Spherical Bastard:
i.e., "a bastard no matter which way you look at them"...
.. is going right into my daily lexicon of descriptive phrases 😈
'Grazie' Max Vanoni & Fiona Tribe 👍

Genuinely impressive zero-whinge 'get on with it, lad' stuff. If they were using #8 Wire for weld filler they could pass for Kiwis 👍
"Bondo & Paint... makes 'em what they ain't" 😜

With this lot there was nary a quiver of anxiety of someone else dropping a dime on you... but remember to hold your wallet in your teeth when you showered 😈

AMA SBK: "In a den of thieves nobody calls the cops"
It was glorious! As EVERYBODY cheated, that meant NOBODY was cheating. Complete RG500 'works' front end? Why not. 80% of 'stock' chassis now 4130 Cro-Mo w/Al swingarm? You bet. 3" shaved off crank width? Fuck-off & mind your own kit, mate 🤣👍
🤔
Who's your daddy? 😈
No idea who was actually first, but when in Mandello del Lario...
But Strada, not Corsa. '50s GP bikes started with a simple link-type that developed into a sophisticated four-bar design with near perfect anti-dive geometry.
PS, Note (for the time) massive axle support 😉👍

Morbido signs a new contract with VR\46 for next year:
"For sure, I'm looking forward to this next challenge"
Now go run over Crafar's scooter 😈

So, how do you say "Jared... peel me a grape, bitch" in Farsi? 😈
🍌😮
Right from the "Contact your Doctor if an erection lasts more than 8 hours" playbook. They're peddling AI slop as boner pills so powerful that either you get on board... or stand sheepishly aside as others drive railroad spikes into bedrock using only their vigorous & prolonged pelvic thrusts 😈
🤔
No rush, mate: World may blow up quite soon, and THEN where would you be? Dog-tired & feeling very foolish, that's where. OTOH, if a collection of barking-mad twats FAIL to immediately extinguish human existence, you'll still have something to fall back on until Jerez...
.. but pace yourself 😲👍

"Never interupt your enemy when they're picking a fight with a geographic feature". We'll run out of missiles & bombs long before the IRGC depletes its stocks of Hormuz Strait. Iran's negotiating strategy now appears to be:
"If you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow" 😠
😬
Well, now that you fucking asked...
"No, I did NOT have this on my 2026 Bingo Card" 😠
🕊️💨
"yoink" 😟
😬 🐘
I'm in good company 🤣👍
🤔
They are the 'precious' ones, mate. As in "Fuck-off, precious" 😉
😍
Brilliant, mate! Both define the concept 👍
My 750 Commando was (just) proper side of 200 kg. My '66 Bonnie w/Doug Hele bits ('70 front end & swingarm), some Thruxton kit + light flywheels = @350 dry/375 wet.
Trumpet = Young lads only. Norton = Lovely as memories of 1st-kick starts will abide 😈
😇 ⚖️ 😬
Checkpoint Chubby 🚧
If a bike weighs more than 200 kg, plated w/lights and a FULL tank of fuel, we've crossed a border. What lays beyond is a hell-scape of floorboards & handlebar streamers: Welcome to the Land of Lard...
.. and no amount of BHP over the XSR900 GP's 117.5 can save us 🪶

Memo to reasonable investors:
Markets can remain irrational far longer than you can stay solvent betting against them. AKA "gamblers & professors both die broke".
Knowing something very wicked may indeed this way come... provides exactly fuck-all insight as to 'when' in the short term.
👊😉👍
Full respect for what Max is accomplishing in pursuit of humankind's most noble endeavor: Transforming hydrocarbons into thunder & glory.
Chapeau! 🏁🏆

Advice to the skint:
Many, many types of motorbikes can be a joyous means of transport, yet KTM remains bent on peddling ONLY ones that look like they're about to lay eggs in your brain. Then fertilize them with a carbon-fiber probe.
RE will sell 1,250,000 non brain-egg laying bikes in '26 😉👍
Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

Lumpy seems to be oblivious to the following:
China can end his nonsense with seven Y-20s.
3X w/Anti-Ship Systems
3X w/Anti-Aircraft Systems
1X w/Chinese 'advisors'
They won't do it to ease the pain on the PRC, which is minimal. But might in 6-8 weeks to be seen as the 'saviors' of SE Asia 😈

1962 Missile Crisis: USN didn't blockade Cuba, it officially imposed a quarantine. The former has a very specific legal meaning and is classified as an Act of War. Lacking a formal declaration by Congress, a blockade is just piracy 🏴🦜
PS, Blockade running shows dash, but is hard on the ears 😬

A quest to leave a mark as you navigate the scratchy patch from child to adult remains unchanging & unstoppable: We may only influence its direction. If you're told you're replaceable by AI Slop or forever shackled to shitty McJobs...
