Another post gave this idea, since we should have very different experiences regarding this. So, first ever time on a bike was around the parking lot of a hotel in Lisbon, my dad took me there on a dudes' weekend when I was around 8 or 9 to go see the F1 at the Estoril track, this was around 1988 to 1990. A friend of his took me around the parking lot on his Virago XV250 sitting up front, I loved it and still remember it. I hate that guy now, but that is besides the point. As a teenager, and this will maybe be a little weird to a lot of you ancient people, I then rode pillion with my foreign girlfriend at the time on her cousin's DTR125, borrowed on a stay here. She was a little older and rode a motorcycle at home. Around that time, first time to ever ride alone was on a friend's Gilera Typhoon 50, plastic panels rattled and came apart every time it went over a tiny bump on the road , looked a lot rattier than this: Took my motorcycle classes and exam on a TW225 And then bought my first bike a year after starting to work, at around 22 or 23, a Transalp 650

So, first of all, the UK strain is what infects 80% of portuguese positive cases today, brexit isn't working! On other news, they are at long last controlling the entries to the country on land borders. There are a few camper vans on the Spanish side of the border that are pretty disappointed with this, camper van free spirited covid denier twats have been spreading this shit around non stop ever since covid started. Dutch, UK, german, swedish plates don't seem to be on lockdown or stopped by the police until now, only the dumb portuguese I mean, how can a foreign plated caravan or camper with surfboards on top ever justify being on the road here when the police stops locals and ask them for going to work declarations?

It does work, but you can dry and salt meat and fish to preserve without the vinegar part, and once cooked, rehydrated or not, you get a lot of the original flavors. With the vinegar it turns into something very different, but it's normal for me to don't really get a scandinavian food.

What a beautiful shop!

I had to google what lutefisk is, I like codfish a lot, but so far have really disliked most scandinavian things I've eaten. That is some sort of pickled fish and it's not my thing, preserves from the north tend to be too vinegary for my taste.. I would try it, though, not trying new things makes one stupid.

Also, they have helicopters chasing speeders in Spain now

Allie is a sweetheart, Rich, stop for some flowers or wine or whatever. Apart from her taste in men she is a nice lady. Pete is a loudmouth welshman, he'll try to embarrass you first chance he gets. On and off the bike.

I don't even care anymore. As long as it's not raining terribly when Costa goes for his walk I don´t mind at all. Haven't left the house for more than one 10 minute walk in the last 3 days. I'm going slightly insane.

Those are the kind of moments that change things, @Mess. Sad to hear.

No, guys, don't rush. Maybe you should give the other place a chance. They're cool people!

The Honda CB500 sounds really nice when going for it. I like it!

See? I need that button!

Can you let them know I need to vent and can not find an emotion button to suit my needs? Thanks!

Never mind, then.

Yes, the big ones on the right of every post, I meant one that would be caustic instead of just positive vibes.

your own???

No, that's for when your pet dies or you become blind, proper sadness.

On tarmac riding, and MotoGP, Rossi did. I hear he has opened a weekly hour on his schedule for you to go and teach him riding technique.

So, @XTreme, I think the current emotion buttons aren´t enough to cover the latest crop of content. Like, Thanks, Cry, Confused and Haha simply don't cover it, we need a "Loser" button too. Maybe it could detract from the popularity count, for extra causticity?

I just love that smooth wide open dirt road, how can one resist not open it on somewhere like that? Where exactly is that, and do you have speed limits on dirtroads there?

It was a high five thing, bad mood!

Oh, exotic!

Call it Phillip from now on, then.

You don't buy it. You rent it. But still, got to have standards.
