Exploring the Benefits of Compact SUVs for Urban Living.

In the vibrant mosaic of urban life that characterizes Sri Lanka's bustling cities, the choice of a vehicle becomes more than just a mode of transportation; it is a statement of lifestyle, an embodiment of practicality, and a symbol of convenience. Among the myriad options available in the automotive market, compact SUVs have emerged as a favoured choice for discerning urbanites. These vehicles, with their blend of versatility, efficiency, and manoeuvrability, offer a compelling solution to the unique challenges of navigating city streets. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the multifaceted benefits of compact SUVs for urban living in Sri Lanka, while also uncovering the standout models that adorn the island's roads.

Manoeuvrability and Agility: Commanding the Urban Jungle. The ebb and flow of traffic, coupled with the scarcity of parking spaces, present formidable challenges for urban motorists in Sri Lanka. In such an environment, the nimble handling and compact dimensions of SUVs like the Honda Vezel for sale and Honda CRV for sale reign supreme. These vehicles, available for sale across Sri Lanka, effortlessly thread through congested streets and negotiate tight parking spots with finesse. The ability to manoeuvre swiftly through the urban jungle not only enhances the driving experience but also ensures quicker commute times, thereby alleviating the stress associated with navigating city traffic.

Efficiency and Sustainability: Driving Towards a Greener Future. With environmental consciousness on the rise, the demand for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles has never been greater. Compact SUVs, characterized by their efficient powertrains and lightweight construction, epitomize the principles of sustainability in urban mobility. Models like the Honda Fit with the best Honda Fit price in Sri Lanka, renowned for their frugal fuel consumption and agile performance, offer urban commuters in Sri Lanka a compelling blend of efficiency and versatility. By embracing compact SUVs, drivers not only reduce their carbon footprint but also contribute to the preservation of Sri Lanka's natural beauty for generations to come.

Versatility Redefined: Adapting to Diverse Urban Lifestyles. While compact in size, SUVs are synonymous with versatility, offering a plethora of features to cater to the diverse needs of urban living. Whether it is loading up groceries from the local market, ferrying the family to weekend outings, or embarking on impromptu road trips, vehicles like the Kia Sportage for sale in Sri Lanka and Mitsubishi Outlander for sale excel in accommodating the dynamic lifestyles of urbanites. With spacious interiors, configurable seating arrangements, and intuitive infotainment systems, these compact SUVs seamlessly transition from weekday utility to weekend adventure, enhancing the quality of life for drivers and passengers alike.

Comfort and Safety: Prioritizing Peace of Mind on Urban Roads. In the hustle and bustle of urban life, comfort and safety are paramount considerations for motorists. Compact SUVs, engineered with advanced suspension systems, noise insulation technologies, and a comprehensive array of safety features, offer a cocoon of comfort and security amidst the chaos of city streets. Models like the Mitsubishi Montero for sale in Sri Lanka, renowned for their robust build quality and advanced safety suite, provide drivers with unparalleled peace of mind. With features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking, these SUVs serve as bastions of safety, ensuring a secure journey for occupants in Sri Lanka's urban environments.

Pioneering Urban Exploration with Compact SUVs. In conclusion, compact SUVs embody the epitome of urban mobility in Sri Lanka, offering a harmonious fusion of agility, efficiency, versatility, and safety. With an extensive range of models available for sale across the island, including the Honda Vezel, Honda CRV, Kia Sorento for sale in Sri Lanka, and more, urban dwellers are presented with a myriad of options to suit their unique preferences and lifestyles. Whether it is navigating the bustling streets of Colombo, embarking on a scenic coastal drive, or venturing into the heart of Sri Lanka's cultural heritage, compact SUVs empower drivers to pioneer urban exploration with confidence, comfort, and style. As the urban landscape continues to evolve, these vehicles serve as steadfast companions, transcending the boundaries of conventional commuting and embarking on a journey towards limitless discovery and adventure.

In a country where economic considerations weigh heavily on purchasing decisions, value and affordability remain paramount in the minds of motorists. The Honda Fit, known for its practicality and fuel efficiency, continues to be a popular choice among budget-conscious buyers.

Cod men + what cars they drive

⤷ feat. The 141 + König

a/n: this is v self indulgent and the sources are the voices in my head thanks

CAPT. JOHN PRICE → 1970 Ford Mustang

☆ I can see Price being all about classics and old cars, so it makes sense that he would have a Mustang.

☆ However, if we had to think more british, alternatively i could see him with a Ford Capri, the british equivalent of the Mustangs.

L.T. SIMON "GHOST" RILEY → 2021 Jeep Wrangler

☆ Ghost couldn't care less about what he drives. He doesn't care for car brands, looks, and, let's be honest, my man's a terrible driver.

☆ With that in mind, he decided it would be better to have a sturdy car, for harsh terrains, and something more familiar to what he is used to driving in missions.

SGT. JOHN "SOAP" MACTAVISH → 2017 Honda Civic

☆ I can't justify this one. It's just the vibes. ☆ It might be a basic car, but it's reliable and looks cool, so i think that would be his reasoning. Gaz would laugh at him for it though.

SGT. KYLE "GAZ" GARRICK → Audi A8

☆ Kyle is the youngest of all of them, and we can assume he gets one fat paycheck by being in one of the most elite taskforces in the world. Plus, he's rarely home, so he's got to make his rare driving worth it.

☆ So it's plausible he would blow a big part of his payment on an expensive car, but that's ok because he would look incredibly hot while doing so.

KÖNIG → 2013 Honda Pilot

☆ Listen. It wasn't his first choice. König hates being noticed, so, logically, he doesn't like big cars at all.

☆ However, he was forced to get this one since it was one of the very few cars that he could fit inside comfortably, considering how absurdly tall he is, so he just accepted it and grew fond of it.

Here's an unpleasantly immediate glimpse into how the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge will impact the state of Maryland and beyond:

So turns out that photo of Jacob in our truck I posted a couple weeks ago? (I promise this is relevant.) That trip in the truck to go get the sheep a new hay feeder was my last trip in the truck. Truck ate shit on Jacob's way home from an event at Baltimore Knife and Sword the other day (I had to drive 40 minutes to pick his frozen ass up), and it'd take way more to fix it than the thing's worth. Now, he did buy a stripped down little Honda Fit as a commuter car a few years back, because the truck ate more gas than the US military, so we still both have cars. But we do still need something that hauls a lot of stuff and tows a trailer fairly regularly. At the very latest, we'll need something new before we can set up shop at Pennsic this year.

Anybody wanna guess where new vehicles are shipped into the state? Did you guess Port of Baltimore? You're so right! The now indefinitely closed Port of Baltimore! So while shipping goes through convulsions trying to establish new routes, vehicle availability is going to plummet, while prices go up. And prices on used vehicles will probably also skyrocket. Yay!

So there you go. This very real, very large problem for our family personally will be only one drop in the sea of consequences of the collapse of the FSK Bridge.

thoughts on the honda fit?

Love love love it! For one, I strongly believe it is the shape that cars should be. The mini MPV is as spacious as you'll ever realistically need and as compact as you'll ever realistically need. It is a perfect proportion that works everywhere and that there are as few such models as there are is downright criminal - and with the increased emissions, price and danger to our roads of the larger SUVy vehicles that are bought instead that word choice is only barely hyperbolic. Also, as has been mentioned, I tend to like Hondas: their interiors hold up great even four decades on, their reliability has very few exceptions, and they know how to make a car drive well when they want to. And the Jazz (as it's called in my neck of the woods) also has some great little features! The rear seats fold down flat! And fold up! They have little cubbies under them! And the front seats fold too! Look at them seats go!

I also like the styling of the first generation a lot, I find it has aged wonderfully! (Shoutout to that man in the background btw)

And the Sport bodykit really does wonders to its look.

In fact, it's the generation I think looks best. While overall they all look nice, I find the second one's front looks a bit like a caricature, the third one looks like it's trying to pretend it's not an MPV with unconvincing results, and the current one looks a bit like a deep sea fish taken to the surface.

The second generation is apparently just plain better than the first, the third better still in some areas but I've heard reports of it feeling a bit cheaper, but assuming you just want a verdict and not buyer advice (and folx who do, please ask, I will be happy to oblige) that verdict is: Yes, Good, Thumbs Up, Smile.

Links in blue are posts of mine about the topic in question: if you liked this post, you might like those - or the blog's Discord server, linked in the pinned post!

like once in a while I get the inexplicable urge to give the PSA that a Mazda5 is a 6-passenger minivan but in a reasonable price range AND much smaller than the gargantor vans that are more staple to the minivan market, aka it’s actually a normal and reasonable size. Get one today!

I continue to seethe with rage about the US car market which apparently has no use for cars that are not Gigantic, thus resigning the Mazda5 to end production in 2015 (and the Honda Fit (my beloved) to not be sold new in the USA (but can still be bought new in other countries, because other countries understand that it is The coolest car))

Low key I wanna get a 2015 Mazda5 and treat it right… special collectible item… except I don’t have 5 kids or That many friends to truck around.

#cyborg lifeblogging #I also want a Honda Fit #but I also think driving vehicles is kind of stupid #god my car opinions are so normal and superior

Imma go with:

What's your most prized possession?

What do you think says the most about a person?

What's a weird fact that you know?

Favourite extinct animal?

What's your go-to Starbucks order?

A colour you can't stand?

What's the last thing you said out loud?

What's your dream job?

Sorry lmao, there were too many good ones! 😂🥰

Thank you!

💎 my most prized possession is either the watch my grandfather gave me, OR the necklace Richard made me! I wear both every day and if I lost either of them I'd LOOSE IT

The necklace is a piece of rounded metal where Richard carved the airbender sign on it and my initials on the back! It was his v first Christmas gift to me when we had just started dating! 🥰🥰🥰

🐰 I think the way a person treats others tells me the Most about a person! If they treat people like shit, well. That's all I need to know baybee!! If they treat people well/nicely? ALSO all I need to know!

🙃 weird fact. hmm. i recently learnt that the 2007 honda fit was the first time fits came out! is that a weird fact? or, well. weird enough? (I like my car a lot it nyooms and makes sounds and is falling apart but i love it anyway and learning it was the FIRST??? hell yeah)

🦖 is it like. based to say dodo bird? I know 0 things about them but they sound like they were funky little guys!

🥤 none starbucks with left tim horton's (i don't like starbs. worst hot chocolate EVER. also BADLY over priced)

a lot of canadians are like TIMMIES SUCKS AND IS OVERRATED SINCE BEING BOUGHT OUT BY AMERICAN CORPORATIONS AND BECOMING A FOOD PLACE INSTEAD OF JUST DOUGHNUTS AND BAKE SHOP but man, where ELSE can i find a place that will make me a frozen cappuccino out of CHOCOLATE MILK???? SO FAR JUST TIM'S!

My usual Tim's order is a small iced capp made with chocolate milk, and a double chocolate doughnut :)

🧡 idk man! I like colours a LOT. They are all v nice to me! My house is red, my car is blue, my room is bright yellow...I think I'm gonna say bright orange! We painted our office bright orange. And BOY IS IT BRIGHT (Richard got the semi-gloss instead of eggshell so it is HELLA BRIGHT and I have. anger about it)

🌼 last thing i said out loud: LET ME KNOW down the stairs to Richard! There's an anime I wanna watch I think he'll enjoy (Violet Evergarden)

🔮 dream job is a successful author! I need to unleash crystal springs on more unsuspecting people, like. I need it BADLY. I know, though, that not all authors are THAT SUCCESSFUL so for now, while I work on the non-fanfic manuscript, I am more than happy at my current job (library with rare books!! :D)

I'd also LOVE to voice act. I think that'd be SOO MUCH FUN and get a lot of the unbridled energy out of my system!

---

no need to apologize! I reblogged the ask lmao so like, I ASKED FOR THIS!! :D

And in case anyone is like "tf", this is in response to this ask game

𝐈 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃! 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨, 𝒟ℯ𝒶𝓉𝒽 𝒪𝒻 𝒜 𝒮𝓊𝓅ℯ𝓇𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇

Aired 02.23.23

“Dedicated to America’s last platinum blonde bimbo, Jayne Mansfield.” Featuring music from Charli XCX, Rosalía, M.I.A., and more.

Listen on Spotify and Apple Music.

There's something about Jayne that called me to her story. A platinum blonde sex icon in America. From her youth she knew she was destined for stardom. Manifesting her future before the popularity of the Law of Attraction. She was seen as dumb, but was actually said to have a genius IQ. Though it's clear Jayne calculated her image, and how she was percieved. She met a terrible fate, dying in a car crash and the media spurred on a rumor she had been beheaded on impact. Though it was later proven false.

The whole premise of this weeks set, is reimagining Jayne's final car ride. An alternative plot line where she crashes the car herself. (Metaphorically speaking.) The beginning, "Cleo at Abbey Road" by Shygirl and "Interlude - The Trio" by Lana Del Rey sets the soundscape for the rest of the hour of music. In the show, I created a special version where you can hear someone getting into a car, after The Trio, starting the car, flipping through the radio stations, and "Vroom Vroom" by Charlie XCX blaring on the speakers. Signaling the beginning of the car ride.

The music throughout the car ride is a mic of female pop and hyper pop. Which I find fitting for someone like Jayne. The epitome of American femininity. Throughout you'll find music mixed with mentions and critiques of fame, femininity, and money. While also playing with the car ride concept.

"Bad Girls" - M.I.A.

"Suki suki I'm comin' in the Cherokee Gasoline There's steam on the window screen"

"Rich Girl" - Gwen Stefani

"Clean out Vivienne Westwood In my Galliano gown No, wouldn't just have one hood A Hollywood mansion if I could Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town"

Throughout the set a lot of the music has these themes of femininity and expression. Music like "Jennifer B" by Jockstrap "Supersoaker" by Eartheater and "Mwah :3" by Dinamarca also pushes in new genres I haven't played yet. I felt that the sets I was showing were not accurate to my current music taste. Electronic, hyper pop, and experimental.

"honda" - FKA Twigs

"On the (on the) M way (yeah) Honda (Honda), rizla (ooh), baby"

"AMERICAN GURL" - Kilo Kish

"In a locked box, in a locked drawer Will I find me an American girl? American girl"

"Paparazzi" - Lady Gaga

"Garage glamorous Not sure what it means But this photo of us It don't have a price"

Rosalia sings in "Dolerme",

"Acelero pa' ve' si consigo estrellarme Quiero que lo veas y no pienses en detenerme Y así demuestras que has podido olvidarme"

"I accelerate to see if I can crash I want you to see it, don't try to stop me And so you can show me that you could forget me Or, why are you not doing your part too? Step on it and let go of the wheel"

Another hint as to what's to come at the end. I love this song, and I found it so fitting.

Jayne was married to a bodybuilder, Mickey Hargitay. They ultimately became divorced. Azeliea Banks raps in "Count Contessa",

"Muscle Mike can't protect ya"

Jayne had so much in her life. Fame, money, and men. But ultimately none of that could save her.

Restating the theme of stardom and the critique of it. "scream my name" by Fousheé is a pop punk anthem of a rich girl at the club. While "XS" by Rina Sawayama is a direct critique to excessive consumerism. (Something prevalent in fame and Hollywood).

The final two songs tell Jayne's story. Of course I could have fabricated some alternate story line where Jayne lives, like Tarintino's "Once Upon a Time.... In Hollywood". But matter cannot be created or destroyed, and sadly Jayne in the end, ends up dying. Though in this alternate timeline she had control of her death, and more importantly had control of how the media would portray her.

"The Ballad of Jayne" - L.A. Guns

"Things ain't always what they seem What a shame, what a shame What happened to Jayne"

Motorcycles and Lego... again

Today I took my motorbike out of the garage and washed the dust and cobwebs from the machine for the first time this year.

Once she was clean, I applied a coat of wax and waited for it to dry before I buffed the paintwork until it gleamed in the sun to a level that was frankly disgusting. I used colour restorer on the fairing inner to give it back a nice deep gloss black and even cleaned the foot pegs. When I was finished, she barely looked like a nineteen year old, soon to be classic motorcycle. I don't know what has happened to the time, but it hardly feels like any time has passed since I bought my bike and started modifying her to fit my damaged frame. Now she is a nineteen year old relic of the petrol age, an age that is all too easily coming to an end for people in my financial bracket. The chances of my affording a new electric motorcycle are on the never happening side of slim and to be honest, despite my knowing that internal combustion engines are filthy, smelly things, I am rather fond of this one in particular. As I type this, petrol is rapidly rising in price, to almost two pounds per litre and I am conflicted. I want to ride my bike, but fuel is expensive. Yet, environmentally, can I justify using petrol as a resource to burn just for fun? The human addiction to hydrocarbons has created a cruel and unfair world, with the disparity in wealth and the political power of some, far outstripping the majority of every one else. So alas, I put my motorcycle away and retired to my office and my Lego...

Lego Technic motorcycles had developed over the last few years from basic motocrossers with odd engine choices, to sports bike that are carefully designed rip offs of real world machines. I started with Lego again following an accident at work that left me a damaged shoulder and back. To make up for not being able to ride my bike, my wonderful wife purchased the Lego set 42007 for me to build. This was a strange motocrosser style with a transverse v-Twin engine, in a similar vein to the old Honda CX500. The exhaust and the drive chain were on the same side and the tyres were a pair of cute knobbly things that were the same size, front and rear. I built this model up and was entertained for a couple of hours, until I took it all apart again and built the B-model variant, a strange moto-speedway bike that did have the right sort of engine.

The Lego bug bit hard and I quickly found myself on line, buying up sets 8291 – the green motocrosser and 9392 – the quad bike. All of these machines were roughly the same scale and came with the usual Lego strangeness, such as odd engine choices or funny axles. The green motocrosser came with a flat twin engine, reminiscent of the BMW boxer twin (or Dnepr or Ural engines from the former Soviet Union for you motorcycle nerds), which seemed somewhat out of place on a what was supposed to be a small lightweight crosser. As you can imagine, my being a motorcycle nerd had no impact on my Lego whatsoever and I quickly set about building the bikes with single or parallel twin engines to make them look more authentic, somewhat like the KTM that I imagine the new of those sets was meant to look like.

The more I delved in to the world of Lego motorcycles, the more intrigued I became, right up until I found set number 8051 (of which I have currently found an unopened box set on Amazon, for £405! Fuck me...), entitled simply 'motorcycle'. Now I can well imagine that the designer of this set might have got themselves into a little bit of trouble because if you look closely at this machine, you can see that it is pretty much a modern Triumph Street triple. Maybe Lego and Triumph worked together to produce the set, but if that was the case, the box would be branded with the Triumph mark and as far as I can tell, this is not the case.

The bike is very pretty and probably one of, if not the best looking motorcycle that Lego has ever released, including the Creator Harley set that was just a Lego model of the usual Harley Pig Iron clunker from a hundred years ago! (Yes, that was a mean dig at Harley, one of the most well known brands of motorcycle in the world.) Mind you, the 8051 B-model is a clone of a Harley and it actually looks quite good, if you ignore the double crank shaft needed to make the 70 degree v-twin engine work right. Once built up, the Street triple A-model looks mean, with the bug eye lights poking out from under the front fairing. The clever use of angled lift arms gives the engine to look of the original and by using long con-rods, the engine is suitably tall and works very well. There is no gear box, but the drive chain does run inside the swingarm and the suspension works very well. In all, this is one hell of a display piece and with the casual changes of a couple of bits, you have the factory Streetfighter look of the original bike.

There were a couple of other Lego motorcycles that came after all of these and they were pretty ordinary. A blue coloured one had an engine layout that was remarkably similar in design to the fabled Honda VFR and the fairing that Lego built around it looked like it had come from a track bike, it did look cool, but there was something not quite right. It was easy to build and it looked OK when done, but it did not come close to the Street triple in terms of realism or design. Things got strange when Lego released a special 40th anniversary of Technic, BMW R 1200 GS Adventure model.

This model came in black and blue and generally had the shapes and designs that called back to the original bike and the front suspension was absolute genius, utilising a pair of headstock mounted swing arms to make the front end look like the telelever of the BMW bike. The engine however looked pants, with the narrow Lego flat twin made to look like the colossal BMW unit by building it outwards with a couple of special pieces. The singled sided gear driven swingarm was remarkably rigid and transferred motive power to the little piston engine beautifully, but suspension had to be limited, maybe to stop the universal joint used on the swing arm pivot from bending beyond a usable angle. The pannier boxes looked great and the asymmetrical light clusters was fairly authentic. The big knobbly tyres from the 42007 motocrosser fitted perfectly into this model and the whole bike was only a little larger than the Street Triple, well within the scale of the bikes themselves. Parked together, these bikes looked amazing, but the original 8051 was still the prettier bike.

The quad bike has been a staple of Lego Technic for several years now and it too has had various iterations over the years. I purchased the 2013version, but the previous model had a couple of specialist pieces that would have made the model less versatile. My 9392 version came with independent front suspension and a chain driven, solid rear axle mounted on a swinging arm. It was a lovely little model, but it just looked incomplete, having no rear lights or exhaust for the little single thumper. The obvious solution is as always to take these base models and just improve them, but after a while it starts to become a case of asking the question of how much value does the set have? Given the price of the set at the time, it was a great little kit and it looked great on my display shelf... Until the bug bit hard and I dismantled ever set I had and turned them into the many and various MOCs that I still play with to this day as a nearly fifty year old woman with creaky joints and fading eyesight!

Recently Lego released a new Quad-a-like set, 42139 All-Terrain Vehicle. This is a six wheeled forestry vehicle and proves yet again that Lego hate trees when the cargo deck comes complete with a chainsaw and some chopped up logs.

They are not being subtle about these things. Over the years, Technic sets have included multi-wheeled logging machines, log loaders, log haulers and now now this little horror of tree murdering splendour. The colours chosen for this model are a rather bland orange, white and black, but again with a little fiddling around in the parts box, you can bash together the kit with far prettier parts. For my version I used lime green, dark green, red and black, just try and make the thing look more fun. The suspension on the bike is fairly ordinary, being a rocking beam that allows the wheels to move up and down, but does not actually provide any shock absorption. The cargo bed is hand activated and the little front winch has a clever ratchet mechanism on it to make it unwind easily, but strong enough to pull a heavy load. The model is very dense in structure and even comes complete with a beautiful and clever little gear box, changing the speed of the flat twin piston engine as it moves along the carpet. There is not a lot to dislike with this model, but at the end of the build phase, I was still left with the slightly unfinished looking parts that was only remedied by dipping into my parts bin. Also, the wheels that this set came with a lovely, but to my mind they just do not work on this model. It needed big balloon tyres and I had just the set in mind, those from set number 8446 – Crane Truck. This was a strange Sci-fi looking six wheeled truck that had a crane on the back and four steering front wheels. The wheels from this model looked perfect on the All-Terrain Vehicle from the tree murdering division of Lego.

So why am I talking about all of this nonsense? Recently Lego unveiled a Technic motorcycle set that is by all reports astounding, the price alone is enough to put off all but the most ardent of Lego fans. The new Lego set is a model of the beautiful looking BMW M1000RR, itself an incredible bike, being a one litre sports bike of immense lineage. The power and speed figures are frightening to the average road rider, but a track speed of around two hundred miles per hour is promised, while producing one hundred and fifty six KW of power (212BHP for us old farts). I can well imagine that with my sort of bumbling throttle hand, this bike would snap my head off of my neck. But I am not talking about the real thing, I am talking about the Lego version and to be fair it is a pretty model, but for me, it is going to stay just that. I think the chances of me splashing out nearly £200 for a Lego motorbike (when I have a real motorbike in the garage that could easily drink £200 worth of fuel in a day with current prices!), are pretty slim. I am sure that the engine and gear box it comes with are excellent. I am sure that the specialist wheels it comes with and the cool looking tyres are very good. But they are bigger than the ones I have on my Lego models and frankly, after the disappointment of the Lego version of the beautiful Ducati Panigale V4R, I am not sure that I want to be burned like that again.

The Ducati was a lovely bike to dream of in my early biking life. The 916 was a vision of Italian beauty in two wheeled form, especially in the deep red that Ducati are famous for. Films like the Matrix which also happened to use these bikes no doubt helped the bike achieve this legendary status and loads of Streetfighter builders in the late 90s early 00s would source copies of the 916 tail piece for their own creations because it was so glorious. So when Lego announced that they were going to release a branded Ducati set, I was very excited. When the set came out, it was just over fifty pounds and I spent the money, knowing that this was an awful lot for a Lego motorcycle. When the set came, the box was very pretty, the photos of the real motorcycle on the back of the box were beautiful and despite jokes about Italian engineering that seem prevalent in the motoring world, Ducati really do know how to bolt a bike together in a way that just exudes a feral beauty. The Lego set came with a two speed gear box, working from a gear lever in the correct place. The engine was a small V4, located beneath the hump that should be a fuel tank and the wheels came with a wide rear tyre and disk rotors. However the screen on the front was abysmal and supplied paddock stand was so badly designed that the rear wheel does not fit into it. Once the wheel has been squeezed in, the bike promptly falls over. The front forks are an inverted design with gold uppers and grey lowers. There are no external springs visible and they feel firm enough to make the bike a bit more fun. But, as you can no doubt feel, there is a big but coming here. The whole front end of the bike looks unfinished and awful. There are no brake callipers, no front guard, no hand controls and the bar ends look uglier than a hill-billy cross-bred goat! The disappointment I felt as time went on resulted in the bike being stripped down and the parts being put into my general Lego sets. Fifty quid poorer and a little disappointed, I went back to building trucks.

However, as is always the way with these things, a little thought and reflection leads to minor modifications and improvements. There is little if anything I can do about the lack of front guard on the Panigale V4R and I have no idea how I can attach front brake callipers. The front screen is beyond ugly and I have tried several different ways of trying to improve it, but nothing comes close to my mind. So that leaves me with the handle bar and here I was able to add tiny switch gear, grips and even tiny silver bar weights. The result is that the bike still looks unfinished, but at least the handlebar is prettier. The addition of six tiny pieces was all it took to make the improvements to the bar. Sadly, I don't think that we will see another Ducati in the Technic range again and this is probably for the best. Some things are just too beautiful to build in Lego and that includes the Ducati and before you even think of suggesting it, my precious Suzuki.
