and don't forget this:

Edward Eugene McMahel - also known on YouTube as "Max Wrist" got himself sentenced to 720 days and then some...quite a light sentence considering the rest of the charges

On March 16, at a general court-martial convened at Vicenza, Italy, Sgt. 1st Class Eugene McMahel was convicted by a military judge, pursuant to his pleas, of two specifications of attempted sodomy for the purpose of receiving a thing of value, one specification of disobeying a commissioned officer, one specification of recklessly operating a vehicle, three specifications of sodomy for the purpose of receiving a thing of value, two specifications of assault consummated by battery, two specifications of assault consummated by battery upon a child, one specification of aggravated assault upon a child, three specifications of adultery, and one specification of obstructing justice. McMahel was sentenced to be reduced to the grade of E-1, to forfeit all pay and allowances, to be confined for 720 days, and to be discharged from the service with a bad conduct discharge.

We could send him a check for $Thoughts and Prayers/100.

Out of curiosity, I checked his latest video only to see him toss his bike down the road.   LOL.

Maxy can ride - but he's a total jackass.  And seems like he almost intentionally baits the people that ride with him into crashing.   Nothing boosts his view count like a good wreck.  Seems like there is always a sucker riding with him for the first time who ends up in the woods.

He uses a 360 camera on a selfie stick mounted to the bike quite a bit, which allows him to get multiple angles simultaneously, and then he can switch back and forth in the edit.  Those are becoming really popular with all the moto vloggers.   The software even makes the stick invisible - but you can see the shadow of it on the ground.


As far as better moto content on YouTube:

Missenden Flyer - pretty tame riding, but he's prolific in terms of content and generally puts out quality reviews.  Monthly recap video of the weekly MCN papers if you're not a subscriber.  I just got my first issue and really enjoyed it.

TeaPotOne - Former London Cop and rode an R1 around the world a few years ago now.   Left her majesty's service recently after internal affiars took issue with his videos - specifically riding 10 over. (some knob viewer didn't like his response to a comment and put in a formal complaint.)  So, he started a tour company.  Lots of good videos in Spain.   Loocah Ah ThaA!

ItchyBoots - Round the world on a Royal Enfield Himalayan, currently on hold due to Covid.  But now you have time to catch up on the last two seasons.

If not for the recent cold snap, I'd be out riding at least a little bit.  I did get the oil changed and the first 100 miles of the season a couple weeks back. Looking forward to next week, not just for riding, but to get out in the garage for a good detailing and will do the brake and clutch fluid as those felt a bit spongy.  Did them both last year, but it's amazing how much more I notice the it as I've gotten older.

It’s not illegal, by a technical reading of the rules, which only bans aero spoilers attached to the fairing.   Ducati even got advance clearance from the Marshall’s/judges/whatever. I follow a podcast by a couple British bike journalists called “Front End Chatter” and they always recap MotoGp in depth - and that was their take anyway....  regardless of how you look at it - I’d recommend that podcast to everybody - one of the best.  👍🏻

The spoiler really isn’t illegal, by a strict reading of the current rules. Kudos to Ducati (and Yamaha ran one last year for at least one race) for developing new tech to make the bikes faster.  That’s the whole point!

Either they will change the rules, or all teams will be running these soon. Probably you can buy a 3D printed one from FleaBay for any liter bike already. 😂

General Banter / Is it too early?

I have an appointment at Aerostich this coming Friday to get fitted for a new set of gear.  Still on the fence whether to go Roadcrafter or Darien, but leaning Darien with the heated liner.  Definitely prefer 2 pc. 

The real question is - should I ride?  🥶😈

It’s 225 miles from home straight up I35...  Kind of a waste of rubber, but I’m desperate to get the bike out!

I think too many is exactly one more than you have time to ride.  As such, two bikes is too many for me.

I posted about it on FB - but recently tried another good spot East of Caledonia on HWY 249 in Freeburg MN; "Little Miami" Bar / Resturant.  Excellent Broasted Chicken!   Last 3 miles to the river is gravel, but its paved from Caledonia to the restaurant.
