Seems like you’re having fun!

It is a Triumph owners club afterall! I’m just the president’s boyfriend Someone must represent the Berliners who as a harmless minority never ever hurt anyone

Supposedly your technique improves more if you keep it stock in height and length. Don’t you feel curious about how far you can take it with no mods?

It's almost the weekend, what are you up for? Tomorrow I'll be joining Sofia's motorcycle club for lunch in Gois, which is about 2 hours away if I take the motorway, I plan on leaving early and maybe take in a mountain road and make it longer. We'll meet at Gois MC clubhouse, have lunch somewhere nearby and then a short ride around the area, and then head back home. It's going to be a long day and I'm not much for group rides so I'm enjoying the idea of being by myself to get there and back. I'd like to not take luggage and be all rugged adventurer style, temperatures today are quite warm but supposed to drop by 10º or more tomorrow so I don't know what to wear

Haven't taken a picture for BOTM in months as I've hardly ridden it. Here it is today sort of clean and on an urban setting.

And what's funny is that you're not even talking about politics. The great unhinged is going to see his temporary ban lifted tonight at 23:29. I suggest he takes it easier this time as the next ban is set to be for 4 weeks.

Just had ribs for dinner, turns out there’s a new bbq place near my mum’s place where I’m staying for a few days. Very brave, got to respect someone opening a bbq place in a church yard on Good Friday

My bike’s had a hard life, I am lucky to have Portugal’s most expert expert in BMWs as a friend, but it took some abuse over the years. I am seriously going to look for a stablemate to share the load so it doesn’t end worn out and so I don’t miss out on plans like I did twice already before.

Almost run out maybe

Miles, it’s on 142.000km

Not tempted in the slightest! It’s not that difficult when things go right, but I don’t spot issues the same way an expert does. 89.000 miles now.

That time of year again

It is quite cool, ineffective against rain and the train station smells like piss like you wouldn’t believe though. But looks cool. Also, there’s some sort of kpop concert or comic convention because all around the train station feels like you’re in an episode of pikachu or alternative lifestyle star wars

On the train today, from Lisbon

Sofia made pizza tonight, good times:

What are you all up to? I’m spending the weekend with Sofia, nothing really planned except for next week when i’m taking my bike to have a service and a clutch/gearbox/engine check.

What’s the mileage on the Harley now? Is that just preventive or do you hear something?

Has Shadow given up on it for good?

It’s 21:39 here

Very lazy weekend for me. Didn’t sleep well at all over the last few days, plus the E30 had a nice workout visiting clients in the rain. Yesterday went to bed at 1 and woke up at 10:00, feeling great and came to town for a little stroll around and a bifana for lunch. Afternoon will be spent doing very little, would love to have the GS tomorrow as it’s sunny but it’s 300km away and needs a service.

I think it's normal, now that there's not a nice coating of oil on the engine. Lots of vacuum tubes around, which I hate.

Thanks. It's had the rear suspension rebuilt with adjustment bushings, an e36 compact steering, and some basic bilsteins, looks nice underneath and feels tight now. Engine is very much down on power, though, still thinking what to do with that.

1986, it must have had a little touch up a few years ago. Not perfect but clean enough for me.
