I meant dudes going because it’s full of women, not because they like what women like.

If it starts to become known that it’s a woman thing it’ll soon be full of new Abba male fans

Everything can break.

A friend called me because his wife's car broke down, she managed to exit the motorway but 300km away from home (near me) and asked if I was at my place. Car was dead, phone was dying, she's panicking, heat wave, etc, so I got on the GS in a hurry and flew there with a power bank and an extra helmet. Didn't take the E30 because worse than heat stroke is being stuck in 44º behind trucks and no AC. The plan was to get her to some shade with a bottle of water and fix the recovery calmly. If it took very long I had an extra helmet to get her on the GS and take her to a restaurant very close by to sort out the trailer in comfort. When I got there her phone was dead, and turns out she had a 3 year old child with her. Water and shade was enough, and 30 minutes later they had a taxi and a tow truck, even though the boy wanted to go on the bike instead The car? A 2 year old Toyota that started to fail on the motorway like it was running out of fuel except it wasn't, and then wouldn't even turn on electric power to charge the phone, completely dead.

Went out in the old bmw car today, to have a coffee and a chat with a friend by the cool riverside. I went on the car as it's too hot to bother taking the bike, I´m just a casual as there were plenty of people suffering on bikes. Someone forgot the heating turned on outside and it's gone over 40ºC, so I spent the rest of the day enjoying a very quiet countryside from inside the house. It was not windy earlier and I've never been anywhere so quiet during the daytime, not even in Morocco.

Now 22°C outside, still nice to be out with a cold glass of wine. One wonders what will happen tomorrow.

Appart from having no neighbours to have a fish bbq tomorrow, I have just agreed to go have coffee with a recently motoryclist friend at 9am tomorrow, on a heatwave, with no fish bbq to fall back on afterwards. I could take the old BMW car but that has as much air conditioning as my bike. I’m sat outside going into the second bottle of wine too, this doesn’t help things for tomorrow! What can one do except emphasize even potential events?

He does carry a big stick

There might be some electronic wizardry going on … along with the hours spent on soft offroad terrain. His Volvo is looking a lot like my GS right now The main point is that there’s no neighbour to bbq a couple of seabass with

You might have a point, that dude was having serious trouble starting to move from the stoplight. I figured wasted clutch from all the work on soft dirt.

No, it’s shared by road trucks and tractors to tow across the fields. Just spoke to my neighbour who is not available for making a fish bbq tomorrow as he’s working 7 days per week 12 hours a day on these. He drove his truck home which is a cool Volvo. They carry 35 tons of tomato load, minimum! Which tells me they actually carry 40 tons of tomato. Apparently the trucks are homologated to 58 tons full vehicle weight and they fit in a Portuguese grey area in which nobody bothers much with capacity as long as it’s within vehicle homologation. I guess it’s something to do with farming lobbying. They can not go into Spain like that, though, and it seems to me it’s a little bit of don’t ask / don’t tell kind of thing.

Sitting outside having a very rarely enjoyed rosé, this is right now. Next warning will be apocalypse!

Might be here too

Went for a drive to air out and roll the old bmw while it was not too hot. Tomato picking season is now, hundred of trucks racing back and forth mostly on farm access roads. It's smart stuff, the trailer gets dragged through the fields by farming tractors while picking machines fill it up, then taken to tomato sauce factories using the same trailer but now pulled by trucks. It's a longer than usual trailer, and I guess tomato is a pretty dense product with all that water, how much do you this this is illegal by? My neighbor drives these during tomato season, it's good money but hard work in dusty fields in 40º heat. If he's home tomorrow I'll how much they carry

Maybe it's worth considering changing the car instead of the perfectly functioning Honda, then.

Is it an option to lend the car for the mechanic to use for a few days doing his daily thing and hope it happens with him?

And that is how they stay in business and don’t bother with complicated stuff via email and messages.

Can a bike be 110% perfect for one's needs?

It’s almost as if they’re tired of a certain brit pestering about crf300 …
