Does anyone here use special pants? by LaOroBob in c/motorcycles@lemmy.world
[-] LaOroBob@suppo.fi 3 points 4 months ago

I have a pair of jeans with knee and hip pads. While I believe the stretch denim material helps keeping the pads in place, it also cuts off blood circulation on longer rides (around the knees). Got some cargo pants with protectionnow, which are wider and more comfortable. I don’t commute though, but want to to feel comfortable while having a coffee or lunch break during a ride…

After a long biker career (1986 - 2000) and a long pause I started again after moving to the Canary Islands.

First with a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in 2021, now this BMW R nineT Scrambler, which I took for a ride along the coastal roads.

The RE is an excellent bike for the money, but the BMW (weighting roughly the same) is some real joy to ride in this environment.

Let’s hope you’re right. However I think there is a larger scheme going on involving the big tech guys around Peter Thiel pulling the strings … and it’s obvious Vance is a puppet they put on the field.

The worst is yet to come if they manage to put Vance in power instead of the orange guy…

This. I literally only started to use WhatsApp and FaceBook when i moved to Spain, because otherwise it’s impossible to find, evaluate and contact any business here. Need a craftsman? Reserve a table in a restaurant? -> whatsapp

Here, people have not the slightest conscientiousness about data protection policies

That’s interesting - I have a C1 (2021). Where or how do you block these updates and have it connected to your local network?
