Yamaha's youtube channel often has fairly esoteric content, today's a highlight - they've collaborated with the Japanese Wool Felting Association to make a felt R1 caliper...
Good job they didn't show it real time. I've seen people do it and it's a sloooooow process. It would probably take a couple of days to do these...

If you haven't seen it yet...
Like Douglas Bader's story of being in terrible pain but knowing that sleep would make it better.
At which point there was a crash from the corridor outside his room and a nurse shouted "Be quiet - there's a boy dying in there!"
He stayed awake.
RH's book is very good.
Even bland can be a type of character

I wonder why the road took a dislike to that particular car.
