welcome!

I had to google it... never heard of it, but it sounds like you're right. If the source is accurate, "'Dino' is short for dinosaur. So in other words, dino oil is any oil made from crude oil or petroleum. It's also called 'mineral' oil." Sounds like dino is non-synthetic oil.

Those aren't pretty good... They're fantastic! Looks like a great time!

welcome aboard! Sounds like a great trip you've got planned.

Wow! One of the professors who used to work at the uni here studies the effects of asbestos dust from the vermiculite mines in Libby, Montana... No good. Laughed my ass off at the diving... Had to keep watching it.

hiya Harry. Welcome to the YOC. If you plan to stick around, you should introduce yourself in the new member area. Im not in the UK, but I've seen folks suggest Lee at Bikesure. Good luck! Lovely bike btw!

welcome to the YOC!

welcome aboard Chris!

welcome aboard! Am also patiently queuing to see the triton.

Last time I felt smug was on the interstate here... some guy with a big truck (and little ___) towing a horse trailer couldn't stand that he'd been passed by us. So he sped up to about 90MPH to pass us... fine by me, I let him pass and slowed to hang back a bit. So no less than five miles later, I smell burnt rubber and start to see the remnants of a blow out. He'd blown one of his trailer tires and was pulled off the side of the road. I laughed at him as we went by, which probably wasn't very nice, but I did it anyway... and then my instant karma for laughing kicked in and I ran straight into a nasty swarm of bugs that completely covered my visor!

Hiya Matevz! I'm not at all familiar with your bike, but if it's a 2017 shouldn't it be under warranty? I'd have the guys at the service center check it and explain it. You're far more likely to get a response from folks here if you introduce yourself in the new member section.

Interesting. According to the article, they're assuming the insurance industry folks have made accurate conclusions, but "...there isn’t a detailed breakdown of the statistics to check how the conclusions have been reached." I saw 20 professions listed (with worst 10 and best 10), but how many more professions were included? What was the number of men compared to women in each profession (not that I'm saying men are better drivers )? What are their ages? The list goes on. Statistics can be misleading... especially when they don't give you all the information.

Lucky gal! Here's hoping you find a great starter bike for her. Hopefully she learns from you too so she can care for it.

Happy belated birthday! Looks like you had fun!

Sweet! I would be too if it was my bike.

Oooh... Is that my RD350 I see?! Looks like a fun time!

That sucks! Sorry to hear it.

She drove a Plymouth satellite... No offense taken. I love planet Claire! We have STAR (skills training advantage for riders) courses here - beginning through advanced and also for trikes and sidecars IIRC. I've only taken beginning. Yep, lots of room to breathe here in Idaho.

welcome aboard!
