Tomorrow I shall take a short ride to Ericeira, probably the last one while the weather's amazing, and will enjoy that cool vibe for a day or two. On the way there I will stop by my favourite hilltop cafe where I will attempt to style and profile if the place is Covid friendly and not crowded. If it is crowded, I will sulk and carry on to stop somewhere less cool to have coffee.

Got any pictures? Because otherwise ...

How far do you ride for fuel? Regardless of weather I never start any vehicle specifically to go for fuel, but then again I live one km away from a fuel station.

Get rid of that box, Pete, and just carry a small bag if you want to carry a sandwich or some water. A big box like that ruins the lightness of a small bike like that 650, it just doesn't look cool

Givi stuff is simple, reasonably priced, and just works.

There are no spacers between that base plate and the bike's base plate, though, or are there?

I think there is another top box base plate (BMW original or givi?) to which they permanently screwed the 4 spacers holding the Shad base plate on, I just hope they didn't glue it onto the base plate. That's proper pikey, if that's what they did

Hand it over to you local car paint shop, it'll match your bike for 50€. Kind regards, Pedro

Lyn (male)! Great to hear from you!!

I edited for accuracy

SOber? WTF @boboneleg, is covid not enough?

There are false positives but obviously you always have to treat them like a sure thing. A second test settles it. Hope all goes for her!

Rode to Ericeira in the morning, a few showers on the motorway but didn’t even get my legs really wet Watching some surfing now, will enjoy the weekend here then spend some quality time by myself at home next week.

He's probably just trying to not fall backwards while waiting for the buzz to go.

He's just standing there The law? What do you think this is? Rio Bravo?

Nobody stopped to ask him because usually he is a very aggressive drunk

So, staying at my parents' home, yesterday I get home and there's this guy standing in the street, check this out:

How very dare you! I'm no mediterranean, I'm from northern Portugal!

Did you know, @Tym, that some Harley riders wire their trailer or their car to their bike´s odometer so that it counts miles being trailered to events as well? There you go!

So, you're starting to try and ride faster than the KLR?

It's not that it's professional, the BMW GS assembly video is very professional, it's just something about a japanese guy searching for flaws that is really reassuring.

Now you're getting exercise!

If we have another tie I vote for someone to get shit in the mail as a gift.

I meant while riding, @Tym He'll be carrying these in his topbox
