A French motorcycle - whatever next? Voxan 1000 Roadster in the paddock at Prescott speed hill climb 2007.
Faster than rider, despite being a lardy semi-custom bike.
Went well in a straight line though. 99 mph through the finish at Shelsley Walsh that year.

I shall be going to my U3A creative writing course this Friday. After each of us reads out our latest <500 words piece, the others write short comments on small pieces of paper (anonymously)and pass them to the author. Moltbook 'users' should do the same 😂

What is Moltbook? The strange new social media site for AI bots
A bit like Reddit for artificial intelligence, Moltbook allows AI agents – bots built by humans – to post and interact with each other. People are allowed as observers only

My mum had bombs dropped on her as a child. My dad bled on a beach in battle. I'm not yet bored of rules-based coexistence, because anger isn't the same as education, history isn't a comic, and interesting times don't just happen to someone else.
