I thought they would have minced meat on the inside, but turns out nothing inside those pies is minced? Is the whole food thing in the UK a joke on foreigners?

Why is that? Isn't it a Kawasaki H2 engine?

WOW, let's not carried away and take two pictures on a ride! I find more simplicity helps with this, I just took my phone. You don't need stuff complicating the getting on and off the bike, gets tiresome. Thank you for the compliment, but I really need to work on my English, it used to be a quite more elaborate. That's interesting and exactly what I was thinking about myself on most of the ride back. I have found out several things about myself. During the moment it sometimes felt surreal and like it wasn't really me experiencing moments, it felt sort of like reading about someone doing what I was living through. Sort of a weird numb feeling sometimes in which I surprised myself at little I was feeling, but at the same time I fell apart and lost control in other situations. What made me break up emotionally were not feelings of sadness but of reliving events that happened. I still feel like I left Maria there and it still broke my heart to come back and leave her again, that's why I rode straight back home. It'll still be very hard to go back again, similarly hard but with less of the unknown factor, and at the same time I will go back for sure and avoid a few places that didn't show me love. I always have had a relationship with places that I like, some reward me for the relationship some don't, some just take and don't give back and they're like a difficult relationship to which I come back again and again. I really missed the adventure feeling of being somewhere completely not European, and that feeling of riding into a small mountain village with smoke in the air and food smells, I miss that now already. I also learned I can ride better than I thought through some sorts of terrains, and it gave me confidence on the bike, and I was never tired or bored or not feeling like riding in the morning. I enjoyed doing this alone, and that hurts me and makes me feel like I'm betraying a lot of things I can't even pronounce.

That's a cool thing!

Nothing wrong with my head today, felt fine all day. Really needed the sleep too as with the work day I had I wouldn´t have shut my eyes till the morning. Woke up at very reasonable hours, and by 10 was sitting outside having my coffee. Real men don't whine after a little drink!

After a night of drinking by myself, woke up and stayed in bed till a little bit later than normal, then the sun came out and I drove to a friend's parent's for lunch with them. Nice long enough drive each way to get the moisture out of the old car's engine. Those are farming fields next to the road, irrigated by the Tejo but not part of the river. Safe to say this region is no longer in a draught!

Take the roads and then some dirt roads, and then some trails, a GS's suspension is made for that. And the seat isn't like a KTM's.

Looks cold. And cool!

Get her on a GS, it's the best for a passenger if you go on rough roads.

They will rent out a big GSA, and trust me that there is no finer adventure bike to carry a passenger on.

Rent a BMW R1250GSA Marcel, you've got a lady with you, show her a good time! You'll still be able to pass all the Harleys on the freeways or motorways or highways or whatever you call them over there.

If you were alone I'd tell you to rent a white GSA and arrive back at the hotel all dusty and looking like a mix of John Wayne, Lucky Luke, Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood. But you're not, so there.

I don't know what a qwest is but go in and help her get it!

I don't know of half of what you'e talking about dude! You'll be Vegas, go watch Elvis marry someone then get a bike and go into the desert! Cool stuff going on in the desert, even if it's nothing but starlights. Amazing light there, although maybe not in Vegas. Trust me! It's the same stars we are all watching, think about it!

We're dealing with an inferior breed here...

It's you and me here Marcel, all these other guys here are asleep by midnight on a friday!

This is officially my response, and the laughter took so long it gave me the time to do it:

Yes, that was the joke.

That reminds me, today I saw an asian food restaurant named “Xabor Oliental” today, this is similarly offensive as in the UK calling it a “Flied Lice Lestaulant”! Only in pre-political correctness Ribatejo!

They make a tv show of it, all the grandmothers like watching it! like Pete!

How is it called in the UK? Don’t all countries get that?

Proper ugly, too! Harley, being the oldest running brand has been rebadging bikes for more than anyone, too, their own made overseas or the other way around. If you stop bh a BMW dealership and look at the tiny 310, you’ll see that has been adopted by discerning makes too

Completely different wing fixing points and engine placement, and landing gear placement, and canopies on those planes, regardless of my pre drinking drinking!
