  1. I would appreciate cheaper gas prices for sure, but my 1200 uses less than 5 lt/100km, if I ride normally and stay out of motorways it's got enough of a fuel range that I forget about gas prices between fill ups It'll take a while for me to consider exceptionally low fuel consumption as something that draws me to a bike, however, high fuel consumption does make me turn away from one, that has always been the case.

    Black Days!

    9/11, was at school finishing lunch, someone turned the cafeteria’s tv to see the news and saw the second plane hit the towers while people still thought the first one was accidental.
  3. Mine's got the spoked wheels, smart ass!
  4. Shit, @Sir Fallsalot, 11 hours on muddy trails? Did you loose a bet or join the foreign legion? I rode the GS around very local streets to dry it out after washing, took 20 minutes
  5. My plan to wash the bike didn't go according to plan. I had a little more work in the afternoon and forgot I had ran out of bike washing liquid, so went to buy it, but of course riding the bike got hot and it feels not ok to wash a hot engine, will probably be left for tomorrow. Spent a big part of the day on the phone but feel like I've done nothing.
  6. You gain nothing on going full at it on the weekend. I have learned to continue asking clients for questions, over and over if needed, simplifying requests until there is no chance of a misunderstanding.
  7. You know, some people procrastinate when asking for stuff like that and leave it to when they feel is the last time, and usually that happens to be the end of the week. Just leave it to monday, two days isn't much and enjoy a day off.
  8. relaxing while working until now, after lunch I might wash the bike and go for a short ride to dry it properly, as the weather is very nice. Later having dinner with my neighbors, and tomorrow going for a short ride around, maybe.
  9. October 2016 or 2017, coming back from Morocco: night time, tired, hungry and cold arriving in Lisbon in the rain, my more than half worn Heidenau K60 on a loaded bike letting me know at every motorway offramp and expansion joint why they are known to be shit in the rain. I swear I thought we were going down every time I had to put the slightest amount of lean into a corner.
  10. Strange name for a girl, Eye Almost ran over a kid once, he just suddenly ran to cross the street and away from his mother, it was a quiet country street with little traffic and I was going downhill so not making a lot of noise. I stopped from about 70 or 80kmh a meter or so before I hit him. Probably the scariest moment for me.
  11. On the politically correct side, you end up with a nicer acronym if one of those is POTY

    Enough now...

    I meant it as a joke, insulation for homes / insulation from Europe...
  13. He really has to, considering it’s aparently served on a sizzling dish

    Enough now...

    Britain is more and more insulated from Europe, people are never happy with what they have…
  15. Which is ironic because it’s about the same size, too
  16. I meant that you get so hyper alert and hysterical that your imagination gives you a nudge into interpreting the situation your own way. There's a saying here that translates to something like "I don't believe in witches, but they are out there"
  17. I don't get any of that crap. If you want to walk around an old abandoned hospital, you're bound to catch a fright. If not looking to feel hyped up and hysterical and overthinking the situation, which is what happened, why go? Plenty of nice normal buildings with no ghosts and the guy who is afraid of them goes exploring an abandoned hospital?
  18. I don't know what that was, the first two eyes were probably a cat. If you're afraid of ghosts why go look for them? Also, it's way smarter to wear long pants when walking through that kind of thorny bushes, just saying. Fucking hipsters
  19. A wanking arab? What kind of places do you visit??
