Make a surgery report @Tango, beds with wheels count as well! Hope it goes well.

They may get it, but they don’t get it Nice road for a big bike?

Where is that BTW?

Via del Salle, Alps close to the Mediterranean Nurburgring via France Morocco … because awesome adventure

Isn’t SWM made in Italy?

That instantly makes it not a Pete

Costa on our earlier walk

Plus, why would someone drink out of a plastic cup at home?

That plate is like an all you can eat at a hotel for those guys that find they must take a little bit of each, three different dishes mixed together!

Speed Cross, italian film from 1980: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124302/ Two motocross racers (riding KTMs) come across an organized crime rigging of sports bets and insurge against it. Very Italian, full voice over sound with mismatched sound and lips moving, but a few very cool motorcycle scenes, old Mercedes on pursuit, Italians in suits, getting laid with ladies, etc, proper stuff worth a watch if not taken seriously. Cool stuff!

Used a seabass tail to make a delicious roast. Nothing like a proper fresh line caught big seabass on the oven with onions and olive oil: Tried to immitate Sofia's pastries but it was a fluke, too bland flavours: The sweet ones used for dessert to go along a coffee were a big success though, with pumpkin jam and cinamon Sunday lunch, roasted beef with oven cooked raisin rice, and creamed spinach (these don't have cream though, just garlic, butter, olive oil and a little flour), last sunday's lunch, reminded me of my childhood when sunday was a special day: Melanzane alla Parmigiana, just cooked that for dinner tonight for my parents. No meat, it's grilled aubergines (traditionally fried but I dry grill them with a little olive oil midway through) with tomato sauce, plenty of basil, mozzarella and parmesan, assembled like a lasagna. It turned out pretty great.

Cheap dates!

Gay!

I can’t believe I’m saying this but:

Yes, you don’t do enough miles to wear them you know I joke out of love

Doesn’t need to, it’s the bike

If I know where I'm going, and it involves motorways and main roads I try to remember to turn on Waze even if not needed, and just leave notifications off except alerts. This works well for speed camera warnings. To use as a digital map, stopping and checking the roads around, figuring out where to go, and maybe even silent navigation, Google Maps is way better than the apple version. Searching for hotels and having accurate prices instantly on your map, searching restaurants around, etc, for stuff like that Google is really impressive. As a guide, I'll be able to ride through most offroad paths that show up on google maps, it's a great way to find places I wouldn't consider otherwise.

There are some very short cables available, they make a difference in the way that it's easier to strap them to the handlebar and less flapping about putting strength on you phone's plug to hold it. Seems you can almost get rid of the quad lock arm, have you tried it without?

So you took the car and not the bike, then? All good?

Right, it’s way better to sit at home whining that you have to be on call.

I already hear that, I just don’t miss out on work calls too

I can almost hear @Tangowondering if his lady´s lack of enthusiasm to ride a bike can turn into her buying herself a two up bike to add to the stable.

When I worked from my office it was a 20km ride mostly on a motorway. Even with filtering through one or two stoplights it took me longer on the bike than on the car just from putting the jacket and helmet on and off and all the "event" that riding a bike and taking it off the garage compared to the car. Not compared to a freeking Goldwing

I don't know, shouldn't you check to see if your washing machine is posting rude things about you in facebook?
