Give the seriousness of events in the USA, Motolegends use of Donald Trump in its latest newspetter is in particularly poor taste. #motorcycle

Yup, quite wonderful.

A fascinating essay: "Any system learning from feedback has to divide its effort between exploiting what already scores well and exploring options it hasn’t tried, in case they’re better."

In a *stellar* essay entitled "Temperature Zero for Culture: Why Everything Is Starting to Look the Same" by the data scientist Lauren Leek, we get a top-notch example of "putting things together": laurenleek.substack.com/p/temperatur... 11/

Er, I'm not sure this is right.

Whatever else the happening in the world, the heather is having a good year. #dogsofBluesky

now that we know how the new season of Reacher is (excellent), a thread about why you should watch What If A Man Was Large, The Show, in the form of a Q&A

Oh, FFS Clacton.

The bit none of us want to acknowledge: "I believe once my crash crossed the tipping point where a fracture became likely no matter what, the boot's job shifted: not to overcome physics and prevent an injury, but to keep what was already happening from becoming something far worse." #motorcycle

Some thoughts on #motorcycle gear from a physical therapist who just broke his leg in the Biltwell 100. In other words, a view informed from a couple of different angles. #motosky www.revzilla.com/common-tread...

Not one for polishing the #R100GS but I won't fit anything but the best when it comes to parts; even splashing out on Cohline fuel lines and Aba hose clamps, I still figure I come out ahead if I don't pay for labour. Now enjoying a beer and admiring my work. Cheers 🍻 #motorcycle #motosky

Walkers are being asked to unite to challenge attempts to close Glen Lyon hills this autumn. @ramblersscotland.bsky.social has today launched a petition to challenge a Perthshire estate’s controversial 2-month ban on accessing 4 popular Munros in Glen Lyon. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/new-pet...

This is an ABSOLUTE banger!

This is absolutely fascinating! (A tip of the hat to @racheldom.bsky.social for sharing it with me. Once again she brings art and understanding to this witless oaf's life.)

Composer and conductor Matthew Aucoin on the mysteries of orchestral conducting. A terrific, uncondescending explainer of a role that remains misunderstood.

This. Treating prisoners decently literally doesn't have a downside - not even financially.

Carlton Boyce@motoringjourno.bsky.social · last wk.

You can treat prisoners badly or you can help prevent future victims. It really is as simple as that.

Banana 'n' bacon, a combo I first ate in a Grantham pub in 1989. Heh, don't judge; it was cosmopolitan at the time. (The combo not Grantham obvs) Can't eat it without thinking of the town, which invariably leads to Thatcher, whose childhood home became a restaurant called The Premier. Oh well.

This is beautiful. #motorcycle #motosky

We completed the Recharging Round Britain road-trip on the 18 July 2026, after six days trying to, sort of, replicate the EV trip we undertook a decade ago. This is the audio from our livestream where...

Has anyone got any recommendations for winter motorcycling gloves for wide hands and short, fat fingers please? Size 12 fit my hand but fingers are too tight and long. I know Held do a short-finger version but I can't find insulated gloves. R/Ts much appreciated. Thanks #motorcycle #motosky

Not a doctor but my therapist after my sister died. 1. She told me that I reminded her of her dad: "Are you close?" "Oh no, he killed himself." 2. On the final session she told me her daughters were waiting for her in the car and had a message for me: "Cheer up, it's never as bad as you think."

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

It’s your one hour reminder! Join us both at 8pm (UK) to chat about Recharging ‘Round Britain. Find out how we got on, what we think now we’ve finished, how much it cost, and whatever else you’d like to know! youtube.com/live/KYdSHza...

Susan Butcher was the first person to win 3 consecutive #Iditarod races & first to win 4 times in 5 races (1986-1988, 1990). #Alaska honored her with Susan Butcher Day, the first Saturday in March coinciding with the traditional start of the Iditarod. She died #OTD in 2006 at age 51.
