  1. I recognise that road it’s in Croatia, Karlobag to Senj section. It’s fantastic road to race when not busy. Perfect corners and surface. But when windy, usually is closed for everything except cars. Wing blows 60mph easily with gusts up to 120

  2. My merc is pure blood German, and Ktm is diluted German blood (Austrian), dog is German Shepard with uk passport.

    Unfortunately my iPhone is Chinese, and iPad as well

    On positive side my wife is English.

  3. What's safer then - an advanced rider with loud pipes or an advanced rider with quiet pipes?!

     

    I think it depends. Those with "advanced" riding/driving qualifications who go just go about their business might see a benefit from louder pipes.


    Those with "advanced" qualifications who bang on about it ad nauseam are likely to get little benefit as other road users will see the all encompassing glow of their self righteous smugness from some considerable distance, thus rendering the loud pipes superfluous.

     

    It's the special aura that advanced qualification riders have. Us lesser mortals just don't have it.☹️

     

    It must be

  4. People are generally annoyed by motorcycles just because it is motorcycle. In Austria when they started research in order to limit access to some roads for motorcyclists, majority of interviewed people said they were just annoyed by bike presence.

    Than we have helped a lot by super loud pipes. Anyway I manage to ride just around one hour without dB killer, after that I can’t here myself. Therefore dB killer stays in.

    Popping and backfiring, I don’t care, I just enjoy to ride not to listen.

  5. Back protector saved me twice, chest protector if I had one would probably saved me of broken ribs.

    Glows, top priority, when sliding every normal person will put arms down, so if no glows, no more skin on palms/fingers, I saw that.

    Boots, another high priority, broken foot bones are terrible, and skin rush as well, it goes to the bones.

    But I will not underestimate any other piece of equipment, trouser, jackets.


    Helmet not to mention as it is mandatory.
