If you post other people's vehicles, at least censor the licence plate. Beautiful machine though!

Don't worry, I'm signing the owner up for cat facts as we speak.

Genuine question as you may have more insight, but is it really a necessity to censor the plate? We have access to thousands of plates every day.

[–] x3i@lemmy.x3i.tech 4 points 11 months ago

Well, I'd sugggest to treat the plate like a face, you (hopefully) would not post a stranger's face online either, despite seeing countless of them every day. Sure, in itself it seems to be harmless but you never know what consequences this can have for an individual person... I believe everybody should have autonomy over their identity, which means all data that identifies them, such as the unique identifier of the vehicle that is likely exclusively used by them. I might be overly cautious here but I know that I'd be severely pissed if somebody shared my plate online :D

I wonder every time how they stay on these slippery long seats, every bike I owned had some kind of ass stop. Never had a real modern one, only 70s and 80s ones and when I really get on the throttle, I need a stop for myself, maybe that's an old bike thing and the newer ones offer some hold, idk.

Oh man, close! It was Ball Ground, behind the Barrel House Coffee.
We stopped by for lunch and stretch our legs for a bit on our way up to Ellijay

Barrel House. Was in there about two months back. Good brew, not a fan of the bourbon-flavored though. If it tastes like bourbon, needs to be actual bourbon. Don’t tease me.
