Now ~ ~ You will get Nutter Blacks killing White People just to get in on this Grift / Hustle !

It's infuriating how many White People that are getting killed by Blacks ~ ~ Often Nutter Blacks that have been wound up by Race Hustlers / Race Grifters ~ ~ Sometimes these Race Hustlers / Race Grifters are White people that then toddle off to the Wealthiest Exclusive White Areas.

Funny How these Wealthiest White Areas are often where the Black Race Hustlers / Black Race Grifters end up as well ! !

In the last year or so I have noticed many random four provinces flags flying here and there. I don't know who puts them up but they put effort in as they are on high poles in prominent places.
Might they be patriots who are not fond of the masonic ish tricolour or something like that?
 
That is an interesting thing indeed, and maybe a new movement would need a new (old) flag

I don't think they're masons but as far as I know they're patriots against the plantation and they've picked that banner to stand out.

I think they're the same guys who put up the End the Great Replacement fleg on a bridge and the Kalergi graffiti too.

That's a very hard question to answer.
Have a look at done deal.
But a lot of that vintage will be silly prices.
Depends on the milage.
Police bikes would have been well ridden but well serviced.
Plus can it start?
Is it corroded or perfect.?

Would you say there is a cut off age for starting into motor biking? I am tempted by it. Not the racer type, more like the sit up and beg style. My wife says it a mid life crisis and I’ll kill myself off it.

Personally I would advise you to think very carefully if you never rode a motorcycle prior.
If you're going to get plenty of tuition and start small capacity (125_250)
As you age your reflexes ain't working the way you were in your 20s.
That said I ride the bike every opportunity from march to October.

It’s certainly not too old to try. If you have done some cycling in the past then the right reflexes should be there, they just need bringing out again. The only way to find out is get along to an instructor who has a private space to practice on and give it a try.

Modern bikes are far safer than when I started, they handle better and come with ABS and tyres that could only of been dreamed of just 20 years ago.

If it is of any encouragement the lady in my life started as a pillion at 61, and she loves it!

Very valid about the safety of the bikes and tyres compared with 30 years ago.
If you hit shiny tar on the old Avons!!!

Absolutely crazy even considering anything over 200cc for a novice imo. A honda 175 ideal, and indeed a 90 if they still exist to start .

I could buy a monster bike and gauranteed, i would finish myself in a mile. I never rode bigger than a 175 myself in fact

It's all done by power rather than capacity nowadays. We are a long way from trying to get the ton out of a 250, a quest which resulted in some very dodgy bikes indeed. My Suzuki GT250 was meant to be able to do it, with the help of an optimistic speedo, but persuading it to go round corners was not such a simple matter.

There is a much more stringent testing procedure now which includes the need for proper instruction. I think the first bike you are allowed on once passed is a 34hp, quite a big bike for when I was learning, but they are different machines altogether today. These bikes can be tuned down 750's even, but mostly around the 500 mark, which means you get the feel for a bigger bike while constrained in performance.

And yes, I've lost a cousin and a friend to biking accidents. The first was knocked down on a moped and would probably have been OK if he had the speed to keep up with traffic, while the second got pissed one dark night and rode into a railway bridge, not much you can do about stupid.

Have Michelin Road 6 tyres on the Tiger and when out on changeable day recently I couldn't tell the difference between the wet and dry tarmac, although my instinct was to back off anyway, which probably helped. But still, with 135hp on tap I thought it might have tried to let go occasionally.

Big machines.
I have ridden them and the 1200/1250 GS but don't like the weight.
That's why I went with the R1200R much easier to manage.
The African twin is the most manageable but its pretty top heavy fully gassed and loaded.
OK for one but two up don't think so!

The 1300 GS is BMW's answer to criticism of its top heavy bikes methinks. I slung my leg over one last weekend and the weight is a lot lower, it felt quite manageable rather than being the Herulean task of keeping the Tiger upright at anything less than a brisk walking pace.

Yeah I have the Michelin 5s.
Very very reassuring and last pretty well.

I hadn't actually looked at the price but yep, that's some hit alright.

Mind you, I was looking at an Irish tour company's site recently, it topped out at 25 k for a three week trip. There is still money in America yet!

This.

I have no experience with road bikes, but used to do a bit of playing around on dirt Bikes, 125's, 250's occasionally. Never trusted myself to own a road bike. Wrong personality for it, not attentive enough. It would have killed me.
 
A 20ish year old was killed in Walpole Sunday morning, a car turning into his path. Just a few miles from me

Different deal on a bike though. Much more likely to be fatally or severely injured in a motorbike accident.

Even if you're the best rider who ever lived, the sheer amount of fucknozzles on the roads make biking a dangerous prospect.

I get it. Well, I don't actually. But I've got a cousin who's a bikie and that's more or less the argument I get from him. It's a way of life, I suppose.
 
Hmmm....

Y'know, there are actually a good number of people who need this worship of magnificence to give their own lives some purpose. Be it the Royal Family, Hollywood or Bezos and his bimbo they delight in it all and are happy to see their money go to support it.

Incomprehensible to the right minded, but 'tis the way of the world unfortunately.

That has merit at this stage now that he has gotten out of the real danger zone of 17 to say 25
 
I noticed we can only embed one video or tweet per post now - has that setting been changed by mods for some reason? We used to be able to embed multiple videos in a post.
