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.

Today was an E30 kind of afternoon.

My first time riding with my girlfriend and on our first trip on the R1150GS, heading to the Algarve for my birthday. First stop to take a picture overlooking the ocean, I confidently dig the front wheel on some softer sand, promptly dropping the bike. Not the best start

No politics

Was that done by a cover rubbing on it because of the wind?
