Just for you Pete, I’ll make it 16:00

If it’s ok with all of you, I’ll close this tomorrow after lunch at 14:00 or 15:00.

Love that road, but you're welcome to adjust it if you want. As long as it's this month and horizontal I don't care what you do with it. I don't get how your bike doesn't get dusty on that, if it was mine on that dirt road it would look like it had just finished a Dakar stage

Rain storms here. Just home from dinner withe friends that I’ve known for years but are now living in Germany. won’t be on the bike on the weekend or the coming week, it’s nice and cozy in the garage and I’m not happy to go out in a monsoon.

Better try and take a picture before that, then.

Very exciting to watch all the submissions arriving over these last few days!

Suspension is probably shit but i’ll have a ride on one of these when I can. Right engine and transmission, right wheels, Italian flare, but suspension might be a dud.

They wouldn’t go near the Himalayan

Still starting, just watched the bus scene. Reminds me of The Punisher, really liked that too, the TV series, not the film.

She’s looking in appreciation as clearly it’s a man’s hand fixing the puncture.

I was looking back and forward on the thread wondering what people were commenting about! BOTM, there’s a thread waiting for them now, don’t leave me hanging!

Bob Odenkirk is starring a new show on Netflix, that's all I need to know. It's called "Nobody".

He’s quiet about it though! Guilty pleasure?

Put some wine in there too. I really should take the GS to the Eifel in Germany. See a few friends, do a few laps of the track just cruising around, I’ll try to do it next year. If it happens I do plan to stay for two or three night near you so we can do a ride around those roads you keep posting about, plus a proper dinner or two. It’ll be planned, so @boboneleg, I’ll keep you up to date if it happens.

Blues Brothers 2000 on tv right now. It’s the kind of thing you just have to watch when you’re browsing and it’s on.

Get the electric now, it’ll increase your range instantly. A fast electric mountainbike feels like cheating (in a good way) once you see the speeds you’re doing uphill.

It is today

It's very expensive, but it is an exotic bike with exotic low volume parts.

In most places, you build bridges to help cross rivers. In Portugal, you get the floods on top of the bridges while the river flows calmly below:

Just you

Gayest thing I’ve ever seen a bike do:

The Fall of The House of Usher. It’s weird and dark and violent and ghostly and suicidey, not that good but I can’t stop watching it. It’s on Netflix.

I used to like a cigarillo sometimes and have really considered taking up smoking to give me something to do while enjoying a scenic location. Last year in Morocco I stopped and being by myself I understood the sense that smoking makes in situations like that
