yup... does this displease you 

Yes, but I'm trying to be woke.

Does the rear of that XT identify as an R6?

Bloody hot here. It only bothers me emotionally, as I'm not used to not seeing in the garage, that my bike is 300km away as I wouldn't want to go on a ride around here today. I hate the sort of weekend traffic we get here up north, plus as the first proper warm weekend all the bikes are out and in a frenzy.

Will go out to lunch with little brother and a friend, do a little bit of work now before that, then it'll be a lazy weekend. 

Also, BOTM submission!

I knew it would be a Triumph triple! Knew it wasn’t the Transalp because you’re still English and away from home, but thought you were chicken and went for the little engine, glad you didn’t!

What’s with it having to be be good for a pillion, though, getting rid of the wife’s bike?

It was a good song, even before a certain ex-royal had her "accident"!

See? You’re taking the brit approach to it. Great song, but the film isn’t about Lady Di.

You laughing at the last sentence, aren’t you Pete?

As you say, tuck in! Northern Portuguese cut of beef.

Chorizo entree:

Another flip and it was perfect, but Costa was in a frenzy while it was being sliced, all hell broke loose. Luckily we kept our cool and a good meal was had, except my dad almost chocking to death on an apple slice. Fucking apples!

Half drunk now, but half sober.

Yes, it was a good movie. And, yes, great songs! I was surprised that Candle In The Wind wasn't in the soundtrack. 

That’s just because you’re a brit. 

Busy day, work meetings but very close to home, two hours of that was friendly talk. Amongst that was a vidit to the mechanics to check on Sofia’s Passat, then late afternoon a stop by a shop to buy a new helmet. Then home to have a great dinner with my brother and parents. 
 

overall, except for the heat it was a good day. Didn’t have to speak Spanish except in one single conversation.

Just watched Rocket Man on Netflix. 

 

Good movie, sad stuff but with great songs.

All it needs is some anodized blue levers and shiny bar ends, oh, wait, it’s ready to roll! 

You see a few guys in full leathers here, usually the 300kmh motorway racers are either in full leathers or jeans with the knees cut out

Nice GSX1400!

You never see muscle bikes in this country.

You used to, in big cities.

Maybe someone should monitor Pete's obvious closet Exhibitionism? 

Closet? We wish!

It could be easier or it could send him skyward if he yanks the throttle too hard ..................

 

It would be the lack of engine breaking that would make hesitate in getting one over a 4 stroke. On today’s bike you can get the engine to be as tame as you want.

I see someone reminded to take an horizontal picture
