Cool 😎 Strange 🤪 or obscure 🙃 / interesting things...

Silly. It's a technician at Bimota's secret research and testing facility putting the Tesi test mule through its paces, as you well know.

It handles 1000 time better than a Harley Wannabe Diavel that's for sure so your comment is....

We will have to test this absurd theory. Get yourself and your Tesi out of Yorkistan and up to God's own Northumberland where the sun always shines and put it up against my 1260 S and Rob's Tuono Factory.

Don't worry, I have a towbar and a trailer to get you and all the bits home again. No tassels though please.

Are you as slow as Rob 😮😮😮😮😮😮
 
A photograph, taken c. 1900, by Sir Benjamin Stone, of two villagers at the Bidford Mop, an annual fair held at Michaelmas in the village of Bidford-on-Avon.

A Mop Fair is a traditional English hiring fair, originally held in towns and villages after the harvest, where employers hired workers for the coming year.

They date back to the 1300s, and were especially common from the 16th to 19th centuries.

This photograph shows two old soldiers.

Both were veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg.

The picture was taken in 1913, at a reunion held on the battlefield.

The man sitting on the rocks is a Rebel Confederate soldier, and the man standing is a Union soldier.

Compare the medal display to those worn by the Royal Family

Still goes on, lived in Bidford for 5 years. Great day out.
 
High above the dry sands of South Africa's Kalahari Desert, something truly fascinating catches the eye — giant, shaggy-looking nests draped over telephone poles and pylons. At first glance, they look like a bundle of dry straw gone wild… but they’re actually masterpieces, crafted by one of the region’s smallest birds: the Sociable Weaver.

These little birds are behind the largest nests built by any bird species on Earth. Working together, dozens of them create huge communal homes, with space for more than a hundred breeding pairs — like nature’s version of a high-rise apartment block, made entirely from twigs and grass.

Even more incredible? Some of these nests have been occupied for generations, standing strong for over 100 years, providing shelter from predators and harsh weather alike. A true symbol of teamwork, survival, and brilliance quietly thriving in one of the toughest landscapes on the planet.

You ant to see what happens when one of these catches fire, as they sometimes do.
 
The 1907 photograph of cowboys gathered at the Equity Bar in Old Tascosa, Texas, offers a rare, candid glimpse into the waning days of the American frontier. Once a thriving town nestled in the Texas Panhandle, Tascosa had been a hub for ranchers, outlaws, and trailhands navigating the booming cattle industry.

Though its heyday was fading by the early 20th century, the town still retained its rough edges and served as a gathering point for men who had built their lives on hard labour, dusty trails, and the ever-present push westward. The image captures a slice of their downtime—an evening spent drinking, talking, and momentarily shaking off the weight of the range.

The bar scene is intimate and unvarnished, with weathered cowboys bellied up to the counter in dusty hats and work-worn clothes. These men, likely fresh from long days or even weeks of cattle driving, found in the saloon a rare respite.

Establishments like the Equity Bar were more than just places to drink—they were community hubs where deals were made, songs were sung, and stories were passed down like oral history. In towns like Tascosa, where the landscape was as unforgiving as the lifestyle, saloons offered a flicker of warmth and familiarity, even if only for an evening.
