A rattle of Ducatis

A parade of Hondas

A recall of BMWs, inspired by @yen_powell

Again, this was 2 years ago, but thanks! The Pirellis are long gone, they did great in the rain but I didn't like how they made the bike feel entering a corner. Just normal road speed from going straight to tipping in the front felt like it was kind of slipping. Then they felt normal once cornering. I think they had different profile than what I am used to, but they lasted very well, and people seem to really like them for the road.

I hate the energy that builds up when a group that isn’t used to each other goes somewhere together. Never did it on bikes but have in cars and it tends to always go too far. The Africa Twin is looking sweet!

You uploaded them twice, have to delete them from the attachment files below.

Looking like when Hannibal was hiding in Italy, Bob. In a good way, he's a stylish dude!

Sandals is a very geographic nomenclature, in Portuguese sandals or “sandalias” for anything that’s not an enclosed shoe and hold on via straps, like what Michelle wears down to flip flops. A single wide band accross the center of the foot and suddenly it’s a slipper, or a “chinelo”, same name as a bedroom slipper. Crocs are crocs, or “socos” (pronounced sock-oos)if you’re oldscool as that’s what we call those old dutch wooden soled clunkers that inspired crocs.

No, you don’t wear socks with sandals outside. That’s a German thing, or a thing belonging to someone who just doesn’t care. Latest fashion with tourists is white socks with “pool” slippers, like those oldfashioned adidas people used to wear in proper sporting swimming pool to take a shower in, in the 80s and 90s. That’s as low as you can go, but anyways just don’t wear socks with any sort of exposed toes footwear outside.

Hey! He killed three purses to make that jacket!

And for the first time ever, I'm interested in a boxing fight result

I love my quad lock, have had it for a while now and the convenience of clipping on and off easily is great. The cases are also well made, not being a lot bigger than a silicone one if you were to fit one, and made of a smooth plastic that doesn't grip onto your pocket so it slides in and out easily. I started using it to just see who was calling me, then went on to looking at navigation and not having to fish the phone out of my pocket for taking a picture, and now I have it there most of the time when on the bike on a weekday. If on proper warm weather the phone will overheat but that's just how it is. I've had it for two phones now and will probably continue into the next ones.

It’s a plant by now

That’s from two years ago

This part of the Serra da Estrela has been on fire since Sunday, it's really sad as the winds have been making it extra hard to control. Another nature reserve gone in smoke.

my favourite current comedian has me in stitches over it

They do, but I meant about legalizing it in Europe, even the XR range was first released there as a non road legal variant.

250 air cooled injection engine, though, Bob. If they get it past emissions and legal it’s a nice low power last forever bike.

Happy birthday Clive! Have a good one

The RandMan is here!

I think they were built as the bones "became available", but I'll visit next time I'm there and inform myself.

I've spent a good half an hour looking inside this one in Evora, it's not as well lit as these pictures below indicate, which makes it gloomier.

Not local to me, no, but I’ve been in a couple of those, I think they’re more common in the Alentejo. It takes quite a lot for me to go and look at the inside of a chapel

You’re really touchy about your burger bread

I meant streams of texts at 4am, posessive behaviour, asking if you want kids after 5 minutes, crying when you say hello to the girl at the supermarket cashier, mad, are crazy eyes a good thing in the uk?
