They got a new motorcycle mechanic at work. I haven't met him yet but damn near took him out on the main road when he was going for a test ride. That joker needs to slow down through there. Popped around a corner on a narrow road.

i like the mechanical accessibility and simplicity of an earlier era of machinery. sometimes its a simple matter of taste, at others its pragmatism.

i can work on an old british machine using a level of skill that i have already acquired. even machines i have nevrr had apart. i understand the designer's mind. not so a ducati, or an aprilia, or anything from japan since the 70s.

 but change is inevitable. not always thought through. i may have mentioned this before, but electric cars will kill the used car market.

a tesla battery is supposed to last 300,000 miles. they cost US$25,000 to $35,000. how much will i pay for a used tesla that will soon leave me with a dead battery? and thats assuming elon is correct at 300,000 miles.

The Asmo is all exotic and almost-feel-goody today... Though in a grumpy, potentially smity way, of course.

I never did the Yamoto. Hmmm I might right that wrong.

I wonder why I like the little Triumph better than the clearly superior Honda and Suzuki bikes.

It's built on a human scale for its riders' pleasures.
