Pedro

I’ll nominate @boboneleg, just because of the overall uplifting mood he seems to always be in when he does anything with the bike. As my runner up I would nominate @MooN, his posts have a literacy that stands out from the norm, and I appreciate the content he posts. @XTreme gets a mention from creating the place and keeping it going despite some severely discouraging weeks sometimes. He enjoys providing a place for a group of people to call their internet home and honestly that is pretty cool.

I’m with Bob, the silly man would win outright but I’d rather not give him another stage. @busabeast would be my first nomination for being a self proclaimed hero, an accomplished motorcycling promise, and chief bandwagon catcher, plus stalker of Pete and Ian. Having already been nominated, I will then nominate my second choice for spending all year being superior to everyone else while travelling back and forward and not posting a single decent ride report with pictures, @Slowlycatchymonkey I think @XTremeis campaigning strongly with the pictures of his dick covered with a tissue, but as he would enjoy the nomination that alone places him out of nomination. It has been a twat like behaviour rich year, so don’t let yourself be discouraged, there’s always 2024.

Amazing views, what is the traffic like there?

Looking forward to some ride reports from where you are!

Great to hear, is it on standard gearing?

That’s completely not what I pictured as a tin of roses and peanuts

Hillbilly Ray, Billybob… sounds like a bad country song

Nothing, got nothing planned. Just walked down to Sofia’s practice and having a good sit now. Don’t feel sick at all except a little rough on the throat and my feet and my legs hurt and feel tired.

You ate the roses? What’s a tin of roses and peanuts?

Bikes are so last century, not enough mental challenge

PSP's urban intervention teams, usually they ride in pairs to get to more violent urgent situations. You'll like their top case choice, though ...

Welcome!

That's reading a bit much into it. Just means the local Honda dealership is friendly with the city hall.

She doesn’t want to see that either!

Depends what sort of roads you’re going on, but since you know what they are it’s always easy to hop on a motorway and kill 100km of boring roads easily. maybe more enjoyable to take 500km off for the same days? Leave you in better fitness for dinners and drinks with said mates.

Germany is on my mind, but so is Italy, no plans though and work mixed with family health might mean I end up doing nothing during summer. I have been looking at the weather in Morocco now though, and I missed out on a nice trip, there’s a lesson.

I’ve had two shots, of a proper nazi brand, and gotten covid once (maybe twice) before, so it’s natural that I’m not as affected as the first time.

Pretty ok, considering. Seems like the fever is gone and what I have now is a headache from my sinus being put through the ringer. Sofia is now sick as well too, which was to be expected. She’s taking it better than me though, but tired. A LOT easier than the first time though.

Wasn't that your second or third choice of names for it anyway?

Second, or third, not sure if the second was indeed covid.

I’ve told her she’s the mother, so she’s making her spicy chicken soup and taking care of me.

Seems like I might indeed be pregnant. Home test is a little faint but it does feel like it.

I will tomorrow morning

Be aware, I coughed while browsing this thread earlier.
