    Ducati MultiS, Sthn MWay 8 Feb

    Didn't get the number plate but was a red Ducati Multistrada(?) with a female pillion wearing a small backpack and a buttpack heading North on Southern Motorway at about 4 pm today.

    Your brake light was flashing on and off quite often as you rode in places where you weren't obviously braking. Possibly a dodgy wire or something triggering it, maybe your foot tapping along to the music!!!

    Disconcerting for the cars folowing.

    Nice bike by the way.

    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    Pretty standard for Italian electrics. I'm surprised the tail light works at all!

    Nothing new here. Iti bike + electrics means the rider was probably using the horn. Luigi is fucking hopeless with electric string.

    I wonder how it's possible that an Italian built the first battery (Alessandro Volta, that's where Volt comes from...). Or how another Italian the first atomic reactor (Fermi).

    I blame the kiwi driver

    The majority of batteries are made outside of wopland (would you trust one actually made there?) and you don't have many atomic reactors on a bike.

    You've got Magneti Marelli in a lot of high end applications in bikes, cars. F1, Motogp, just to name some very basic applications. Injection systems, traction control, telemetry...
    In the '80 yes Italian cars and bikes broke down all the time, but it's not like this anymore.

    Wopland?

    And what did Fermi die of? I can assure you that Volta did not invent the Leyden Jar.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I went through a phase of tapping SOS on my brakes when in the car for a laugh (not so funny on the bike). No one ever tried to save me
