Take 1 or 2 thousand km off your recommended oil change regimen to make you happy, but the engine is fine enough with that. Good quality is good enough, you and me aren't hard on engines.

There might be a troll or two, or three, but there are no keyboard warriors here I think

Ok, there’s no meeting!

The meeting might be over the phone

Thursday I will have a meeting somewhere nice for taking the bike.

Today’s pesto, no pine nuts at home so made with pecan nuts, supermarket parmesan instead of pecorino, but pulled it off using a healthy amount of garlic and some freshly ground pepper Washing it down now with some chilled white wine sitting outside

I loved solo rides before, and will continue to. No better way to travel a distance and get lost in your own mind.

Portugal just stopped it too, on hour ago or whatever time it was when I was starting my nice bottle of red wine. Which is a shame, because the current index of vaccine related problems / covid death rate with the same age population gives the vaccine use a huge advantage. I expect some other pharmaceutical company has just made a better lobby effort in some key european decision leading countries and now we're all following like sheep with no proper evidence to back our decisions. It's 90% politics(economic lobbying) / 10% healthcare

I don't like those Pirellis, they're what I currently have on my bike and I won't put them back on. As soon as they're gone I'm going back to TKC70 or something more dirt worthy depending on the proximity to a Morocco trip. The Pirellis just don't give me any confidence. It feels like I am catching oil every time I'm diving into a corner exiting a motorway, or similar. They're ok once leaned but the transition isn't nice. Maybe the shape of them is just too aggressive for me, but regardless of why it is I don't like them.

You're right, since it's a BMW it's half car

Specially not on a dirt road with those tires you don't. How long is that road? It's so lovely it should go for miles and miles.

I meant steering wheel pointing left or right. Right means more lean.

@XTreme, now that you have a sidestand puck, are you parking with the wheel pointing outwards because you miss the comic lean? Seems like a nice area to ride around.

I had fish and chips in a pub in London once, not greasy at all and I really liked it.

I was only in charge of the toppings, home made pizzas

Pea curry and fried eggs:

As an entree, do you need more than some delicious wine, some cheese and dried meat? Yes, Sofia's grilled aubergine and pepper dip, most delicious ever dipping sauce:

Mushrooms sautéed in garlic, creamed spinach, sautéed zucchini and Sofia's tomato and pea rice.

Oven roasted vegetables and rice. White basmati rice cooked with fresh mint, mushroom omelette, and spinach and soy marinated onion salad: Entree, toast with olive oil, melted sheep's cheese and the rest of the salad, I liked it a lot: Portobello mushrooms, cooked with olive oil and garlic, and white basmati with mint

Aubergine lasagna is the best way to describe this, it's a mushroom ragu as tomato sauce, sauteed or fried aubergine instead of pasta, and a ricotta / mozzarella mix as white sauce, and parmesan on top before the oven: and after, it was very nice:

I like all those roads, and broken tarmac makes it interesting.

I like it too, even though it's closed you can look into the distance if standing up so it doesn't feel claustrophobic. I would rather have something completely open like I do at my place, but that is really not nice with so many people on the street like here.

She doesn't mean you, surely a mistake. You never try to intimidate or show off at all.

It's too small a space, with too high a population density outside to have any privacy without walls. On the picture, the left wall is a garage on the other side, the right one has the neighbour's garden on the other side and is about as tall as my eyes or a little taller, so not that high and you can easily jump it. Still, this house has been broken into twice and both times climbing over the tallest side.

After not being with him for a few weeks, today is hanging out with Costa day, had a walk just now, and shall be watching tv in the afternoon
