Forrest fire nearby, by the hills with the windmills. It's airplanes flying over my place to get to the river for water every minute: https://fogos.pt/fogo/20230838629

That's a scary looking dude!

When did MV Agustas become ugly?

Did you try to stuff that in a plastic bag and put inside a kettle?

Holocaust, the plague, chinese vehicles, lots of things aren't your fault Pete. Winding people up so they bore other people, that's your fault. Who said that? Maybe you mean everyone praised you for it.

He is a boring annoying twat, it's your fault though, always asking him questions. Please don't bring him back.

How dare he? Who carried on this insult?

It’s a Strom 650, I think.

Made in Brasil too, surely. Great track knowledge, particularly impressive in the tighter bits. I liked the laugh at the end when the cop found the guy down next to the bike.

Squared off tires are better for you to pretend being a god of balance when stopping for a second or two without putting feet on the ground, though.

You boiled an omelette? The price of fame, think of your fans though.

a Hernia pandemic? Do you have to wear a mask?

Greats solution to keep polution out of city centers, smooth and quiet is luxury, Rolls Royce has been doing that for ages. What kind of soul is there on a bland handling car with a clunky slow auto box and a generic engine from god know who, same as an electric car. Also, a fast electric vehicle does sound good when it's properly going for it. My neighbors got a Renault Zoe, it sounds like Darth Vader's ship landing next door every time he drives down the steep street

Now at 13000km, maybe 14, the rear looked like this earlier today after being a little punished on hot tarmac. This is approaching it's end, but they still inspire confidence in the dry. You can feel the edges flex when leaning a little, but still a lot of feeling for a mixed tire. The new ones are at home waiting, I was hoping these would last till Morocco 2023, but maybe they won't.

I make a point of enjoying restaurants and cafes when going places. Cooking out of a kettle? What? Brits call dinner their tea, is this the opposite when you say cooking dinner and it's really just tea?

I honestly don’t remember his face from back then, Pete. Most people in the Netherlands are tall as hell!

Ever since the attack in Brussels airport

Proper day of riding today, left home at 11:30, stopped at 20:00 went through 11 degrees at 2000m and wet fog to 27 degrees at sunset, including a cow traffic jam.

The other day I saw a youtube video of some guys making a custom Low Rider ST, and the front wheel had Made In China stamped on it hidden by the wheel bearings

Raining... I'll give it a few hours

Barely time enough to enjoy the place or catch up with your son, Pete. Are you planning on going back soon with a less hectic schedule?

If I was expecting 25° maximum temperature I would take my winter jacket

I like the colour on sportsbike kawasakis, but that front end…

For someone built like a racer, this must be a blast of a bike to ride, so ugly though.

Tomorrow earlyish I’ll be riding off and have a plan for the first 2 or 3 hours, then spending two or three days riding around. It’ll probably be warmer than I would prefer but it’s summertime.
