Just came back from the UK yesterday. After spending 18 days there. I have to admire you guys especially the delivery drivers on the scooters and motorcycles. The weather was not the greatest rain, cold, snow in some areas and yet you guys are still riding. Hats off to you guys! Enjoy your vids from Kansas City, MO.

The low flying plane you saw is a Basler BT-67, which is a refurbished 1943 DC3 airframe with modern turboprop engines. It is flying low-level around Cornwall for a couple of weeks doing geological surveys. It is crammed with high tech ground penetrating radar.

Here in Australia was returning home from a 250km morning ride through the valleys and mountain passes of SE Qld and Northern NSW. A couple of km from home in the city area and there is a very mid teen looking young kid in black shorts , black top and BMX style helmet riding an unregistered E bike ( Suron bee type ) in the middle lane of a 3 lane 70km per hour busy main road . The E bike brigade youngsters are rife here , they ride unchecked on the roads, footpaths shopping precincts , chucking wheelies , these bikes easily do 80km per hour ..ridden by rich kid youngsters and adults , no licenses , no rego , they ride in packs or solo. That’s where the lost generation of young motorcyclists have gone …the 15 year olds will stick with their powerful unregistered and unlicensed gig …until they buy a E car ..why buy a petrol bike with all the costs , when they can flaunt all the rules , no apparent crackdown on these Electric riders …it makes road safety in this country a farce .

I feel so sorry for the younger riders nowadays. I’ve had 48 years of riding so far but there won’t be many young folk nowadays that will be able to do that. It’s just to hard and not cost effective, and they just won’t know what they are missing. So very sad, Happy New Year Lofty

The fact you celebrate a 800 engine says it all really, it’s like celebrating a cheese sandwich, cos there’s nothing else in the overnight garage. The motorcycle industry is in a mess and we all know it. I was at a dealers on Thursday and the sales guy said this year, 2025 more dealers would close, it’s gonna get a lot worse.
