Shouldn’t you do that with the engine closed? Or did you take the cylinders off?

He is a mixed breed, but definitely some Jack Russel in there, it’s quite obvious by looking at him but particularly when he gets scared or hurt and his response is to tear apart the next person’s neck and face

Tuna steak and spinach: Favas with chorizo: liver slices with onions: A tipical Ribatejo bifana, which is a pork sandwich Sofia’s delicious lamb croquetes Cabbage and chorizo rice, the best one I ever made because it was top season for cabbage during the coldest bit of the year.

An hour walk in the morning, takes two hours because we’re stopping to sniff and pee everywhere Today is a national holiday on top of being a saturday, so the village is going into full stupidity mode with all the Lisboners arriving and foreign girls parading everywhere with coffee cups in hand. Me and Luke will shelter from that until tomorrow. I barely managed to keep my sanity with a brief stop by the market.

The weekend is here, seems good weather all around so what are you lot doing? I’m probably not riding, taking care of Luke, so we’ll probably have a walk early in the morning and one late afternoon if it doesn’t get too hot for him. Go on, you all tell @boboneleg and @Bucksterhow you’ll be out on your bikes!

I can’t help but think you’re going to a lot of effort to get a bike you might not enjoy at all, considering your two other bikes.

How long will you be without being able to use the bike?

taken this weekend visiting a friend in the Algarve

Better to be safe than sorry. You wouldn’t want it to reject European ones.

After a hard night, got up at around 10 and made it out by 11, 600 km later and i’m in Faro. One stop for lunch, one for fuel and one to warn of my eta. 28 to 30° all day.

You’re just saying that, it was perfectly clear

It’s now o’clock and we’re 2, past 5 bottles along with my brother who just arrived fro lituania and polishing up my bottle of red breast 12, i’m heading towards unable to do the mileage tomorrow, but check this space…

I called help. It was heartbreaking, his wife came back out of the supermarket minutes before the paramedics arrived.

What have you guys got planned for the weekend? Is it getting nice where you are? I'm near Porto in Portugal. Tomorrow, I hope I wake up not too late, get on the bike and ride to Faro to meet a friend for dinner. It'll be 1 hour something on the motorway then catch the smaller roads to get there, a little less than 600km. Then enjoy Faro on Sunday and come back North to meet Sofia near Lisbon on Monday. They're saying it's going to get warm, I hope it doesn't get too warm.

Just saw an old dude drop dead in front of me. Was walking back to my car which was parked on the underground of a shopping mall, an old gentleman sat down on a sofa and a second later dropped his cane and fell asleep forever. Quite an intense friday morning.

I do, haven’t ridden it in ages. It’s got a clogged carb as well, which I will have to sort before it moves. Does look nice as a garage decorative piece, though …

Free ones are faster!

Do you want a little more aggressive camshaft now? Or going to replace with stock?

Will you hear anything over the sound of the drill?

It's just lovely here, finally. I've been in the car visiting clients and on the phone, but I've got plans for the weekend.

When I used to take the train to go to school, every year the trains would stop two or three times because someone threw themselves onto the line. It’s a violent way to go too, that leaves a mess, so you must really be in despair instead of just wanting to find a quiet way out.

That was after I shook half of the Sahara off it

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
