My first lesson sure was stressful. Instructor thought I already had the „small“ 1b (now A1) license, so he skipped the parking lot training and sent me into traffic right away on a Honda CB-1. My experience at this point was 30 minutes on a friend‘s 80 cc dirt bike…

Happened to me during my first lesson, so I decided to stop at the side of the road to let him catch up. Stalled the engine, caused a little traffic jam… had fun.

Here in Germany, it’s mostly an issue with accidents caused by old drivers. „Toddler fatally injured by car“ — no, the headline should’ve been „98-year old driver incapable of handling his two ton SUV killed innocent 1-year old“.

But that would maybe upset the newspaper‘s biggest customer group.

I miss him. He would have had a field day with the current US government.

All three had to be hospitalized, one even with a helicopter ambulance, but no life-threatening injuries, according to the police report.

Indeed. Whoever calls the V-Strom „boring“ hasn’t revved this little gem to the red line, I guess.

Ouch, that must have hurt! Get well soon!

Reality is a bunch of dudes standing around your bike and discussing technical details… also, what happened to the face of the white dress girl on the left?

I didn’t go inside, but it seems to be made especially with generation Instagram in mind. The rooms offer lots of options to capture shots from strange angles. My daughter immediately recognized it when I showed her the picture. „Oh, that’s somewhere around here? I know it from TikTok!“
