What have you done on your bike today?

It's my understanding that Ducati UK took it off him because the spectacle of an angry balding goblin in colomstomy pants and carpet slippers riding the world's most aesthetically pleasing motorcycle in public was damaging the brand.
Last I heard he'd bought a Bimota Tesi at a car boot sale. :unsure:

We've just been told he's bought another Diavel :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Not a real Diavel. The DC comic strip version with too many cylinders and lots of unnecessary teeny weeny pistons. The NHS hand them out to persons of advanced decrepitude as mobility scooter training vehicles.
I hear he's doing well with it and it's regularly seen parked up outside Holmfirth Wetherspoons at 10 o' clock in the morning.

It so is. Not only is I svelte, I recently won the pub arm wrestling championship, beating all the 30-something wannabes (true story - caused much consternation and despondency at the time which still hasn't died down). I am a Diavel made flesh. I will be a credit to the brand and I expect the free merch to start piling in. I'm building a new shed to put it all in.

How did you build up such strong arm muscles? Wayne will be jealous.

Spending six months of the year every winter swinging a 3 1/2 pound axe all day every day probably helps, but TBH a lot of it is as much about strategy as strength. Surprise your opponent and get him rattled, let him wear himself out (defence uses a lot less energy than attack) and then go in for the kill.
 
Isn't he Australian though :unsure:
Just a world renowned racer / journalist who has ridden more bikes than anyone on the forum put together, were Doohan and Stoner and many other World Champions Aussies?

Do we listen to Alan (not our Al 👀 ) or do we listen to someone who is stoopid 🤪









PS, your new spaz vehicle is still on the pallet you nob 🤷‍♂️

No way am I riding in your Bimota, that's plain nasty :mad:
 
A friend of mine picked up a brand new V2 Multi on Friday, the latest version with the 890cc engine which helps bring to total weight down by about 15kg from the previous version.
He kindly let me have a go on it despite it being nowhere near run in with just 60 miles on the clock. Obviously I kept it below 5000rpm as per the running in schedule so this is really just first impressions , I hope for a proper ride in a couple of thousand miles.
Anyway, it seems really well put together and well thought out, nice gearbox despite the low miles but the thing that really stood out was how firm the bike felt but it was still extremely comfy and floated over the crappy road surfaces without transmitting any jolts to me. It also seemed very stable but at the same time very flickable & responsive. Hard to say much about performance with running in restrictions but all in all very nice indeed.
Strangely he was having trouble starting it each time he switched it off. I think(hopefully for him) it is because the starter button is recessed and with his gloves on he wasn`t making a good connection as gloves off and bingo every time.
