  1. Just received the first 'Two Wheels on the Road' greeting of the season 👍☀️

    Honestly made my day seeing another #Motorcyclist out.

    Just remember to wear proper gear if you're heading out. Still rather poor road conditions in parts of Europe. We have a lot of strong winds as well here in Sweden.

    Attached a picture of my Hanway Scrambler below for the sake of it.

  2. Just read several articles today where the #motorcyclist died from a wreck, and "he was not wearing a #helmet."

    We are told to "Watch for motorcycles" repeatedly, but you have to do YOUR PART also.

    Please, if you're going to ride, be safer about it.

  3. So #motorcycle riders of the fediverse… what kind of minimal dashcam would you recommend? I have been riding since the early 1980s without any “incidents” on paved public roads (though I’ve hade my share of falls on dirt tracks while competing in rallies in a previous life). But now I thought of getting some tech “just-in-case” scenarios given my work commute these days are like this : share.icloud.com/photos/0305ao

    I would prefer a reliable, battery operated dashcam that can last my 40 minute ride to work (where I can recharge). That footage was from the akaso ek7000 but it looks bulky and clumsily mounted and probably will attract attention if left on the bike when parked. Any suggestions for a budget of around 200$? Tending towards insta360 go 3 - slightly beyond budget. Anyone use iPhones as dashcam without damaging the phone?

  4. There are days I hate people more than on others.

    Slept in a campsite tonight, tried to fell asleep while some drunk idiots were shouting in the distance.

    A #motorcyclist, camping next to me with his bike next to his tent, started the engine and rode away at 6:40 waking up not only me but the whole camp.

    Next, having my breakfast under a small covered area while it’s raining, a fucker smokes upwind next to me.

    Fuck you all!

  5. I'd like to nominate for the #Darwin award the 200 or so #motorists who tonight drove past (nearly over) a #motorcyclist who was lying on the ground after a serious #roadaccident on #TulseHill #London. Clearly no fucks given about human life, they just beeped and drove round over the pavement, with debris everywhere, cos the guy dared delay their journey. I had heard the horrible noise of crushed metal but thought no one had been injured from the way #cars were driving thereafter. I was wrong.
