By page 10, this thread’s title is clearly misleading A Honda CB500X would suit you well, Pete! Maybe a green one next?

Greyhound, with Tom Hanks in charge of a war ship during WW2, it’s good. Tetris, about the fight for the rights for Tetris, it blew me away what an adventure it was.

No we don’t The all blacks are gorgeous, when they’re shiny in showrooms, then you get them dusty …

That’s what has put me off gold wheels. I like them on old Hondas but on a GS’s cast wheels it just feels wrong.

Agreed, it’s a cool bike! Did you let him know that the Honda sticker on his helmet makes him look like a twat? Friends don’t let friends look like twats!

I don’t like the gold wheels or the paint, but that is a cool bike. Had never noticed the one sided swing arm.

The black is the skins which were face down into the coal, aren’t mandatory eating if you’re a delicate southern flower. If you’re a man and respect the ocean and where your food comes from you’ll find it’s the best part.

Magic happened. It’s coal roasted codfish, which when done get their bones pulled and into the pot with olive oil and garlic they go. Put the clay pot on the heat and leave to bubble away until it smells like magic, and serve with boiled potatoes and the optional raw onion slices. I love it, might be my favourite typical Portuguese thing. It’s hot, so having a nice glass of cold wine is mandatory. So delicious that even my dad who nowadays doesn’t like food much finished his plate.

Othing wrong with moss, it’s better than grass, doesn’t shelter ticks and doesn’t need cutting down. It’s nature! Put a couple of logs on the ground to feed bugs and a few bird houses on stakes, and it’s a natural garden on purpose.

Magic is happening as I post this

When I bought my Transalp, a long time ago. My dealership had some issues with some of the 125cc coming from Italy. Usually missing stickers, but this one time a bike wouldn’t start before the client came to pick it up. Engine was spinning like mad though. Bike simply came fully assembled but no piston and connecting rod

So it’s not the Boris Johnson, but a boris johnson.

That’s me!

The culprit of all these forum immigrants!

Boris Johnson?

making an effort to better myself

Yes, but I'm trying to be woke.

Does the rear of that XT identify as an R6?

Bloody hot here. It only bothers me emotionally, as I'm not used to not seeing in the garage, that my bike is 300km away as I wouldn't want to go on a ride around here today. I hate the sort of weekend traffic we get here up north, plus as the first proper warm weekend all the bikes are out and in a frenzy. Will go out to lunch with little brother and a friend, do a little bit of work now before that, then it'll be a lazy weekend.

Also, BOTM submission!

I knew it would be a Triumph triple! Knew it wasn’t the Transalp because you’re still English and away from home, but thought you were chicken and went for the little engine, glad you didn’t! What’s with it having to be be good for a pillion, though, getting rid of the wife’s bike?

See? You’re taking the brit approach to it. Great song, but the film isn’t about Lady Di.

You laughing at the last sentence, aren’t you Pete?

As you say, tuck in! Northern Portuguese cut of beef. Chorizo entree: Another flip and it was perfect, but Costa was in a frenzy while it was being sliced, all hell broke loose. Luckily we kept our cool and a good meal was had, except my dad almost chocking to death on an apple slice. Fucking apples! Half drunk now, but half sober.
