  4. Dirtbike engines are ugly, though except maybe the XR
  5. 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.
  6. I meant taking a walk on the wild side, that was more of a tripping on the sidewalk crossing the street
  7. My grandad always used to say that most of who try it, like it and don’t go back He wasn’t talking about Harleys
  8. It’s not how gay you feel, it’s how much you like it I for one think they’re just the thing for an aging pensioner retiring abroad in the Mediterranean, a jap cruiser with metal buttons on the seat or a cb500, finally let go of that uptight UK way of be, live life, experience new things… la vida loca

    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
  13. Playing devil's advocate, though, and that's a slippery slope. You lose the Twin, then what kind of engine doesn't matter, then crap suspension doesn't matter either, then it´s all about just going somewhere so you might as well see the same argument used by people touring on bicycles, then the same again by people walking to places. Not saying that Harleys are more advanced, but there are untenable qualities about certain bikes that make you appreciate journeys more than on others, regardless of measurable advantages between each other.

    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:
  19. 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
  20. I look forward to that, and maybe even a small video properly explaining how it works
