Itchy Boots

We got hyped! This video gave us a better view of Bing’s rim with a tire in place. I would still be royally pissed if a mechanic did this to my rim. It remains to be seen how well the rim will stand up to rough terrain……
 
Definitely no warranty claim for Bing.
Triumph has a big DECLINED! rubber stamp ready, if he takes it back to his dealer.
Noraly always refers to it as "his bike", so it doesn't seem to be a rental.
Could be wrong...
 
A bit late - 5 March 2024 - and nothing to do with our favourite gal, but it's always a worry.....

 
Sad for sure. Low chance of happening yet a possibility is there.
I doubt you'll know if happens to her.

I don't condone what happened to her, but looking at the pictures, I'm not surprised.

Why do the two men have so much more clothing on than she does?

I think Norally has more sense than this woman does.

So you're saying that they were watching her blog and went looking for them?
Or if she had wearing conservative clothes they wouldn't do it?
 
I like watching these guys.
Emily is so sweet and just being herself, and Sean is too. Down to earth, interesting conversations and great filming.



I’ve been going back through some threads and came across your Sean & Emily recommendation. Thanks! I’ve been quite enjoying their New Zealand travels. Beautiful scenery! I almost think I’d rather tour New Zealand than the Alps.

Some of the hairpin turns in the Alps are scary. That doesn't take away from the scenery, but if you take your eyes off the road for a second or two, it might have unhappy results.

Not scary to me.
If you do farcebook, you gotta see @Kanyarfoto!
EDIT: I misspelled Kanyarfoto, now corrected. Sorry if you looked and couldn't find him.

Moreso in Italy. Italian tornati are very tight. I prefer French Alps or Swiss
 
... showing you samples of how to not ride hairpins... 🫤
Prezackly!
All the basic mistakes can be found there, most of which are actually addressed and practiced in the MSF BRC.
And I thought motorcycle license training was more robust in Europe.
No head turn, insufficient following distance, using the front brake in slow turns, handlebars not straight while stopping, and not putting the uphill foot down when coming to a stop.
However, there also are smooth riders doing it right, and there are lots of exotic sports cars and unique vehicles.
Fun, fun, fun to watch.
You can see the tipovers coming before they happen.
Back to basics.
