That's the reaction of a lot of car guys. But, you quickly get used to the way bikes perform. Except the latest hyper bikes, with around 1.1hp per kilo, or like a Mustang with 1900hp. Probably too fast for anyone to ride to their limits but a MotoGP or WSBK rider.

I. must. resist. the. innuendo. opportunity.

35 - 40 years riding bikes for pleasure and work, and I'm still here. They are not death sentences. I'd also rather accept the risks of riding a bike, than being turned into a crispy critter in an EV.

My only Kwaka road bike was a '83 GPz750. I shouldn't have sold it, cornered like it was on rails.

I've heard the Scots can understand Dutch, it might just be a pisstake, but I can't understand a word either say

It's a laugh when some cager takes on a bike. My last was a MT09, just 847cc and 115hp, but some reviewer did 2.7 to 60 and 10.3 1/4 mile on a stock one. I'm too porky to do that good, he was probably a Japanese racing sardine.

Similar here. Yearly registration is based on safety ratings and accident statistics. We pay hefty fuel taxes but we will be moving to a mileage based system that trucks, diesels and EV's have been paying up till now. $NZ76 per 1000kms currently.

I'm also 100% Italian heritage and a citizen, also an ex Traffic cop. My wife and I have done a few trips there, driven around 15,000kms from the Stelvio down to Sicily, most of both coasts and much of the middle. I have never felt safer, both on the roads and personally when walking around...

What did surprise me was the 32 spec. It seemed low, my last car had 42psi Fr and 30psi Rr for 245/35-20 tyres. But it works

If you are lucky enough to own a nice car I don't give a fat rats arse how or what you do to take pics of it. It's people who use AI to lie that I have no time for. Great work

Yep, and it'll probably be German with AWD and LC. Based on 0 - 100kmh times, a new Golf R would beat mine. After that he's toast. It's so easy to add 50 to 100hp to those turbo cars as well. You don't know what you're taking on.

The double tap I used was just a few mm's, and I'd say it dropped two gears

I have no significant complaints. The holes in the front guard liners was a bit stupid, but easily fixed.

I check mine early in the morning. That gives me less difference in seasonal temps.

I don't know about you guys, but I've never seen politics quite so entertaining.

recommend a good aftermarket wireless Android Auto dongle thingy. My wife's new car to be only has wired

I've just cleaned my OEM filters, they were filthy for only having done 10,000kms. Maybe it's because they're closer to the road surface than my previous cars. I just blew them out from the inside and then used a vacuum and brush head to do the pleats. They cleaned up OK, but I might invest in...

Fitted a different front cam, one designed for front use rather than rear. Now the image is not mirrored. Good old Temu.

All these little gems make me not miss a DSG so much
