The Code is the Design

Tried watching another popular motovlog yesterday for what seemed like an interesting topic, the Royal Enfield biker cafe in Goa. Within the first 5 minutes, the man almost destroyed the bike simply trying to shift it to neutral. He literally did almost everything from trying the electric start to nearly breaking the shift lever, but not the one simle thing he had to do to shift gears; move the bike. He then proceeded to botch a kick-start demonstration, in what was not even an old-school Enfield compression kicker. This is not an isolated individual though. The entire field of Motovlogging appears to be filled with people who know almost nothing about biking, but have huge followings. Not that every Motovlogger has to be a professional racer. But shifting gears and kick starting? Come on! But there are also a few individuals in the field who really seem to know their stuff. Guess there will always be those who do and those who talk, and time will separate the wheat fro

Psychologists mention how ASPD type people appear more attractive to the opposite sex. Psychologists also talk about super-stimuli. Is it possible that super-stimuli might affect both genders? The ability of ASPD types to effortlessly mimic behaviours that they know people are instinctively drawn to, may be a kind of super-stimuli that prevents people from forming more normal attachments. This may also be helped by the media portraying extreme characteristics as more normal than they are; things like excessive confidence and effortless charm etc, which are more characteristic of NPD and ASPD types. Using gender-neutral terms here because the argument applies equally to both visual and psychological stimuli. ASPD psychological tactics may be a kind of super stimuli too, not just the NPD visual ones. Push-Pull etc are well known psychological ploys of control. This is extending that argument to more psychological stimuli. 

Understanding and dealing with the motives and tactics of the sociopaths and psychopaths around us.

From veganmotorcyclesuit.com . "Our products incorporate high strength materials such as Kevlar and Superfabric (the most resistant fabric in motorcycle gear). Materials that will give you maximum protection while doing what you like most. Without having to choose between one option or another." "Animal exploitation for textile use, besides being cruel, is one of the greatest environmental impacts due to the excessive use of water and the use of chemical products used to prepare the leather. Non-leather materials do not contribute to this, and therefore are more sustainable." . Also see Kevlar motorcycle racing suit .

These modern super-sports have a lot of electronics, very fast but also very well-behaved. Have not yet crossed 200kmph , but no wheelies or stoppies so far even with aggressive acceleration and braking 🤞🏼🙏🏼 Very controlled! Included Core Tech The electronic ESD set is from Öhlins. Note that the ESD warning goes off if you start the bike when it's moving. This is probably because the ESD caliberates itself on startup and can't do that if the bike is moving. Stopping the bike and restarting everything should fix the issue. The KQS includes the auto-blip downshift. KTRC also takes care of wheelie control. KIBS is exclusive to super-sports . Included Derived Tech Most of the below tech is based on the last two systems above; and includes KLCM , KCMF and KEBC . Would be interesting to go through all three generations of vehicles to see how they've evolved from zero electronics to heavy electronics 🙂 Technically the electricity f

Background As a former regular biker myself, the term super-bike always seemed a bit hyped. Had two 10-12 BHP bikes for 10 years, a ~15 BHP bike for 6 years, a 25 BHP bike for 9 years, and now a 47 BHP bike for the last 3 years. The last two actually had plenty of power for any kind of city usage, and most highway usage as well. But after having finally moved to a 200+ BHP super-bike after 30 years of biking , one has to admit that there are significant differences in the categories. It's simply not the same kind of machine. It's not even the same world! And I've barely even scratched the surface of what this bike can do. First Week Break-In First of all, here are my personal notes from the first week of a complete by-the-book break-in. BTW, that is something I've done for all five new bikes I've had. Regardless of whether the bikes need it anymore, I believe the riders still do.  That would also explain why even bikes that cost as much as several cars are still
