Is that your sister ?

So hot, so many people and bands, far too much alcohol. 2 days to go.

What ever the weather it’s a massive bonus if you got a bike to ride .

I knew they'd have a field day.....but we desperately needed a thread Pedro! So I had to throw myself to the wolves! As for the GS.....it really rides well, I've got no complaints on that score. Plus the workshop doing the work is a recognised BMW independent so no worries there. And as you can see by the condition, this certainly doesn't seem like an abused bike. This is the moment I discovered the oil leak......you can see the drip underneath. (I know some twat will do a bad Photoshop number on it now).

Fuck these guys, Pete you're being made fun of by three guys that together own a KLR, a Harley, and a Ducati that sounds like a box of nuts every time it's started, his biggest mileage on two wheels is done on a Transit. Let them fix the GS, ride it around for a couple of months and then sell it on, and keep your eye out for another. These bikes are either the best most reliable thing ever or a pain in the ass, more so if the mechanic isn't specialized in them.

They saw your ginger ass coming.

Flares or a Austin 1100....not sure which is the worst.... But in all honesty, I stopped wearing flares on the bike, got them caught on the foot pegs at some traffic lights. And over I went..

Senile old cunt.

.......it's just a Mystery to me when I'll see it again! When do you reckon it'll come back?

It means it's fucked ................

he didn’t mean for you…

They won’t want that lemon back again costing them money…. doubt if your consumer rights are the same as here ….. ” sorry senor , it’s a wear and tear fault , now fuck off “

Should have got a Harley.

If it does come back it will continue giving you problems. Fuck it off and get another one, it's not fit for purpose,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Better than the donkey cock casserole he started with.

Who knows, if you love something set it free.

absolutely you are right again

Walking today with Paolo, looks like it’s going to piss down as well. More weather talk for you @Pedro

Could be.... Im adjusting again to the single life...have to say I kinda like it..do what I want when I want and ride my bike to my heart content...

Nobody ever was as angry on this forum as that guy that day.

I’ve been prematurely aged by herding 30 yr olds with teenage mindset’s and working with the chronically bewildered doesn’t help.?

I don't see many pics of the place on here! He's not bullshitting and actually gone to Clacton has he?

I don't know ... you brits are too weird: don't like garlic, eggs make you fart, vegetables make you fart, everything either makes you fart or stink Maybe you are just stinky and fart a lot because of genetics, stop blaming proper food

Only REAL Ducati's rattle ................

Mine doesn’t rattle it’s not got a dry clutch … consider yourself educated …

Very deceptive when you see the snow on the peaks!

Johnny finds a roll of chicken wire, so he heads out ... Neighbor asks: hey Johnny, where are you going with that chicken wire? Johnny says: Going to catch some chicken Neighbour says, laughing: Johnny, you can't catch chicken with chicken wire!!! But sure enough, Johnny comes home after a few hours with 5 chicken strapped to his belt. Next day, Johnny heads out holding on to a roll of duct tape. Neighbour, sitting outside, shouts at him: hey Johnny, where are you going with that duct tape? Johnny says: well, to catch some ducks. Neighbour says: that's just silly, you can't catch ducks using duct tape, it's not even spelled the same! But sure enough, he watches Johnny coming back after a few hours with 6 ducks strapped to his belt. Next day, Johnny heads out holding on to a bouquet of pussy willow. Neighbour, sitting outside, shouts at Johnny: hey Johnny, wait a moment, I'm coming along Saw this on instagram, had to look up what pussy willow is

If it’s on the internet it must be true.

It's a tricky one Bob......cos I really like the bike. More so than any other bike I've had since I sold Big Bird in 2006. There's still 11 months left on the warranty so whatever happens it's not going to cost me anything......just a matter of seeing how it goes over the next few months. But one thing's for certain......it'll be outed before the warranty expires.

You're being silly now, how would he escape the DBM's on one of those

Broccoli with almost caramelized garlic, and free range eggs from down the street, great eggs: My version of what you call a plowman's lunch Some great olives, good tomatoes and amazing olive oil, and a southern portuguese salad turns into something great Sofia's lamb ragu, frozen and gifted to me. I used it on some fusilli instead of the pie it was meant to Simple and old school rustic, onion and tuna pasta, extra creamy from the jumping I'm perfecting with my italian pan

Cooking blood chorizo rice, I decided to entertain myself and take pictures. The secret to this dish is the chorizo, my garden´s rosemary, and the rice, which is a wild rice mix with normal long grain. Tomatoes, one big onion, and some mint. a third of the chorizo is shopped in big chunks, to release a lot of flavour, the other part is just pierced softly so that it can let juices out and cook properly inside. In this , I put a good coffee mug's worth of rice, which is properly washed and left to dry before starting. At the same time I start to put 3 mugs worth of water on a small pan, to have hot water once the time comes to add it, adding cold water isn't nice. Some very good olive oil, and you start cooking the onion, chopped in not too fine bits, this is a rustic dish. Add the rosemary from the start, the smell is great. Once the onions soften up and about to start getting golden, add all the chopped tomato and a couple of smashed garlic cloves. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste and salt to get the tomato to let it's juice out and cook. Little later, once the tomato is releasing it's juice you add the chorizo and the mint leaves. Take the rosemary out, it's done it's thing and it's not worth it to have it fall apart. Let the chorizo cook a while, once the tomato juices are thickening and the chorizo looks like it's starting to cook, add the rice and give it a good scramble. All of it should be perfectly mixed with the tomato. Let it be for a minute, and add one to two mugs of water from the pan, it varies according to the amount of liquid you already have from the tomato. Close the pan and leave it at medium heat, you want it bubbling all over but not violently on a rolling boil. You also want the bigger chorizo piece in the middle, you want that properly cooked. I like giving it a mix a couple of times to make sure everything is evenly cooked and that the rice gets to swim around instead of being stuck together. A minute or so before the rice is done this is what it should look like, if it looks drier add more hot water, at this time I put another piece of rosemary on, because I love it. And the finished thing looks more or less like this. This is on it's watery version with the rice all dente, it's fine to leave it to cook more but I like the watery rice thing. If you close the lid and leave it a couple of minutes like that before serving the rice will start absorbing a lot of that water and become more like a risotto, to which his own. Tasted great

I’ll raise a glass for him tonight …

on the Pustertaler high road.

Im lucky, all i have to do is survive 8 months of chit arctic weather... for a few months i become a hot summer beach resort, kinda funny to watch over time.

We got a villa …. Don’t want to mix with gammons all day clive

Just the duo. Internet is a bit shit tonight. Had a bit of a day off from riding. Late ish one yesterday, took longer than expected getting back from Slovenia, which was going to take ages anyway but they shut the pass back home. Didn't make it home afore dark. Over a hundred miles home, already 8pm and the only straight bit was £1.20 worth of auto strada. Rain. Fog. Deer. Millions of speed cameras. Spam and butter fried stale bread for a 1am picnic. I must've kicked a deer, as I was doing a prolonged doctor's dangle to stretch the leg and all of a sudden a shadow ran across the road with a thud to the boot. Wasn't the last one we saw. Petrol was very cheap in Slovenia though, 50p cheaper. You can't see very well either after going through a lit tunnel at reasonable speed but full of mist, then being plunged into the darkness. Visor fully fogged. Glasses fully fogged. Grappa has been purchased, with limoncello chaser. Oh dear.

You look fucking older than me!

Me right now ….. and I’ll save @Buckster the effort .,…. GAY
