You do see them around in Portugal. But Portugal always was a fan of Africa Twins and Paneuropeans

I try to make food pretty on the plate

Yesterday's tagliatelle alla pizzaiolo. The pasta used for the sauce made by my neighbour next door, the olives , the decorative mint leave, and the rosemary used to fragrant the sauce all from my garden. I liked that.

My GS is a bit taller than a normal one, too, enough that when on the center stand the rear wheel doesn't lift off the floor. I will get a picture of it next to one next time I can. My mate is also shorter, he's built like a MotoGP racer, and fits that bike like Honda intended.

Honest question, but how are you going to know if the noise is gone?

Very cloudy day today, vacuumed the house and did the laundry, cleaned the bathroom, hung the bedding out to dry before leaving to meet my friend Dani for lunch. Then stopped by the Dainese place to say high to the guys there and buy a case of wine. Back home to dry laundry and just finished making the bed and talking to my neighbors who gave me soup to keep on the freezer. All in all a good Sunday.

Hey @Slowlycatchymonkey it’s just the two of us here

I wouldn’t use good day as goodbye. And considering the time of day and that I used it after the happenings, it was a statement as to the quality of the day. Another small effort in improving IA, Elon is getting worried!

Spent the morning pulling overgrown vines from the neighbours olive trees that were growing over my wall, pulled them by hand for 3 hours, then pushed a broom to gather around 3 bins worth of soil and leaves off my driveway. Had a shower and spent the afternoon drinking beers and catching up with my friend who has been doing security work all around the world over the ladt year. Good day!

Get someone who does that for a living and then ask for free advice! That always works.

Cold grey day today, am having a mug of coffee outside before cutting a couple of branches on my garden and pulling some weed. Then it’s out after lunch to catch up with a friend, and back. Maybe not even touching the bike today.

Was he worried you would break his confidence and post his fears online?

Great. First that twat Clarkson ruins the Nordschleife and now this twat…

No, for a bot you’re quite clever. I see this as an exercise in helping to develop artificial intelligence.

What you need is a nice boxer engine to take the hit instead of your luggage thus saving you money on … oh wait…

Way cool!

I think you are a bot and don’t really go anywhere. Any day now you’ll start advertising luggage straps or chinese plastic fairing kits.

But you've got your superior genetics to help you...

I went out for lunch on the bike, it was a bit chilly up there on the hills, around 13ºC.

You wish you were going to Baza today

Worked in the morning, felt like trying to row against the tide, and uphill Fuck this, I'm going to take my leather jacket for lunch at the hills.

Jesus Christ, it's all gooey mud!

I've got an old school budget gas stove with no electric spark makers to ignite the gas. I also have an old gas lighter with no gas in it, the long kind you use to light fireplaces and BBQs.

Fusilli Brocolli, made including all the leaves and stalks, quite spicy too using a whole chili. More green and cabbagy than normal italian but I liked it, healthier. Leftover codfish and potatoes with boiled eggs, pepper and olives from my tree. This was quite great, really. Original codfish and potatoes, lots of onion and semi caramelized garlic, comfort food if you're Portuguese.
