And the answer to that actually real problem is to vilify science and scientists, denigrate the pharmaceutical industry, reduce dollars for infectious research and cut funding to universities.

Michelin hit a home run with those tires. As the announcer said, “I bet some guys wished they’d pushed harder earlier.”To this casual fan no one looked really out of shape unless they were super aggressive. Great comeback after the Sprint.

Been awhile since that series has raced in America. I went to Utah in the 2000’s for WSBK.

He also said “diversity is not our strength “. So he’s essentially saying he’s a misogynistic racist. Maybe he’ll only allow heterosexual white Christian males in the military. Also starting “an office of religious affairs “. What the actual F?!

Like in America, no one will do those jobs. Several industries are openly complaining about lack of labor supplied by immigrant labor. Farming, construction etc. The louts who hate immigrants are too lazy.

Three riders have impressed me this year, outside of the top factory Duc riders, are Gerloff, Surra and Baldassarri. Surra is a real talent. And only 22. Gerloff riding an inferior bike and making good points. Balda is fast.

I was just getting in shape on the bike. “Are you sure?” We meet the next day. With his cast on. We did 30 miles basically flat (thank god) at a decent tempo. 16 mph? He was so nice. Giving me tips and encouragement. At the end he said, “well so much for a recovery ride.” I was over the moon.

I had the pleasure of meeting this chap. He was in Boulder, CO training and I was living there at that time, early 90s. He had just broken his wrist on a descent when I met him. I asked if he were done training and he laughed. “No, you want to ride tomorrow?” TBC

If you put your mind to it, the number of potential terrorist targets is essentially endless. There are so many huge water reservoirs that anyone can get near too and dump whatever into them. As an example.

A U.S. design base. Never heard of them and I shopped for a new helmet six months ago. Never came up on a search nor in any catalog website. Nice looking. About the same weight as my HJC RPHA 71.

I have not heard one coherent, concrete argument about what the value to society AI would bring. It’s all buzzwords and vague rhetoric about turning the world into some sort of wonderland. Anyone got one?

Indeed. I sort of like the current bikes as they REALLY lean into what you said. Full tilt engineering exercises. I’m old and some old timers want “real motorcycles “. My answer to that is “go watch WSBK”.

Mark @marktriumph.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
I guess I’m realizing how ugly the bikes actually are now! A livery covers up some of that by catching your eye. Can’t wait for the final product. Perhaps styling tips from a pro would help.

That’s what I thought they’d look like. Cleaner. But seeing this thing alarmed me. I’m sure you’re right but only comment on what I see.

The Aprilia 850 spy shot. No livery but to me, it’s not a good looking bike. Looks cobbled together.

I raced in the amateur races at Daytona in 78. We raced just in the infield. But we got full pit access for the week. During 250cc pro practice I was trying to get Freddie’s time. I missed him. “Excuse me but did you get Freddy?” It was Erv Kanemoto. I said “no” and we both laughed. Hand timing.

I saw some times posted by a colleague of yours. I asked if they were transponder speeds. Haven’t heard back. But you’re saying transponders weren’t being used?
