive for promotion. 110
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Seeing them roll around nice and slow during the sighting lap was a treat. Amazing. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Cool temps and hard carcass tires with soft compound rubber on the outside. Today’s tire strategy is:static.klipy.comAngry Birds Rolling DiceALT: Angry Birds Rolling Dice 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I’m guessing it was the actress who plays Elaine. She comes from an uber prominent French family. 100
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We saw the same from Bridgestone plenty of times in the past. Shit happens. 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We’ve seen Franco on the Podium plenty of times in the past decade. If Franco Morbidelli isn’t Brazilian then David Alonzo isn’t Colombian either. This is a nonsense stat. 🙃 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Also a more direct connection to what people around the world are actually buying and riding. It is a very specific group of people that are buying HD baggers. There is no polite way to comment on the age of those people either… 130
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That requires a near impossible 2/3 majority vote in the Senate. I’d love to see it but no matter bad things go for the republicans in the mid terms, it won’t go that bad. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Nearly every member of his cabinet needs to go to prison, but logically I know he’s going to pardon them all. I try not think about it because it makes me too angry. 100
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The Chinese incursion is the most interesting thing to happen in that series in a long time. With a couple more regulation changes and 1 or 2 new Chinese manufacturers, the Superbike class could become legitimately fun watching again. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It was like that for awhile. In 2019 & 2020 KTM Tech3 ran the “Redbull Cola” livery. 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026There already is a very prominent Domenicali in the MotoGP sphere. 1 is enough. 😂 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I spent Christmas in Tokyo last year. I naively assumed I would go visit Motegi and the HRC collection while I was there. I was shocked when I found how far outside the city it is. Even by Shinkansen, it’s a LONG ride. 😂 041
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This would be a hilarious time for one of those annual moto-savant performances from Mav. The fastest rider on the planet for 45 minutes a year. 😎 030
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Just this year China has given Cuba Billions in solar infrastructure to help work around the US oil embargo. They’re definitely toying around with the dicktater. 040
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026That would be amazing, but I think you’re right. 100
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Thanks. That is really good (but insane) perspective. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026They were spinning over 20K back in the old 800cc days. 😬 120
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Ah sorry the GPC not MSMA. I’m honestly surprised they reached unanimous approval on this. I know this was a distinct redline for HRC and others in the past. 020
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Are the faster lap times just down to the new tires? If so, do you think they will be able to maintain that hot pace throughout the race, or will there be a big drop? I can’t think of any mechanical reason that would make them lap faster than the 1000s. 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Isn’t this the sort of thing that factories need to vote on and approve via the MSMA? 130
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 22/09/2026In what way? Most people seem to agree it’s just a new version of the agreement that was already in place for the last 75 years. 110
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Has Hungaroring been confirmed as a replacement? 100
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 21/09/2026To my ears they sound identical to the current bikes. Any audible difference on location? 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 21/09/2026That Ducati test mule is so strange to me. You can still see the attach point for upper half of the forward wing element. They’re clearly still using some portions of the 1000cc body work and they’ve simply removed some of the aero elements. Curious to see what the finished product looks like. 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 19/09/2026In plain English: That’s fucking stupid. 001
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Still saving those extra 2 grid slots for the new manufacturer that’s never coming? 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I get the feeling that a certain #93 is holding his cards close to his chest. 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The phrase “sit on it and rotate” comes to mind. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Also appointed the last one, who he constantly complained about. 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Still seems like a bit of wishful thinking, but hey let’s stick it at the end just in case! 100
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Do you think they will put Qatar on 2027 calendar? 100
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Nobody knew they could blow up a pipeline in the desert with zero protective measures! 010
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Any rumors regarding potential moto3 deals? 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 13/09/2026He’s incredibly animated. Just like Tardozzi. 011
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I’m not sure if his sprint performances are just confusing, or if Aprilia spends too much effort trying to smash lap records on Saturday rather than focusing on Sprint pace. 🤔 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Did somebody say changeable conditions? 000
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The Saudi East-West pipeline was bombed out today too. No more crude bypassing the Hormuz. Today was an economic 9/11. On 9/11… 020
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Marc’s 4 year contract at troubled HRC didn’t end well. Brad’s 3 year contract at toubled KTM didn’t end well. I wonder how troubled Pecco’s 4 year contract at Aprilia will end? Almost like there’s a pattern here. 😅 110
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Curious to see if Binder and Oliveira can use the new chassis on the 2027 BMW to give Ducati and Iker some trouble. The new tires will be a big X-factor. 030
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This is two race weekends in a row now. Isn’t Trackhouse required to provide a replacement? 120
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Hope the event organizers find a big opulent and sexy couch for JD to sit on all by himself during the ceremony. Don’t let me down NY. 021
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 03/09/2026MotoGP made a deal with a completely new organizer to host the race in Adelaide. The Phillip Island race organizer (AGPC) lost their contract. No going back. 020
lilabesimpson.bsky.social @lilabesimpson.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Dorna begged race organizers to change the dates for years. They refused. That still wouldn’t fix the problem of it being very remote. 210
