I'm trying to resist the AI videos [1] that several of the people I went
to Everest with have made, but sifting through everything manually takes
a lot of time.

I like this one quite a lot, captures what it was like quite well:

lovely scenery and so lucky with the weather

PSA: incidentally, Firefox said the vid was corrupt. Had to fire up Chrome
to see it.

Agree.

I couldn't see the first video on my Chromebook, sound only. The 2nd
one played OK. Looks like you had a blast.

Neat. But not for a flatlander, that gets uneasy on the goat trails, that Norway put route numbers on.

I am curious about the thread patterns, it looks like street tires, that IME would be bad beyond hard packed dirt.

The route is advertised at 80% paved roads. Sometimes it felt like a lot
less, I didn't ever have any issues with low grip. But again, we had
amazing weather, it could have been a very different story.

I was wondering if UKRM needed a power cycle...

And the sudden dropoff in postings followed the resurrection of a couple
of folks not seen here for a long while. Not the best way to keep up
interest in the group!

Alternatively, no one liked them when they were last here, so everyone
pissed off when they reappeared :-)

I was beginning to think it was something I said! I stopped by rec.moto
to see if anything was going on over there. Feck I made a hasty retreat
it was no antedote to the relative quiet here uk.rec.moto!

Unfortunately rec.moto seems well and truly dead, with only
the occasional racist troll stopping by to post some vaguely motorcycle-adjacent garbage.

Yeah, I often seem to have this effect when I walk into a room.

How about if I promise just to drop by every 15 years or so? That should
be plenty of time for the conversation to flourish.

bar door swings open, conversation stops, heads turn, everyone stares
for 3 seconds, all heads go down and stare at their drinks in the "I
can't see you, you can't see me mode"
Stranger leaves bar, door flaps in his wake.

Give it a couple of days, there will be some BMW/Ducati Black Friday
thing soon.

That would be a really sad day if I really did break the internet. Can't
we blame it on cloudflare or something?
