You got eggrolls instead

I ended up putting it back in with just a few taps. Will replace it and change the oil soon.

I often go on the garage and tap it on the tank or seat, just so it doesn’t feel lonely.

Is it touching the frame?

I’ve got a dirty mind

Spent the morning washing the bike, twice! then cleaned inside the airbox, sadly I didn’t remember to buy a new air filter so gave the old one a good shake. It’s not bad but desert silt is very fine. Also cleaned inside the ecu box, which needs it after dust and rain. Still doesn’t look properly clean if you look up close though, bastard GSs are a bitch to clean properly! Now out on a short ride to buy some wine and bread and warm the bike up properly. Have my classy leather jacket so feeling very cool

Although our own nurse Slowly might do out of endearment for her favourite carpet makers, it is considered politically incorrect, Bob. You better not unless they’ve personally served in the army and shared horrors with you.

Hey @XTreme, suggestions for two new sections: tech advise, Ian and Ian: could provide computer and internet advice, and sidewalk and driveway advise. Real stuff talk, where people vent about family things, like polish relatives, wives, royal enfields, etc

I have but can’t remember what happened. Harleys are cool though, too big for my type of roads but cool.

Tough crowd Marcel! I think those aren’t seared, but a nice steak is a nice steak, along with a nice bottle of wine and all’s good!

That’s one match I am sorry to ha missed in Morocco, Portugal vs Morocco tomorrow! They’re insane about football do it would be good.

I am tempted to try out a proper Harley like Buckster’s or Marcel’s, see if I can turn it around or ride around just fine, they seem so comfy for long distances.

You would die of stress if you were Portuguese and had to wait anything from 1 week to 5 months I get the sweats when there’s a registered letter from some form of official thing, usually it ends up being property tax or IRC or something like that but I always think “fuck, there goes my driver’s license”

I am very diplomatic, so maybe I should indeed.

Just about to crack open some wine, wondering wether white or comfy red. Food is defreezing near the fire, and will have browns for desert. Tomorrow might be not raining, so I'll do an XTreme and wash my bike. I fear it'll take forever, and be fruitless because rain is forecasted for the next few days too, no bike gets as dirty as a GS Then if it continues to not rain I'll take a short ride to have a coffee and stop by Dainese's Outlet to see if they anything worth my attention, I need a winter jacket.

Just so you know, blackie or darkie aren´t endearing terms to call black people.

Rode about 900/1000 km today, with a long stop in the middle for crossing between continents! The Moroccan part was done in a rain storm on small country roads with no navigation aids. Am now drinking wine!

What did your bike ever did to you to deserve being parked outside when you have a nice covered place for it?

I never had steak tartare, but have a craving to have some. Once in Belgium I was undecided on what to pick for dinner, it was January and really cold so went with hot food. The guy next table had the tartare and I gawked at how it was sliced and prepared right there, what did get to me was the mustard, seems like an obvious choice too, no mustard on yours?

You want someone from here to ring her and tell her to seek an expert? I’ll do it, apparently I sound like Borat to some brits.

Who do you think you are to be given an explanation, their boss?

Betas might seem budget because they’re cheaper than Huskys and KTMs and TMs and Hondas but they sell like hotcakes here and have been used to win several national championships all around Europe, using basically stock bikes with some prep. They’re serious bikes!
