I feel your pain. On one bike my plate is drilled through and secured with bolts and nyloc nuts. On the other it is pop riveted on.
But when I lived in Switzerland they have a rule that you can have one plate and use it on all you bikes. They all have to be insured but insurance is way cheaper for the second bike. Logic is: you can only ride one at a time. Same for cars.
So I was riding in Germany and a police car pulls in front of me with the FOLGEN signs on, we come off the motorway and drive for a while to a police station.
“Do you know why we stopped you? Please watch our screen. Here we follow you - you are doing 170 this is fine. But here the limit is 100 for the tunnel and you are still going 120 - this is enough that we fine you. And here in the tunnel … your plate falls off”.
Well shit.
They wouldn’t close the tunnel so I couldn’t recover my plate. They impounded my bike because no plate. I had to walk out of there in full leathers and weekend bag, get a lift from a stranger in a nearby cafe, get a bus, get a train back to Zurich. On monday, report my plates lost at Kenton police. Get new plates at Traffic office. Next day go back to the police, collect my bike, back to work.
I am no longer in CH, now my two bikes have two different plates, pop rivets and locking nuts.
And somewhere in the world a dog is chasing, biting, or just being aggressive to an innocent person. Humans are animals and when we collectively realise it’s wrong to keep another animal tied up and led around by the neck as a ‘pet’ - just for pleasure, the world will be a better place.
I had the same setup for my son when he was little ( now a long time ago). It’s the best place for a child. You can talk to them you can hear them, they are cradled in your arms. They get to “help” steer and do the bell.
Wouldn’t have them any other place
In some countries bicycles and motorcycles have the front brake on the same side (right side). In Germany and USA I think it is not that way, but I change my bicycles to match my motorbikes - any other system may lead to unintended results.
BTW - you should mostly be braking with your front brakes, I think you have have seen trouble from weight distribution shifting forwards.
I have a two week trip in France planned - not sure how far I will get but from Calais heading towards Switzerland. I plan to do this mostly off road, so everyday is a single track day. And carry a tent and oatmeal. I have toured in France, Italy (very nice), Germany (closed on Sundays and sometimes Saturday afternoon), Switzerland - stunning, bring a credit card, Thailand (north to south)(saved by 7/11s), Cambodia, a bit of Java.
We plan to hire a car and drive to see the eclipse in August. I think it will be too hot.
The logic of a llm is that it creates phrases from patterns of “most likely” sequences. In some contexts this can seem right (like with predictive text on) but that hides how in technical areas AI actively drags peoples belief towards the generic most common usage which is often plain wrong. And the more AI is used, the more a body of mediocre or false information will exist, creating a devils circle of language use. People who strive for perfection or improvement will be drowned in the flood of lazy AI.
Late to comment I know - I saw this post as I was searching for 1198 no idea why it was in the results. Anyway …I don’t see a flag. I see a bikini with stars and a very pretty girl. I think you might be focussing on the wrong things (not a surprise).
The girls who ride the bikes were all naked. In most countries they added a red bikini bottom on the artwork. I believe in the US they had to add bikini tops too. Good ol’ US. Home to the world’s porn but not able to permit a girl to be seen on TV in bed without a bra on. After all that - not Queens finest hour either of those songs.
Quote “this will probably be my main project”. Yep. Everything that Rubber says plus … tank may be ok. Start by washing it out with petrol and ball bearings (take tap and filter off). Also consider adding an external filter in your new fuel lines before the carb. Gearbox may be the reason it was left to die, or may be straightforward - you will have to get it open. Resist the temptation to turn the engine over again. Post lots of photos. Have fun.

Thank you well for your kind and respectful reply. We aren’t going to agree but I feel we could get along - I wish you a good day.

Ricky and Morty spoiled this cartoon for me. Justin and friends spoiled a lot of things for a lot of people though I think. Damn it
Without seeing the video:

Thanks to this discovery, now you can!

JBL speakers had wired input. As well as Bluetooth. Potentially buy a/hand now. But anny old speaker will have audio quality of its time. https://digimigia.com/do-jbl-speakers-have-aux-input/
I read once, when you pack to go on a trip, take half as much clothing as you think you need, and twice as much money.
I can haz cheeseburger?

Perfectly safe. He wears a helmet. And his ike has reflectors front, back and on the wheels, so it all complies with safely standards.
