I meant 4 months delay on top of the the original delivery time of 4 or 5 months.

Is that in Spain?

I wouldn't be in a rush, my mate bought a new CB500S a few months ago and delivery time after ordering it was postponed 3 or 4 times to a total of more than 4 months.

Not on the street, but I visited a Honda dealership today and they had a couple of the owner's personal classics on display, my favourite one:

I'm on my second C3Pro, which was still lighter and quieter than the C4 and C4Pro when I got it. They are ok and I obviously bought a second one so I like them. I would go straight for the C5 instead of the C4 range, though, they seem so much better built. My next helmet is probably going to be a Shoei, though, and probably this year. Something to do with the sizing as I think I am an L in Shoei but an XL in Schubert, and my Schubert gets a little too big once getting a little older.

In Portugal the Transalp 750 is going to be showing up at dealers only on the end of Abril / first days of May.

And it’s obviously made out of wine appropriate glass.

To celebrate, me and Sofia are going for a ride. waiting for her to meet me in Constancia right now

You making fun of yourself takes away all the joy

I hope you mean a mars bar

What exactly are you so afraid that the police might do against you? You didn’t exactly have a chance against an impact from the rear, and they won’t accuse a panicking foreigner of retrieving their belongings from the road. Also, women get away with everything

Snow crabs? Is that right? snow?

Went to have a coffee with a mate in the morning, lasted until midday. Saw a family arriving on motorcycles, parents on a R1200RT and a young guy on a Yamaha 125cc, that was very cool to see. Plenty of dad and daughters out of little sunday morning rides. I liked that. Then home for lunch as it was starting to get properly warm. Now gathering the strength to get up the sofa and clean the house, make the bed again with newly washed linens, and leave it all nice for when I leave in the morning.

That’s what I don’t get, assuming you’re talking about sitting down and having some beer, why not have a smaller glass and enjoy several less stale and colder beers than one larger serving each time? For the same money per cc would you enjoy it more? when you have a bottle of wine you don’t go filling the glass to the brim time.

They said fanny packs were gone, I said no way!

It didn’t sound right so I checked it, 12oz is 35cc, or 350ml. The typical Portuguese tap beer glass is 20cc, which is what that is in the picture. This is perfect for keeping it from dying in your hands, and on hot days you don’t end up with a warm glass as it doesn’t last that long. A normal beer bottle is 33cc, so very similar to what you have, but a few years ago some genius came up with the Mini which is a 20cc beer bottle, we should hunt that guy down and make him prime minister, no more warm beers on a hot day! Somehow now it’s all pints and english style glasses in specialist beer bars, fucking hipsters!

I see Paris Hilton still hasn’t got her shades back. Have fun!

Nothing dramatic like that would happen, it would just be stuck and a pain in the ass to take out. A proper bore on a warm day. I do like it too, and would rather not drag it out of a hole

Just your normal daily use pilsner. I like simple beers. Had a 4€ craft beer the other day, with my brother and a friend, to be honest it’s money wasted on me. Would much prefer a nice wine instead.

Can't get much more typical Ribatejo tasca than this Very simple but nicely done bifana sandwich and a tap beer: 2,5€ I was on the bike and it was the first warm day of the year for me, at 28º that hit the spot, sadly I had to ride the bike home or else I'd have stuck around for a few more.

It's not very often I turn back except when the road ends, I did today. This was just by Santarem which is the regional capital city. Santarém is right on top of a hill with a very high and nice view to the inland of Portugal and the Tejo river. There are obviously streets, roads and even motorways to go that way, but I somehow found myself on a very steep dirt road that had a very deep water carved trench right in the middle. I managed to wedge the front wheel on a rut to prevent it from slipping down and went to take a look by foot. The dirt was sort of crumbling and I could really see myself slipping onto the middle rut, which was deep enough to wedge the cylinders and leave the front wheel in the air. Since that was what I was picturing it was probably what was going to happen, so slowly put the bike down, turned it 90º and back I went with my tail between my legs.

Now I remember too, closest I was to dying was probably on a hotel room in Palma de Maiorca jumping from on balcony to the other. It was a short distance but I sort of slipped. Wasn’t using my best judgement there, and never felt like doing that ever since. was about 14 or 15

Possibly the scariest thing ever in my life just happened. As I was stuffing some cardboard into the recycling bin the neighbours cat screamed and flew from the inside right through the narrow slit and flew right past my face. I almost just died from the fright, gave a proper scream too.

Reminded myself, I once rode a small plastic sled onto the middle of a frozen lake in Serra da Estrela, once it stopped and I got up the i e broke and I fell in. Couldn’t get out as all ice kept breaking as I tried to get out. Before I went under from the weight of soaked clothing someone slid to near me and threw me a rope. Must have been about 8 or 10. Remember changing clothes and feeling ultra warm on jeans and a tshirt for hours after
