After losing the front at Pau-Arnos circa 2009, mate Héctor & myself decided to defy superstition by placing decals with number "13" plus stickers of bikers crashing (e.g., gorgeous George Lorenzo's biggie featured on the front cowl) and similarly foolish ideas on our bikes - never crashed again 🤣

@sihbikes.bsky.social Apropos of nothing, Si 😊- do you happen to know when (perhaps you know on which models) traction control went from just ignition cutting to timing retard+throttle bodies-based TC? No worries if unanswered - thanks

Top of Mount Ezkaba, with the abandoned prison at the back. Hard to believe the carnage that took place here 87 years ago.

Feliz Cumpleaños to the man who makes two wheels sound even better in words 🏍️ May thy day be chock-a-block with everlasting wheelies, knee-down roundabouts, and faulty gatsos. Here's to many more FECing tours, @sihbikes.bsky.social 🏁

Does learning subject content (e.g., science) in English improve L1-Spanish kids' fluency/pronunciation/productive vocabulary? Surprise, surprise... Excited to share my latest publication in the Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Education ☺️ benjamins.com/catalog/jicb...

La gente que hace las cosas porque lo pide la Aneca es como quien pone el intermitente solo hasta el día que hace el examen. Luego salen al tráfico y son un auténtico problema.

@motomatters.com @matoxley.bsky.social Anorak racing question 🤓 do you happen to know why back in '98 the 250s mounted radial brakes and the 500s still mounted axial ones? In some ways the RSW looked more advanced than the NSR. Thanks and pardon the outta-da-blue question 📸 Patrick Braz & Unknown
