You’ll see the whole movie in gifs,@Clive

WTF Clive!

Rocky and Rocky II is on tv now! Portuguese tv!

Better get a chinese one. Pushing is good exercise!

Might as well try and enjoy it since you're doing it anyway.

Classy response, Clive.

My work colleague, very annoyed that my phone keeps disturbing his morning nap: Back at it

Nice colour on the new one. I do like the bronze on the 500's engine, though.

Did you slip a disc fitting the handguards, thus stopping your riding?

You're filming now too?

Sounds a bit like those expats that Pete complains about, living partly somewhere but at the same time not really living there, just acting like they're on two weeks holiday and forgetting about going back.

Plenty of theoretically interesting bike for me, a Triumph that is cheaper than a BMW but supposedly very good, a couple of Ducatis, but I just don't like their shops here in Portugal and their attitude. Might be just towards me though

Did you stop riding after fitting the handguards?

Or just take that BMW you have gathering dust and spider webs. That engine was made for touring, and you’re insulting it.

They can be sold anywhere with a good Honda dealership, just not usually displayed on showrooms so use that to check them out. Fit a sheep’s skin on top for road trips, they’re cool bikes!

In Spain you might find a dealer carrying Honda Montesa bikes. They are sweet!

Hopefully not long, Bob. Even one week would way too much.

As far as heating gilets, all I have to say is that you shouldn’t re-heat fish…

Nothing sounds cooler than an Italian manufacturer name for whenever they do a special something. I had a friend with an Alfa or a Lancia with a Potenziato engine, cool as hell!

This is what passes for a ride report after a week in the Pyrenees?

Regularly you say. nothing wrong with that, you have a drink or ten, it’s cold outside, sleeping in a tent…

No rain for ages and now it comes all at once. Gale force winds outside, Costa ran out for a quick poo and ran back inside with his ears back. Light went out twice after dinner, luckily the wine was already cold!
