A text from my mum. The general population appear to be losing their minds

These are the people getting huge tax cuts โ€” paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

To me, Tilly Norwood is the moment AI jumped the shark.

It encapsulates the vapid, hype driven marketing of Ai & its offering.

Itโ€™s the exact moment the trough of disillusionment arrives.

I am the consummate car guy. I dedicated my life to creating and adoring them. But I have also learned that life is better when you donโ€™t need one. Iโ€™d rather take the bike and/or the train and I love living in a walkable city. Itโ€™s not about โ€œtaking away your carโ€, itโ€™s about giving you a choice.

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. Itโ€™s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform.
A relentless klaxon of failure.

Thanks for posting these. It was an excellent show full of interesting cars and interesting people. I only took a couple of photos but you seemed to have photographed all my favourites for me. ๐Ÿ‘

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Yes, very much so. YouTube needs more Brompton content especially by normal folk who arenโ€™t ultra athletes doing impossible things.

Iโ€™ve long given up commenting on it, howeverโ€ฆ
Trump applauds that murderous fuck Putin onto US soil.
He treated Zelensky like shit.
Trump is a dog fucking cretin.

Sadly the platform I like the most, this one, I have the least engagement on. The same three people like my posts and that's about it.

28ยฐC, coffee & cake at Gleshsee, highest road in the UK. 6hr ride with great people. Not racingโ€”just views, laughs & new roads. This is why I ride.

The wealth that would pay for halfway decent pensions now resides in some Cayman Islands account, is why.

I think I may have just discovered the chemical composition of a Spanish orgasm.

Yes. Lots of people blank me in Enland at least. Most non-Harley riders in Scotland still wave rather than nod. On a recent tour to Norway everyone waved, even the Harley guys joined in which was good to see.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

Hearing people switch between multiple languages is one of my favourite things. Iโ€™m so envious of people who can do this. As a native English speaker from the UK, itโ€™s difficult to learn/practice other languages even when travelling especially since so many people speak English as a second language.

Day by day the news popping up in the UK. Bikers are being killed on our roads virtually every day. The roads are too busy, people donโ€™t care about each other. Look out for yourselves, allow more time for the journey. Get extra training. With Firebike itโ€™s available for free.

22 years ago this month I rode this bike to this building to start a new job as staff writer at Bike magazine.

Today I rode the same bike to the same building to start a new job as editor of Bike magazine.

It's been a two wheel trip, alright. Here's to the next leg of the journey.
