Doesn’t that cook your bike in the summer? Or condensate in the winter? Since you’re getting solar power for the battery tender I would get some electrical fans as forced ventilation.

Quite the effort, thank you!

I do have sort of a stalker, a mean unbalanced person who was related to my girlfriend. A stalker, who indeed bothers you or makes you feel sad, ruins a big part of your ability to be relaxed since you lose control of when you interact with them.

You already did, and pointed them at me also as a joke. I chose to consider it annoying and ignore you.

What I think I did was tell out how brits are perceived from abroad, and in a couple of times point out when I thought an individual was complying with that cartoonish generalisation. As a joke!

See? Nature is plain overly aggressive in that scenario! What are you supposed to to do?!

Regardless of opportunity, and Pete does provide opportunity, why would one want to “bum” him? More so in an abandoned building?

Doesn’t matter, a Clio can act like it’s a Williams and be all Motorsports, a chinese piece of cro can only pretend to be a toaster! There was a Dacia on the 24H Nurburgring this year, ran by some twats, but all the same they’re not acting the twat like they’re bigger than they are! That’s cool!

And whenever I speak of what everyone thinks of brits I get tarnished!

Congratulations, that’s just great!

Winter time, a sweetie and a fireplace, it’s rocking! Now nature gets in the way of the nookie? Not fair!

I like Dacia, they’re not pretending to be a Ferrari, nor are they chinese

I don’t know if it works or not, my bike has one of those now and I don’t care to see it

That doesn’t help …

Don’t know how come you’re not a YouTube millionaire by now Pete

That TT 650 bike, when choosing between being given one or a CBR600 / Yamaha R6, would you genuinely go for the chinese bike?

You’re right, what matters more now is design quality and lifestyle, maybe. Originality maybe? They’re going with cheap instead, instead of making something people will want to buy, they make copies of stuff people want, and then some of those people, the ones that convince themselves they really want cheap instead of desirable in order to buy something new. Yes you can, they can put whatever they want on their bikes. They have a reputation for being cheap too, which is sometimes not really the case if you compare specs, at least here in Portugal. For similar money you can buy a japanese bike with the same size engine, quite more power and torque, lighter, but that bike is not pretending to be a Ducati.

It’s ham, like the smoked cold kind you buy from the supermarket, not proper fried bacon. I don’t know how to refer to it in english. Thanks, though!

Being married is important, you wouldn’t wish on anyone you love to have to deal with your passing while having no obvious legal rights, or for every formal entity to instantly see them as unrelated to you.

Lunch today was a nice sandwich, croatian roasted peppers sauce, mozzarella, olive oil, thinly sliced tomato, couple slices of smoked ham, and a fried egg

I am fully aware I'm not in a position to preach regarding ones diet, but putting yourself in a situation where you're using reserves of oxygen when you're not consuming energy, might be a bad idea more so if you're under water.

I drove quite a few miles on a Mercedes Vito, it was FWD but I learned that modern vans are quite impressive to drive. When not heavily loaded they handle quite well, and are quite effective on all sorts of roads, and when empty they're quite agile too. I like vans ...

I have the XR400, but rarely ride it, it's not losing value or costing me, and I like it so I'm keeping it. I ride it once or twice a year, really. I am, however, entertaining the idea of getting another bike to share the load on the GS. Since I intend on keeping it forever, it sort of makes sense... The only reason I haven't gone test riding other bikes is that for now I can't see myself going for a proper ride and leaving the white bike behind.

Someone changed their mind and moved their vote out of my bike's previous 4.

What year is the bike, @Six30? Have you ever had a Ducati twin? I'm curious as to your opinions on it after a while.
