    Personally I dont think luck has to do with it. Besides what "luck" supposes to mean on a break? Nothing at all. Luck has nothing to do with our motorbikes anyway... they are machinery precisely made in big factories... no luck at all but plans, plans, plans and hard work

    That's statistics, not luck.... BMW only produce a finite amount of units per year so by law of averages some poor sod will end up riding one.


    Luckily it isn't me

    that maybe the case but they still break down from time to time........so much for precision !!..........furthermore, those nice big factories in spain seem to have limited knowledge when it comes to things like paint finishes etc......ask any 700TA owner on here. no hard work being done there !!

    What you say is true, but again there is no luck in all these.
    Luck is having a different effect everysingle time you "drop the dices"

    Yet, our motorbikes will brake 99,9999999% (supposing we follow the respecive service schedule) we hit the brakes. Will 99,9999% accelerate everytime we accelerate... ecc.


    I believe ("luck"/probe = not really know what I am ecpecting to happen) concerns only the pionners of those machines p.e. the 1st man to discover airplane and fly was probing flight (having faith in luck to succeed ecc. And yes FAITH, cause in fact luck was an ancient Goddess of the pagans.). Right now flying is something out of luck/probe system. Is just sytematic. And if working systematically in services is done wrongly/not complet the plane will fall down. BUT not beacuse out of GOOD LUCK.

    In out vehichles "pionnering" means going in search of trouble in critical situations p.e. running too fast, running too much near to limits in street or better of road situations...

    Thats all for me.
    I wish everybody "good luck", eventhough I believe more in Divine Providence than it.
