Rode over to my parents’ place today, a longer time than usual away. Stayed mostly on the motorway, it was chilly but ok after I put the warmer gloves on. My brother is leaving tomorrow so wanted to spend sometime with him today, also was not looking forward to a day freezing in the hills. brief stop for the chorizo bread lunch@Sofiabaked yesterday. Tomorrow or after it’ll start raining, and I’ll be dealing with work shit for a few days, on top of probable family stuff. This might be my botm submission this month, taken on the @Six30 school of photography At least my best buddy enjoyed his new toy, I missed him greatly

Not a joke, but have you tried closing your eyes and pretend to massage your non existing foot?

It’s an Aprilia according to the speculation. Might as well buy an Aprilia, then.

Shit, sorry to hear Pete.

It’s a lovely looking thing in person, that V8!

There’s a covid and flu epidemic everywhere it seems, everyone I’ve talked to has gotten one or the other since beginning of December. Spanish flu has to be worse though, even if nothing else, but for the accent , hang in there.

Yes. The word gender has a gender. It's male Spanish and Italian are the same too.

I'm Portuguese, I struggle with all this modern stuff.

I wonder if that will be enough for Frankengroin to change his ways.

Pretty cold, and very dirty bikes show the state of the roads. Good on you!

You can’t get cash? All the Croatians, and Portuguese, get very surprised you ask for plastic to pay for a coffee in the UK.

You just can’t get good help these days!

Also has a great name for a 90s glam rock singer!

Smart bot!

This is what I call commitment! Next Twat Of The Year starts only in 48 or 49 weeks and he’s already started making a strong effort since day one, complete with the “you’re” on the title it’s as perfect as it can be.

Can’t see myself buying anything in 2024, nor really wanting to.

This is not religion, it’s philosophy

What if you are god itself? If your consciousness is just floating around in the emptiness of cold eternity and you’re just keeping yourself entertained with a dream? Anyone could be god, and everyone else’s reality would be be a byproduct of someone else’s dream? If I’m god, why would I create an old Citroen Berlingo to be parked right outside the door bothering me right now? Am I punishing myself?

There used to be a Mari Carmen in my plant in Galicia. She was very nice. How far has she slid down, though, now living in a desert being submitted to that abuse

I've got no plans for 2024. There will be a couple of little rides around Portugal for sure, North and Tras os Montes, and Alentejo and Algarve. I´d like to commit to a bigger trip again, like France up to Germany, but can't really commit to it yet. I am failing in motivation to spend Europe money doing big distances though, and still not have the feeling of riding Morocco's dusty mountain roads and deserts, deep inside that's all I really yearn for motorcycling wise.

Happy new year to you too, wonder what people have figured out as wishes and objectives for 2024, I have a list but will wait for tomorrow’s sobriety to post them.
