Good quality ATGATT is not cheap but the last time I was in ICU I was looking at R2500 per day for each of the 6 beeping machines that were hooked up to me, some directly plugged into my wallet! This excludes bed and breakfast and physician room service.

I fully agree that Brad is wasting his time at KTM! On Sunday Brad lost an average of 0.665 second per lap to Bagnaia. Sure he lost time waiting for Miller to crash out, which held him up. I had Miller crashing on lap 4 whilst the wife went for lap 9! But was Brad really trying? His...

Untrue! Checkers will not be able to deliver goods within 60 minutes when they use KTM bikes!

Poor Brad, surviving a white knuckle race on the orange turd that is almost as good as a 2023 Ducati? Maybe we should start a GoFundMe page and buy Brad a 2024 Ducati and a can of orange paint for next year?

A famous SAAF instructor used to tell pupil pilots that you start flying with a vial of luck which is used up, but could be convert into knowledge, during incidents. Running out of luck, without having established the required knowledge, will kill you. Biking could have similar features.

Injury Patterns and Severity Among Hospitalized Motorcyclists: A Comparison of Younger and Older Riders https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3217482/ You are likely to need good jacket, gloves, pants and boots, but you could just get lucky!

Hipstones are probably as bad as kidneystones but in my experience have a more significant impact. Hipstones hide on gravel roads at scenes of unconventional dismounts and wait for jeans clad riders, those without those sissy, CE rated, hip protecting foam pads. The best thing about walking...

Times are tight, with position 2 to 15 covered by less than 1 second. If you assume similar track lengths the Wunderkind in position 11 lost out to The Beast by less than 250 mm!

Relax Aleix, Jack Miller will not be racing in MotoGP, he will be riding a Yamaha!

These bolts, for those awkward situations, are now available in metric sizes

Hungarian made Feg 427, 4.5mm breakneck. Owner emigrated, left it with me. A very dirty gun that seems to have spent most of its life in a gun bag Little wear on the locking surfaces Lots of surface rust But the bore looks fine and over 9 metres it shoots to point of aim

Jack Miller Jack Miller is reportedly set to remain on the MotoGP grid in 2025 with a lifeline at Pramac Yamaha to be announced soon.

Will Aldeguer get at 2024 or 2025 Ducati? Last year Fermin was signed by Ducati after a string of SpeedUp/Boscuscuro wins in Moto2 This year he has gone off the boil a bit If Pecco, Marc and Gianantonio are in line for 2025 Ducatis, where does that leave Fermin? Maybe he stays in Moto2?

So Brad managed to drag that orange turd across the line 8.644 seconds after Bastianini. That is the thick end of one second slower per lap. But if we take total race time and add 1 second for the first lap we find that Bastianini performed at 99% of his qualifying time. Similarly, with one...

The dark bulb in the image is a great example of a little known physics principle. The Dark Sucker Theory For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these...

Remember the piston return springs!

Ek het in 1972 met n geleende bike in n donderstorm by die lisensie toetsgrond aangekom. Toe sê die oom vir my: Gaan ry daar in die reen terwyl ek jou lisensie skryf!

It is frustrating to see the KTM/ GasGas riders suffering with their crappy equipment. It seems that the last performance input KTM had was when Miller brought his Ducati experience to the team, suddenly there was a discontinuous performance improvement. There seems to have been only...

Petri there may be another approach Take the old lounge chair and do an Intro to Offroad course with a BMW accredited vendor. In my experience this teaches you two things, what the bike can do and what you can do on that bike It makes a huge difference
