  1. Whatched "SlingShot", about Dean Kamen. Dean Kamen became famous for inventing the Segway even though most of his work has been in the medical field, and is dedicating part of his life to water purifying systems to solve the worldwide drinking water problem. A great inventor and an amazing guy, it's worth a watch.
  2. You're trying to make it look chinese, aren't you?

  6. You really go the extra mile to take a shit picture. Lovely place to drop a stolen car though.
  7. What is it with taking pictures of the ground. Here's a tip, horizon at least in the middle of the picture. Like the barn, though!
  8. I see where Pete got the idea for his topbox frame.
  9. Won't comment on the tow bar, but do you not feel tempted to replace those ugly brown/bronze exhaust tips with something chromed?
  10. That's a pretty nice frame. Now it'll look like shit even when not carrying a box. Result!
  11. I felt like a laughing smilie on account of him always being dressed as a pirate, but it wouldn't have been good etiquete. Sad news.
  12. Having a good monday today, morning walk with good buddy, then a nice fruit breakfast, now working sitting outside while he naps. Might even get a few orders in today by the way this is going. Good times.
  13. I fell over too, once, riding a motorcycle on sand

    Very interesting report! Here we call that drink "aguardente", fire water really, do you call that brandy in English? "Domestic" non regulated stills have slowly almost disappeared in Portugal, there used to be many but that sort of alcohol has been outlawed in restaurants and cafes and slowly pushed out of service. Although obviously the most common source is grapes or wine, here some of the most typical are also made from figs and arbutus berry (looked it up in google translate), the arbutus being the most rare but only really made in the Algarve or south Alentejo. I am not really a spirits guy, but used to know an old guy in the Algarve that as a kid worked in a still in the hills, in restaurants he used to pour a few drops into the palm of his hand and rub both hands together like spreading lotion, then breath that in to determine the quality and purity of the product. Very interesting guy. How many miles have you got on the Tiger now? Still the nicest color I've seen in those bikes!
  16. They've been good computers so far, at least for me. Quick and good enough for what I do with them, and bulletproof considering the time they spend on my sidecars with temperatures from quite cold to really very hot.
  17. I think they better take him out of the track on a helicopter, or make him stay inside for a couple of days. The surrounding crowd is not happy
  18. Safari, in a Mac. I'll just let it be and it'll fix itself.
  19. It's the rubble piles and the plastic trash in the background that really make that picture! Location location location!
  20. I already had, problem persists. I had assumed you got tired of the Triumph Tiger Is that your reply to all those internet never sleeps problems?
  21. I can't either, for a few days now. This is on a laptop, on the phone I can indeed see the header.
