I do hope that is not the entire ride report. It is a milestone, but I would love to see more of it. Center of gravity also works when picking a bike up, not just while riding. I have never ridden a big Harley but do feel curious about it.

Oh man that looks good!

Weather is shit, I think I will be home through the weekend, keeping to myself.

So what are the plans for it, Bob?

That's some view!

Keeping the Triumph looking stylish, Chris. I was going to go for a ride myself today, but the sky decided to open into a rain storm while I was almost putting my boots on. For tomorrow...

Starting a drug running business?

No, just that the tensioner is pushed by a dead end oil channel, as since it's a dead end the oil at the end doesn't get freshened up with the running engine or oil changes.

Heinz beans, right off the tin, you basic

Nice boots...

His name is Skyrider, like he was born on the planet next to wherever Skywalker was born. Dude, quit being cryptic, it's not like Skyrider is cool so might as well go wit Lionel.

After a day's riding under a rain storm and not much else to eat but some hot soup at lunch and fruit. This evening's dinner... An entree of spicy gorgonzola, some olives and some amazing cherry tomatoes, I missed the flavor of tomatoes in this area. The wine is a local grown Syrah, very much my favourite bottle of red for the price. For mains, I had some oven cooked sweet potatoes and onions, lightly seasoned with turmeric and heavy on the paprika, and a small steak, bloody rare on the inside.

You wish

There's a link on the image that says "watch on youtube"

Harden the fuck up, I enjoyed it

I do like a nice schnitzel, though

Oh, I thought Earache had a french mother in law, somehow thought it was him Still dislike the puking thing

Why do you keep posting throwing up gifs on food threads, Pete, come on. Same old joke, man. I don't really like snails the way the portuguese cook them. In France they are ok but then again in Paris they are 90% butter and 10% snail. Might as well have some bread with butter. What herbs do you use there, @MooN?

I really don’t think 12 miles is very far at all for a bike shop

I hate carbs, and fuel injection, I just want stuff to work with no problems. Ride along the motorway perfectly, climb a mountain pass to 3000 meters with no hiccups, back down, tick over at traffic, I don't need a personal relationship with my fuel system. Every time I did carb stuff on the XR it took ages Having said that, last time I put the baffle back on and adjusted the air screw for it, it did feel rewarding. Don't want anymore, though. I do wish I was the kind of guy that confidently does that, but I don't think I am.

I have never had a pair of winter gloves I really like. But that's for another thread

At least tires will last a while, Pete.
