    I don't have a V11, so I did this instead; 8 lbs of Crayfish, four sausage links, potatoes and corn in a "sauce Louisianian" with crêpes, because Mardi Gras, no?

    @rosso corsa If I am not mistaken, the new EUx normes don't apply to previous generations bike. In theory you could purchase and ride one. Unless of course you live in one of these new "zoned" cities where you can't use an older vehicle that is not compliant. I think only the Germans have exemptions for 30 years old vehicles at this point. Anything in between, no luck!

    It has sold. The add is no longer available. Remains the YouTube video at this time.

    E Pluribus Unum: Enea Bastianini! It was not Francesco Bagnaia, or Jack Miller, or Jorge Martin, or Johann Zarco... What a fantastic result for the late Fausto Gresini team!!!!

    I found a nice suit, but I doubt it is made of noble leather. Besides, I am not certain the lace will not wear out prematurely...

    See what I mean? The jacket tailor made from Foxcreekleather has a comparable price with some of the pre-owned jackets I looked at on the Fedora Lounge. They look pretty good too.... With a leather jacket, here in Texas, I don't think I could wear protections. Unless I intend to pass away from dehydration. I need a Café Racer Leather jacket suitable for Death Valley!!! Maybe this one? https://www.foxcreekleather.com/mens-summer-riding-jacket/

    There is a similar train of thought for guitars. Nowadays, people want their brand new guitars look like they have been played 50 years.

    I bought my cheap Korean summer jacket on Ebay for a few dollars. Maybe its me, but I was imagining that clothing several years old and pre-owned should not attract a large premium. I am not talking about collectible wear. I am going to keep looking. Eventually, someone will just look for somebody to give a second life to a jacket that is no longer useful to them.

    Zarco was going to get to Q2, his last lap was good enough to put him in front of Fabio and Brad; However, his lap got cancelled since he through a yellow flag, which are no longer flags but lights. When you are on a flying lap, the last one of the session, the one that you had been waiting to ace for the qualifying, you have to hang back? I agree that it should be the case during a race. Many pilots trying to get in the front. But during a qualifying lap, it is not the same. I did not see Zarco overtake anyone as the yellow lights flashed. I understand the safety principle, but he should then be given the chance to repeat the lap.

    This is what my Le Mans sings to me....

    Pity, they don't work on V11.... Only on older models....

    Zarco was the fastest at FP4 today. As this is the practice used to check the bike in race configuration... Too bad that at this point, he has to go through Q1.

    It could have been done on post-production too. It is simply amazing how photographs can be corrected to make you look... better, different, younger, slimmer; Thank god the V11 does not need any artifice to look sexy1

    Shot with an emphasize on the white shirt, leaving the face in the shadow, so focus would be concentrated on what the photograph wanted to show. Did it work?

    I like this shot. I am guessing it was done with a Tilt and Shift lens; you do not happen to have the EXIF to confirm?

    I took a quick look this morning; some of the pre-owned leather jackets I looked at were more expensive than a new Shangri-La Café Racer sold new by a shop here in Houston... I will look more, but prices don't seem realistic and I don't haggle. Is the brand Aero Cafe Racer Black any good? I thought a used leather jacket would be around $400; https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/fs-aero-cafe-racer-black-custom-collar.107112/

    Not such a great start for the Ducati this morning.... 12 is best with Jorge Martinez. Francesco Bagnaia going down for good measure. Early days of course....

    I am going to need a leather jacket too; What should it be? Shott or Shangri-la? Shott has a red leather option; I usually purchase pre-owned. A leather jacket in Texas maybe a bit of challenge, but I need something to affix my patches.

    I used to go to Austin for week-ends before the notorious technology companies decided to congregate there. I have seen how it affected the cost of living there. I no longer go. I also attended the SXSW each year. As far as conviviality, in the 70's you could actually talk to the pilots. Barry Sheene used to remember my name as he was seeing me around. I spoke to many of the pilots, including Giacomo Agostini when he was still racing. Today pilots are never alone when they walk through the paddock, they are recluse in their motor-homes, I feel bad watching the fans begging for crumbs of attention. I had a real conversation with Jack Findlay! I can't imagine doing the same any longer. The MotoGP guys are like eels nowadays, very slippery.

    Here's the link to the video; if I remember well, MotoGP does not allow embedding. This is a three hours long video; as LowRyter would put it, some of us have too much time in their hands. A few highlights; -Fabio Quartararo was very chatty with many pilots. That he is fluent in Italian and Spanish probably helps. -Marc Marquez was spotted examining the other bikes during the "freeze frame". He was a gentleman accepting taking shots with the "little people" of the MotoGP. Nice! -Dovizioso was invited by a rider to check out the new Ducati; however he declined when noticing he was being filmed... No, I don't care for MotoGP; I just enjoy the social stuff.

    The thread subject is Pic of Girls +Guzzi.... I have a broad interpretation... ;-)

    Since I know you like Lola, I add two more of her pics...

    @docc sorry!

    Here's the video that goes with it. How reliable is it? 12k Canadian Dollars. Someone should really pick it up. It looks very nice to me.

    I just received the flyer, but I have not gotten my flag yet. Most worrisome, my Le Mans is still at the hospital. I am also supposedly going to Alaska so I think I am not going to be around.
