I don't get why scooters aren't all this sized wheels, must make them much better, no?

Oh dude! Dude, join a church or something!

Onwards!

Food doesn't grow on trees? Come on, is that really a real person's quote?

It has got the vibe and colors of something that has been used for other entertainment purposes indeed

I thought you had chopped it down, hence my comment.

After a very wet foggy morning by midday the weather cleared and it turned into a lovely warm afternoon, so proceeded to give the bike a wash and then a short ride around to dry it up properly. Listening to ZZ Top on my helmet wearing a t-shirt it felt really nice. I swear BMW must have brought out an old engineer from their Nazi torture days when contemplating torturing owners of this bike who wash it. I really HATE washing it, but can't stand to leave it dirty either. Looks nice from a distance

Those fog lights make it look like your own smilie

I had a palm tree like that, it got eaten by Egyptian palm tree beatles, so it fell apart and I disposed of it. Now, there were hundred of palm tress starting to grow, like weeds, it was a bugger to pull them all out as they hold on way harder than normal plants. Since you cut yours down and it was innocent, lets hope that in a year there's not 50 more

Oh kermit

If you ride 10km on a Vespa, does that convert to riding a normal motorcycle all the way to France for a bottle of wine?

Mine was grown 10km away from where I am drinking it!

And now a nice end of day snack before night comes and I go inside to make dinner

It's only been sort of raining up north for a couple of days, we're still in a draught state. Right now I could do it here as it's nice, but just had a nice shower and there's no way I'm doing it now more so after a long ride when it's still hot in places.

I don't even know, Pete, not today for sure. That bike is a mess and I'm not really good at cleaning it, it's more of a general wash I'm afraid Once the weather gets nice for drying it properly, yes, tomorrow or Monday

It is, and a Renault Megane station next to it too!

Rode home today, from my parents place up north. I had sort of planned to go on a long 4 or 5 day long ride, but the weather was shit as of yesterday, drove an hour each way yesterday to visit a client and this was the scenery: Lots of accidents on a very rainy motorway which tells me Portuguese people forget how to drive at the first rain, second and third day is not so bad which means all the worse ones crash right away. Didn't fancy touring around in rainy small roads, and also was in quite a shitty mood so just came home for a few days. Took the coastal road which is a lot less interesting than the hills, but I didn't feel like 5 hours of rain and cold. At first, it seemed like nice enough weather but only a few kms into it the fog started and then the rain, my jacket needs to be treated for water repellence, which made me curse Dainese, didn't get wet as the rain was not prolonged though, but also didn't feel like making many photo stops so no ride report. Only one stop for a coffee near a very moody beach: They call this the "Atlantic Road", it's a very epic name for a shitty road, Australia coast of California this is not Stopped for lunch in a little spot that seemed promising but as I was getting set up it started to rain and three cars full of spaniards arrived, next week being Easter they all go on to invade everything. I couldn't take the noisy lot and, eating outside being unappealing, just got back on the bike and rode home closer to home for a nice snack by the river A TDM came and parked next to the GS Got back on the bike before it started to rain again, bought groceries on the way and made it home with a filthy bike, for another expresso as I write this

Appart from fat Hulk Hogan, I didn’t get what all that was about

Nice one Bob, glad to see you riding around.

He should have been surprised to being so far ahead
