Any of the Kevin Schwantz chapters in Mat Oxley's #WinnersSinnersGrinners are absolutely cracking 🔥

Rose-tinted glasses and all that, but gosh would I like to grab one of these by the scruff of the neck again 💗

Cuando era pequeño, había una tienda en mi pueblo, que, además de vender chucherías, enseñaba matemáticas. Lo de la "oferta" de las palmeras es verídico.

Took the two beasts for a ride today - what a riot

The real challenge in academia isn’t publishing papers, it’s managing to sneak my fave bike journos into a linguistic framework. Today I presented this empirical study on audiovisual input+captioning at an international conference in Santander, and Neevesy was there!

I started reading Bike when Rossi still raced for Honda 🧓🏼. To see myself there on the November issue feels completely unreal 🤯
Thanks, Mufga & Co 🙏🏼

Fork seal replaced 🔥. Time to bleed the front master cylinder (didn't know radial ones were prone to getting air bubbles) and back to business with the ol' gal

When my peanut-sized brain decides it's a good idea to place a dodgy rubber band as a fork travel o-ring, only to find out it got pinched in the seal after landing a Denis Healey, squirting all the fork oil all over the bike and boots 😬😬😬😬😬

Pau-Arnos circa 2013 onboard my lovely '08 Blade. Furry hump an homage to Monsieur Serge Nuques, le (incredibly talented) motard fou.

The highest - and the lowest-revving Yamahas at their time. Owned them both. Each a different kind of wild, yet both provided fun by the absolute bucketload 🔥

Cream-crackered M9RR aside, the irregular pad imprint on the disc might be pointing to a pad deposit 'hot spot' 😬 after warping original discs and mounting EBC pads, it's beginning to unnerve me 😕

Cleaned the caliper umpteen times, clean discs before every ride. Advice anyone? Cheers!

Yeap, it was heavy, chunky, lumpy, bla, bla, bla.

But on the right road, on the right day, the MT01 was a very, very special bit of kit 💗

Flicking through a 2010 issue of Ride—this must be the same 748 Ducati Paul Berryman from your clip, right @neevesy33.bsky.social ? 🧐😊 Btw, he's giving some good advice here

#OnThisDay today, really. Twas fun in the Navarre District

New rubber day. Sticking to sticky M9RRs. My mechanic (Juanjo) was cool enough to let me change the pressure sensor myself, after unseating the tyre 💗
