I might catch a cold just looking at that cold wet weather.

Just the bike for me, just a few days ago I was thinking I was feeling the need for a little more downforce on the GS

I don't have a big aquarium, you can still take a shit in any of the outhouses you visit anytime you get on the bike.

You and Barry Sheene

You miss shitting on an outhouse in the freezing cold with freezing rain and hail on the outside, I miss a big aquarium with lots of tiny fish

Suzuki has a special place on their museum for the both of you.

I wouldn't, I don't like sweetwater fish

Aquarium, a big aquarium.

My issue is with the amount of bags, the bags themselves being almost as big of a problem as the trash.

Now that's a pretty racecar!

So everyone on that field gets their own plastic trash bag instead of a few bins between the lot? The lefty side of me, that I didn't know existed, has just revealed itself!

BOTM

That's class!

I'm on the other side of that, I think it's me that has gotten fed up with putting a polite face to deal with the same shit as before. You go through a life changing experience, and suddenly you don't put up with the same amount of crap as you did before.

over there?

You seem to be enjoying your newly found weekend freedom! That’s a pretty building on the dam, here those things are built with little concern for aesthetics, nice forest road too!

You’re aware there’s a minimum speed on mainland Europe’s motorways, @Slowlycatchymonkey, and that there are uphills on some of them…

Not smelling badly, not totally derelict, maybe a cafe on one of the stops, a place where people stop and think: “this is nice” or “this is nice, I might come back” instead of “this smells like sewage, oh look, a decomposing dog!”

You never stop anywhere nice, do you?

I find red haired women sexy! Are they ginger? It won't change my fancy, but just wondering ... Also, although my hair was always dark brown, my beard is slightly red depending on sunlight and season

Is ginger just that weird carrot color, or all red haired people?

Yes. There's grapes in wine, too!

I have hope for Honda, they did ok with the Africa Twin, plus there’s no shortage of brands showing them what a good idea it is, Yamaha with the T7, Aprilia with the Tuareg, Ducati with the whatsitsname, all after BMW’s 800, 750, 850 name mess, so they might just pick up on it. There’s nothing like a nice Honda, though. Even Suzuki is like a coma guy twitching a finger with their naughty VStrom talk
