Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #14Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #13 Well, I'm human, so by definition flawed. I was referring to the idea (not mine) that a real-food based meal that is colorful is more likely to be tasty and healthy than a bland, colorless meal. But then don't you in the UK eat things like sheep bladders or something? It's not a "thing" here, so maybe food tastes are continent-dependent. I noticed you avoided commenting on Lizzo and Miley...LOL! |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #19Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #18Zitat von Beerman im Beitrag #17 We have Taylor Swift. She isn't representative of the nation...she IS the nation. Some even say she's responsible for the strong economy. I'm not one of those... One of Britain's best exports is the band "Dragonforce". A lot of talent there: https://youtu.be/qVxeLyPUnIo |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #22Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #21 Wasn't Richard Thompson with Fairport Convention? I had the "Liege and Lief" album and recall "Matty Groves" as one of the good songs on that album. As for "derivative tosh" (I love the Brit slang, by the way), you have to admit that musically it's a step up from Herman's Hermits. |

Just saw one of the new 1300GS models today. The 2024 model lowers when stopped and and put itself up on the center stand.

After reading this review of the 2025 BMW R1300GS by Revzilla it seems to me that the bike spent too much time cooking in the BMW oven: https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/ar...4-bmw-r-1300-gs

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #25 It's beginning to look like motorcycles are becoming frames in search of more technology to fit into them. I can't help but think of the obese space denizens in "Wall-E", who live out their lives having technology do everything for them. No thanks. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #26Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #25 we seem to have a load of people, past or current GS owners on the UKGSer forum, seeking simpler bikes with Royal Enfield dealers doing well. Although, I notice even these have LCD panels that can be connected to a phone to display directions.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #27Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #26Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #25 I'm sure some would consider resistance to ever-increasing technology a "Luddite" syndrome, but honestly I think people may really be growing weary of technology-creep. Somehow we have 3 or 4 remotes for our TV system (all needed to operate streaming, plain TV, DVD player and sound system). Last time we drove a "new" car was when the local dealer lent us one while our 15 year-old Lexus RX was in the shop...it took at least 15 minutes to figure out how to operate all the controls. Of course my perspective is due to age, but I miss the "old days" when life was simple, friends were actual people and news was delivered to your door in paper form instead of in a digital "blitz" that has a half-life of 15 minutes, delivered by a ditzy "celebrity influencer" on Tik Tok. Apologies to all the "influencers" out there..may your gluteus maximus enhancement bring you joy. |

My car is a 1999 Saturn station wagon with roll up windows, just two airbags and all of its controls are push buttons or sliding levers which can all be operated without looking at the dash. Each button only does one task. The only thing that is impossible to find quickly are the horn buttons which consist of two buttons embedded into the bottom quarter of the steering wheel.
