  1. I got my system because I used to do 300km on the motorway on friday afternoons and I'd miss out on work calls, seemed like I spent the week chasing clients and all of them would decide to place orders as soon as I got on the bike and headed home, even though I had to slow way down on the motorway to be able to even exchange a few sentences it made all the difference. Then one day I put music through it, and now I couldn't imagine going on a long ride without it. It does get addictive.
  2. I think it'll sound very disappointing to listen to speech on a helmet, music might be ok but honestly for speech you'll find yourself having to actively concentrate on what you're listening to properly understand it. Then, at motorway speeds it´ll become a blurred mess unless you have either a very clean wind on a naked bike or a big screen like on a touring one. I use Sena's aftermarket kit for Schuberth, and still use earplugs for protection and comfort. In my opinion plugs help reduce the noise and the nasty sound of helmet speakers, the sounds come through a little cleaner even though obviously less loud. On country roads the speakers on full power would be too loud inside the helmet, with plugs in it's right the loudness I want. On country roads that's ok and great, on the motorway it's shit unless I put the original big screen on, which I don't.
  3. I don't think you do. You have a nice one and choose to leave it home when going on a trip

  7. Dirtbike engines are ugly, though except maybe the XR
  8. There’s this spot in Nazare in Portugal where they have the biggest ever surged wave in the world, something like more than 35 meters now, it’s silly big ocean! Well, ever since it became worldwide news there are people being washed away every year by standing on the forbidden path to take a selfie.

    We were never best friends with the spaniards, nor they ours, much more of an alliance between Portugal and England than to Spain. Oldest alliance ever! If you really talk to people on both sides you’ll find out we’re very different, don’t really know or care to know what happens on the other side of the border, except that they’re mostly chauvinist idiots.

    Not really how I would put it, maybe more or less like the Scottish and English, if the English were louder

    Spain is shit, really, there you go. There's a lot of food I hate in Spain. And why are you buying precooked frozen crap? Buy ingredients raw and fresh or raw and frozen when fresh, but unless you're buying something exotic that comes from far away there's really no need for it?

    Not at all, it's perfectly nice cooked over coal with just salt. But it's naturally tough so a long cooking time is better, you could say the same about some beef. The video I posted uses the meat to give flavor to the rice primarily, it's the other way around, and the result is a very rich dish if make properly. We look at the UK in the same way with their sauces and bland stuff. Anyway, you have a pre steamed octopus in a bag, look forward to hear how that's better than something frozen from fresh and defrosted before cooking. Octopus is maybe only kind of meat that naturally works better frozen and defrosted for an unexperienced cook since it breaks some of the fibers and makes it softer. A bigger animal might be more flavorful but difficult to cook, it'll vary from hard to soft to hard again as it cooks. Regarding the olive oil, better quality is always better but there are very different flavors. Normally you'll find it stronger and a little more imposing if it comes from most of spain and lower portugal, from dry plains where it easy to plant in industrial farming resorting to intensive watering. Try some from a harsh climate and mountainous area and you still might not like it but the taste is completely different. Normally olive trees in new farming produce oil after 3 or 4 years of intensive watering, can't compare that with 200 year old trees that don't get watered.

    Bob's picture of you make it look like a much more serious water crossing

    Boiled or steamed and served with paprika is very popular in Galicia, it's also plain and tasteless and boring as fuck, and does no justice to killing an octopus.

    Starting from raw, to make it tasty you need olive oil and garlic and small taters and the oven. That's not your thing until you try it properly done, you should. Do I understand correctly and is it already steamed and ready to eat? If all there is inside is water use that to make a properly nice rice, like so:
  18. I find a good kick in the tire is a nice way to check tire pressures too, and if the metal wheel is touching to ground the tire is too empty
  19. I look forward to that, and maybe even a small video properly explaining how it works
  20. So a few protesters glued themselves to the ground on a Porsche museum in Germany, and stated that their aim is to get Germany to drop speed limits on all motorways to 100kmh. What did Porsche employees do instead of calling the cops? Closed the museum at the end of the day, shut down heating and turned off the lights for the night! The protesters complained that they weren't given bowls to shit in, and that they were hungry, their hands hurt so one of them was taken to the hospital, and they also complained that security guards made their rounds with very bright torch lights I find this hilarious: link
  21. Don’t ruin next month’s fun for those guys
