After diesel gate, we have 100 times more tin boxes than 2 wheels pushing out high levels of air pollution that are killing more people off early through lung /chest related malfunctions- The UK is going to ban cars running on normal aspirated engines by 2040, so, bikes next?
There was a young guy around here trying to sell a late model 750 Duke for about $8000, the other day - could not get a taker. Unfortunately he died of a heart attack, so it is of no consequence to him anyway. A bevel Ducati always brings good money.
Don't mess with 2001 A Space Odyssey it can't be made better!All we need is a slam-bang remake of 2001-A Space Odyssey with plenty of CGI to hammer home the point about not giving up control.

Think about it, a "better" remake of a movie about computers taking over by using computers to make it better. Oh the irony!
No computers were used making it, oh hell the engineering school I went to shortly after it was made had 1 computer in the whole school! As far as I am concerned cgi is just a glorified cartoon. As a matter coincidence this past week was the 50th anniversary of the release of 2001.
As for old Ducs the biggest motorcycle mistake I ever made was selling a round case 750GT shortly before the prices went through the roof.
Sometimes the messages in old films are lost on younger viewers because they can't relate and then they dismiss or marginalize important works. We have been watching a Netflix remake of Lost in Space and other than character names and premise, nothing is the same. Penny Robinson is an adopted black doctor. Dr. Smith is female also. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were estranged before the flight takes place. The whole thing has soap-opera overtones about the family relationships. Of course the CGI blows the old sets with the wooden spaceships and paper plants right out of the water.Don't mess with 2001 A Space Odyssey it can't be made better!

The old movie was actually believable
Especially the English-speaking aliens and the breathable atmosphere on an previously uncharted planet.
The Netflix series is the third go-round for Lost in Space. First a network TV series, second a trashy Hollywood remake with lots of explosions and cleavage.
It was really great the way they got the burn mark to appear right around the wall of a laboratory, with the laser beam coming from the robot. Might have been done with a line of pyrotechnic compound.
