I searched for the thread where @XTremeasked what we’d be doing in 2024. Turns out I’ll be joining @Sofiaand our friend Barbara to a short trip to the North of Italy. They will be taking a ferry from Barcelona to Genoa and meeting me in Milan, while I’ll be riding from home through the south of France and over the Mediterranean Alps to Italy. I’m planning to take the short High Via del Sale road heading into Italy before heading to Milan, then a couple of nights there catching up with my friend Luca and showing the girls around, to then go to Moto Guzzi for a visit and over the “hills” to Lake Garda for a couple of days and another mountain pass when I get an afternoon by myself. Turning out to be an interesting trip on paper, if my business partners have the decency to keep to themselves in September. So this is the big trip in 2024, accompanying two women to Italy!

What the fuck is happening there?

I don’t know, Clive, you must be missing the mines by now.

You’re like @skyrider nowadays with your three word sentences. Post a ride report with 3 pictures to back it up.

You have a well? How do ypu have water without a meter?

Hey, at least you get uk jobs selling proper uk drugs.

It's really good at camouflaging!

Look at it another way, you haven't bought anything for it, just changed assembly status on stuff you already had in stock.

What's your dream van?

She lives 50 meters high next to the atlantic in a flat with shit portuguese 80s isolation and windows, and minimum sun exposure. It's a very humid house and was starting to get black mould all over. 4 days of dehumidifiers cleared the air and after a week the mould was gone. If you switch them off for 12 hours the humidity goes to a steady 92º in winter, and after a week the walls would be in the same state. Granted it's more rain there but that just means you have to be intensive and constant in taking humidity off.

Even worse, he might be thinking someone would pay 250k for him.

Sofia has two modern ones and there’s hardly any change in electrical consumption since they’ve been on, they did however eliminate all moisture.

You need another dehumidifier, Clive, working full time after a few days you'll get a nice dry house. It'll smell different once you start to get the moisture out of the walls.

Your bike's brand is weed?

Very clean chain, though!

Bear in mind that stock chains on most bikes are now of very poor quality compared to before or aftermarket brands. I like that you pump the thing before riding. Scottoiler is a smart thing but depends on the oil's fluidity to adjust flow. It´ll flow a lot more in summer if you don't adjust it. I learned that when fitting a scottoiler to my Transalp and stashing the reservoir nice and out of sight under the seat. As soon as it got up in temperature from the engine heat on a longer ride it emptied all of the oil in 10 minutes and flung it all over the back of the bike, the back of my jeans and jacket. Cool stuff!

It's a shame those fog pictures where you get the sun in the distance never show how pretty they look in real life.

There you go, you’ll have to fly to Atlanta to see your posts now.

That’s a part of my question, isn’t anyone almost 60 too old for a proper non exhibition boxing fight? A Mike Tyson headshot at 60?

Isn't that guy a little too old to properly fight?

Not at all.

How tall is that guy? Or is it really a tiny bike?

Do you think it’ll affect your motorcycling?

I don’t like the second option, I would say keep it running for the chaos but I’m not stating in any official way my posts are total shit
