Maybe something camber-related might help. I always wear through the right side of my front tyre quicker than the left.
But then you'd need to have that reversed when you visit the continent.

Hah, MidJourney or another one?

I've been trying to get MidJourney to give me a picture of a bike with an asym tyre half arsedly all day... and failed.

I did however come up with these:

It can't do letters, you'll notice.


And it sometimes gets its own ideas about headlights.


The inner working of a cat.


Golf! Although I asked for Gordon the Gofer here.


Amusingly this was my first ask for a GS (I did also put stuff in about a gingerbread world)

And this is my new wife on the beach in New Zealand with my new bike. Totally real.



And I bumped into Richard on a Laverda:

Ok last one I promise. After seeing Richard on his lovely green bike I went into Nandos. After I came out I saw him again on whatever the hell this is:



On a related note, this is going to be a hell of a tool for creative fiction writing! :D I might start throwing in descriptions of stuff from The Culture series and see what it thinks the GSVs look like.

I think it's struggling with the Laverda. Laverda engines are far prettier. The oil cooler is kind of close.
But the exhaust? Tch.
That does look pretty close to a modern retro Yam though.

The real thing (not mine though - boo hoo):

Asymmetric tyres are specifically designed for use in both wet, side 1 and dry, side 2. Simples!
