Looks very similar to the Trance in more than just colours.

Arsenal just showing off tonight.

Some days just work out. United were 16:1 an I was just about to put a bet then city scored. Foden is a machine. Saved me a tenner. 🤣

Well. That’s no lie. Cashed in made a few now have a bet on a draw. City score I cash in again. United still 3:1 would you believe. Crazy 🤣

More of the same. Max in a different league.

Too good to resist at those odds. United just need to score first an I cash in. 😂

Bookies have United at 10:1. that’s incredible.

Cars are closer. Going to be an excellent season but 33 looks to remain numba 1. some early predictions. Sargeant, magnussen, Perez gonna lost their drives. Ferrari are going to win a few races. Russel will outscore 44 again this year. ( like 2022) alpine are terrible. Damn.

Nice resurrect.

Nice gesture from Tag and Max. Although max probably does not actually pay for it.

Sadly sometimes sports folk lose their way. Just like life I spose. Very talented folks too. Too much hype, too much expectation, too much money with no sense of how to use it.

Dave Myers passed away, he of hairy bikers fame. ( dark haired dude)

Of course, I am a cantankerous old bastard. but I only see this trend in the west. I have 3 sons. The last one is born a generation after the first one. There are marked differences in how they view the world. Actually quite interesting. But I digress. yebo yeah, let the red bulls do their thang. Living close to McLaren I support lando. 😂

I hear you. And I see it myself. Youngsters have a different view of the world in the west.

Or the problem was not really a problem to start with. F1 is a high pressure environment. Folks in teams sometimes work 36 hours in a row. When teams have races on consecutive ( or 3 ) weekends it’s a very military like organisation. It has to be.

Horner a free man. Case dismissed.

Jeugland, that’s right. Blue jumpers as I recall. i was at norkem park high. Lived in birch acres. the hospital was a great facility, was used as a training hospital as well. State of the art facility. My eldest was born there, cost me a total of 20 rand back in 1988. ( put that in perspective I was earning bout 1100 rand in 1988) he had some complications due to his mothers and my blood types, so had a few tests done and was kept for a few days. Best 20 rand I ever spent.

One case I have been watching with fascination even after moving has been the case against vodacom regarding the “please call me” saga. latest is vodcom should pay in excess of 29 billion rand. Crazy crazy. Vodacom now approaching the con court. A loss there will cause them untold damage. Mind boggling really. And to be honest , if the SCA got it wrong then one has to question the ability of the SCA. Very tricky situation and all parties stand to lose

I agree, if I was going to ride up Africa it would be on an Africa twin. Horniest looking adventure bike of all of them. Probably most reliable too

It’s nearly friday

Let’s talk head torches. What do the ultra folks use for over night runs? main concern is comfort and longevity of the battery.

So, Everton get some points back. Makes a mockery of the whole thing. but they face a second sanction possibly.

A few thoughts after living with the 850 GSA for a few weeks and a few hundred miles. the motor is incredibly lively compared to the 800GT, revs far quicker and pulls like a train, which is surprising given it’s only a few more horses and torque about the same ( on paper). Given the gsa weights a lil more than the GT makes it even more surprising. Speaking of weight, the GSA is a lardy beast and carries the weight relatively high. It’s a lil intimidating to be honest and coupled with the 21 inch front wheel , the high seat height (875 mm) makes it a large beast. At slow speeds it’s something I am aware of and need to be careful. Won’t be green laning any time soon but off the beaten track on nice dirt roads is a pleasure. the electronic components of the bike are amazing. Adjust seat height etc , loads of info on the dash and the navigation works well. Never liked the sat nav systems so the gsm nvigation is great. And the app that interfaces is excellent. First time for me to have this feature. The cruise control works well , although unlikely to use it too much here but going up to Scotland in July so will use it to give my hand a break every now and again, works well. The speed shifter is something I doubt I will use. Just no need for it on a street bike and having ridden for 40 odd years without one it’s not something I would view as needed. BMW ownership experience is amazing. Can’t fault it. Part of the ownership experience and KTM could learn a thing or 2 here. Price of the GS and GSA is a little on the high side when comparing to other brands but the residuals are higher so all good there I spose. great bike all round. Will need to learn how to ride it properly at low speeds and being mindful of the weight. The new GSA900 is almost the same bike with the larger motor at a few grand more for one more model year and the GS900 has a few changes but at a bit more expense. The GSA models are always a year behind the GS models. Example the GSA1250 is still being built for this model year .
