I was talking about it to a mate earlier today. He said, "yeah ok but they have to put up with DJTRump"....and like we haven't got our own problems... For F's sake we can't even leave Europe (and that includes all, that chose to take part, we haven't beaten in a war or 2 in the past) without 2 and a half years notice , and then we are now asking for an extension so we can drag out this sh*t even longer! Our politicians are too busy feathering their own nests and not doing their job's, but then you could probably say that about politicians around the world.
Anyhow, aside from all that the UK, USA, Canadia, NZ and Aus are similar in a lot of things except for space....i.e. we haven't got any, which really irritates me. I look at R3's over here fitted with highway footpegs (different countries will have their own terminology), and I think, in the UK, ....why? Every few minutes/seconds you are either changing gear and/or braking....there just is no relaxing riding that would justify spending £60-100 on highway pegs that are very rarely going to be used.
Just my two penneth worth.
