Slightly iconic. Fairly unique. Passionate pedant.

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.

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!

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...

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 🔧

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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
