Progessing towards my 10000 km European tour means choosing my motorcycle. You're a motorcycle fan? You know how difficult this is.

Way too much thinking going on in this article.

Wonderful area I've heard. It will be part of my big tour in 2027.
A confession. I hadn't seen your channel before. Subscriber now!

450 is fun but I would wait for the 750 launching in a few weeks. I'd love an old Transalp though. It was my dream bike when I was younger. That and the VFR750!
Likewise, I look forward to your thoughts!

Loving the stack system!

Chippy @meetmobility.com · 14d

I'm writng an article but it's far from being ready yet. Of course, V-Strom 800 is up there but there's the Transalp and about 6 other contenders. Currently: VFR800 which, of course, is an option.

I'm impressed. Google Vids cloud-based 4K video editing on a Chromebook. Drive and Photos integrates seamlessly.
Kit: No lighting. Lumix G7 (4k/30). Rode videomaker mic (cabled), cheap Lenovo Duet Gen 9 to upload and edit.

I really see that. I'm currently choosing a new bike for a 10K km tour and struggling with desire vs efficiency!

Today I was prepping something for LI. Then it turned into an LI story. Then I was like...why should I give this to LI? I didn't post it. I am now considering posting it on my own website so that I can at least prove provenance and retain ownership, despite the fact that LLMs will steal it.

Chippy @meetmobility.com · 14d

As an efficiency nut, the fact that bikes are so innefficient (distance per rider, per dollar) really annoys me. But, yes, the other outputs are what keep us going.

#23 in the Android app charts here and losing relevence in my mind.
Last call for Insta?

It feels to me that Meta have too many overlapping platforms right now and not enough traction in the Chatbot space.

I'm certain that we'll find early answers in the 15-20 year old group. We need to have them speaking and answering questions at conferences. Thanks for the infor. For the record my son, 15, says "my searches are 10% chatgpt, 90% google", "YouTube is over" and "Mr Beast is finished".

Sweet! Rounding it right now wth Blue Lines. Genius!

...which really doesn't help in the fight against even more serious problems facing the world.

When I connected the first ever UK internet cafe with 2mbps I was so proud. Now, im embarrassed at the way this platform has been abused.

Wife and kids away for the weekend...

Chippy @meetmobility.com · 16d

See you there!

Chippy @meetmobility.com · 16d

I guess all you lot in the US and UK had this months ago. AI Mode front and center on my phone now here in Germany.

2026 is going to be a wobbly year, especially in our sector of button-pushing.

So I'm staying in a campsite near Nijmegen and need to go to the supermarket. There is only one choice when you're in Wijchen. Hello @yoast.com

The Ship building in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. Nov 2014. I'm planning to revisit this beautiful city in 2027.
