Yesterday marked 5 years since the worst day of my life. Day went ok, considering, but I slept very poorly. Today got out of bed feeling hungover from lack of sleep, and went out for a ride and to meet a friend at the cafe for a burger and a chat. Weather was cold and only had a few rain drops, I enjoyed the little rideout and it did me good to get fresh air, food was nice and simple. It was also very entertaining to see a group of GS and other big trail bikes have serious difficulty in just riding out of a parking place, and then seing the NC group have similar difficulties riding into it, what is with groups that make people ride like shit? The NC people were having red wine with their sandwiches so I might have a clue why My friend commented that the GSs were riding waving cars passing the other way to slow down Coming back home stopped by the local supermarket where my load of bread was waiting for me hanging from the now closed door, didn't even have to get down from the bike to get it, class!

I wonder if by charging 1 pound to be near the event they could maybe make it a waiver against insurance claims.

They could have gotten in trouble with Apple if they named it an I-Strom

I like how instead of the KTM being accused of being shit for having a Chinese engine (which it is, shit), the chinese manufacturer claims they’re not shit because they make KTM engines.

I have only got one man for wood, same guy for years. Who do you think I am? How rude!

You’re addicted to raw power now!

The 300 isn’t either, wouldn’t it take you 5 minutes to get used to the extra 0,02hp and think it’s basically the same bike?

Success with the neighbours, had a nice piece of bbq beef instead of chicken! Plus some great red wine, the better half brought by me because I ‘m a great guest.

I wish! I had to pay for it

That looks like hard enough sand to ride a motorcycle on like it's concrete.

Chicken roasted on coal, opened on the grill, with a little bit of mozambican hot sauce. Very simple and non pretentious and very much african / portuguese.

It does look proper black. I'll have dinner with my neighbors in a bit. Nothing fancy, probably roasted chicken, similar to what I think Nandos makes in the UK. Might have a glass of wine too, maybe two.

Portobello mushrooms spaghetti.

Yes, do the math! Screw them!

Sorry, I have to do it. It's voilà!

paid him with money

Went to buy flour, really very windy and cold up there.

A guy just came by to bring me a load of wood

Cool bike, shame about the lack of VTwin though.

Either the Goldwing 4 cylinder or the CB750 for me.

It´s 172cm. I think taller than you and you would find it too small/short.

How tall and heavy are you Saul? I sat on my mate’s bike and found it tiny and low. Compared to my bike that is no surprise though.

He’s very pleased with it.
