But it's Wiltshire, not God's county, which is Dorset!

Dear people of God’s garden*. If you’ve ever been to The Royal Oak in Swallowcliffe, you will know that it’s the best pub in the county. Please formalise this view by voting for it in these awards (under the ‘best-loved pub’ category). The staff would go proper menty if they won. #BollocksToTheBeckfordArms *Wiltshire wilts.muddystilettos.co.uk/awards/vote/?f…

The Menai Suspension Bridge is a suspended bridge over the Menai Straight.
Built by the Romans in 1066, the bridge connects the Antelope pub on the Welsh mainland to Waitrose on the island of Anglesey.
At over 3 miles long, it is one of the longest bridges in the world.

@denkmit Agreed, but IMO naked WSBK race bikes should perhaps conform a little more closely to the production model’s silhouette.
English
When I say things like ‘modern Superbikes should be naked bikes like the original ones’ this is literally exactly what I envision

Sad to hear Swiss ace Jacques Cornu has gone to the great racetrack in the sky. He was a real character, always fun to interview. Despite being way too big for a 250, he won three 250 GPs (including the 1988 Austrian GP pictured) and finished third in the 1988 250 series, behind Sito Pons and Juan Garriga, riding for Michel Metraux, one of the founders of IRTA, along with Mike Trimby.

Sometimes, when opportunity presents, you just have to find a way. Note the reg number 😉
I did a thing!

Completely agree. I was expecting so much more. And where’s James Burke when we need him?

Very disappointing coverage of the Artimis launch by NASA. SpaceX has raised expectations well beyond what we saw tonight. We need live telemetry, live on board and exterior cameras, not ‘visualisation’.

@matoxley He hasn't won a GP race yet this year, but he has won a Sprint.

MM93 hasn't won a race yet this year, but he's still the most talented rider on the #MotoGP grid. In Thailand he said it would take until Jerez to really know how his bad shoulder will compromise his bid to win the 2026 title and equal the all-time record of 8 MotoGP crowns...

We've already sold MORE THAN HALF of the latest print of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography and we won’t print any more for several years. This is the ONLY MM93 bio that covers his life all the way through his remarkable comeback to his 2025 title success. Click the link matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc-m…

@classicrider @mototingle @BulldogBDX More smoke & vibration, I grant you, but still better for towing a caravan 😁

A 1974 Suzuki T500 about to cast a lasting shape in my life. I’m quite fascinated with it. Although it doesn’t run, has no electrics, head gasket has failed, carbs leak, fuel tank rusty, numerous other issues I’ve noted on its job sheet. Am I gonna fix it?
You bet I am 🔧
English
@classicrider @mototingle @BulldogBDX "Almost like a 4-stroke"?! Standard T500 makes more torque than CB450 or CB500/4, & at lower revs.
English
@mototingle @BulldogBDX What they’re NOT is an out and out sports bike, being designed for all-round use and not street racing. They’re amazingly torquey, almost like a four stroke . They can be tuned though and Bazza raced one quite successfully.
English
@classicrider @mototingle Tingle’s T500 takes 1400cc of transmission oil which also indicates that it’s a ’74 motor with the ‘overflow weir’ issue addressed. (Despite my assertion yesterday, the evidence is stacking up that it is indeed a ’74 bike with 69-’70 tank/sidepanels.)

Yummy Coffee Transmission oil ☕️ #StarBucksNewFlavour
It’s old, oxidised and begging to be changed.
Light brown like this normal in ancient motorcycles, while deep dark brown almost black screams overheating and potential damage.
English
@mototingle @classicrider @Castrol That's primarily for ltd slip diffs (no wet clutch involved).
I'd use Motul Transoil Expert 10W-40.
English
@classicrider what gear oil do you recommend?
takes 1400lm, I was thinking @Castrol transmax limited slip ll 75w140
English
@mototingle Not sure if you’re fixing the T500 for someone else or for yourself, but if the latter then this will be of greater interest.
Good luck with fixing it, whoever owns it.
English
@mototingle In depth T500 tech info is all in the June '24 edition of the VJMC's Tansha mag. Can DM you pages if you'd like, but not this eve!).
English
@SamWTotter You are so knowledgeable, it’s fantastic.
I am making notes as it’s all new to me and I don’t profess to know what I have here
I do know it leaked petrol on my workshop floor earlier
