I would have killed to have seen The Doctor race with this helmet (ft Bartolo, a well-known Spanish comedy character) in any of the Spain-based GPs. The crowd would have lived him even more

Early noughties. MasterBike. I would have never thought I'd see @neevesy33.bsky.social having a blast on a maxi scooter, let alone feel jealous of him! 🤣🛵

So unusual to find a brand which sticks to their principles so firmly. Hope my shoei-shaped bonce mutates some day because Arais always look the coolest

Valentino Rossi’s first premier-class victory lies halfway between the release of Pink Floyd’s "Wish You Were Here" and the present day. Holy cow 🧟

Genuinely interesting. Had no idea "anti" sine waves didn't need to match the opposing input ones absolutely perfectly to cancel sound. Massive game-changer if it works (and awful news for Moldex, btw)

Another terrific clip by Neevesy here 👇🏼 I remember the first time I listened to a crossplane-crank R1. Pau-Arnos, 2009, full race bike from a bloke doing the French national championship. Thought it was a V2 until he gave it the beans down the straight 🎧🪇🪉
