Had that with the Daytona....loved it this is fun and a good very fast road bike but had to rain it in sooo much as to tap into its potential as this is going to shred my license/prison time if im not really careful.

so it was quite frustrating really and in this day/age of cameras. 

I know it's a ballache. I'm gonna do some more trackdays this year. 

I love that my bike does 100mph in first gear. 

I hate the 186 mph limiter. 

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good one 

Sitting in bed with a hellish flu bug (unless it kills me in which case nothing I guess). 

Reading this crap almost gave me a stroke. 

I'm just posting this to maybe help people understand and not just get so irate, because stress is a big killer. 

Insurers lost a TON of cash during covid (as in are still in the red), weirdly, I'd have thought everyone had the same premium but crashes were massively reduced, but it's true:

Also, if insurance costs more than your bike is worth then remember they have to cover third parties so if you crash into a ferrari they have to pay out the £1m. Suddenly your £2k a year doesn't seem so bad. 

Insurers are a necessary evil to protect you as well as everyone else. They pay out if someone knocks your off your bike etc. 

"yeah but they're still a bunch of c***s!!!" 

I've seen people on YouTube use then to varying degrees of success if that's any use?!

So every single filling station will have to stock these swappable fuel tanks?

Looks like they will take up a lot of space. 
I’m all for hydrogen fuelled vehicles and always have been, but they will have to eventually make those tanks a lot smaller to make this direction for bikes more viable…

I mean, if it takes off eventually you'll get more stations. Like the early days of petrol, or electric. 

Shucks 

Is this true @Bender?

I took my bike for a 30 minute ride, as that is the best way to preserve it over the winter. It also keeps me rider fit.

Surprised that a mere 30 minutes of charging the battery is sufficient? Guess it depends how often you ride it.

Just tell it what you want, then ask for explanation anything not understood

Annoying it often categorically makes up things;  yes admits it when questioned, but still what do you believe?

They have repositories for that on git hub...

Get access to GitHub copilot, it will write the code for you pretty much

Doesn't sound like a good way to learn! 

Mine is the same - my speedo was showing 70mph buy I got clocked at 140? 

Welcome! 

Nice mate - those 2 bikes are what I recommend for beginners on here all the time

Classic ChatGPT effort @geofferz: deceptively convincing yet demonstrably wrong.

But if you're 19, you can take the A2 test. This is just one of the things it got wrong .

Don't ask it to do a better job; it just apologises and comes up with a different form of wrong.

 

Is that not my error from the start? 

Good point to check though. Who was it recently who asked it a maths question and it was just wrong? Then asked it to check and it was like oh yeah sorry. Crazy, how does that happen? Calculators don't get sums wrong do they? 

Happy birthday geeza! 

Now trying to get it hosted as an unauthenticated webapp which is proving tricky
