You couldn’t get that insurance on your bike here in Portugal unless to act as a financing warranty, regardless of price.

I meant to write hinky

That’s all relative. What does your insurance cover?

I honestly am very sorry to have caused or contributed to all this.

Don't these pictures look kinky? Like they're twisted or pictures of pictures?

We should send an e-mail to Rotax and ask for an explanation I'll be in my mechanic's workshop next year, he's bound to have a couple of these engines apart there, I'll see if there are rice grains inside

I absolutely do not want to be a moderator ever again, last time I deleted someone's account after they logged in for the first time and opened a thread saying hello

I would be interested in seeing a similar test between different chinese manufacturers, I bet we would see an amazing difference between makers. From that sample it looks like China is trying to solve their trash problem by exporting it hidden inside engines

The distance mustn't be easy if what ails Allie is so painful. Hope it goes well.

Omelette made with fresh farm eggs, with onions and mushroom filling, served with raw spinach

Two questions: What are bobble-hats? police? What is fly tipping?

a couple of them still carry on, portuguese car stuff, I simply moved on and lost interest but they did carry on. The others were also Pete's from back when, can't really say why but to me they just (over time) turned into a battleground of repetitive inside jokes

I, for one, think we are headed in the same direction as before in forums from a few years ago. All threads are fusing into the same conversation, with the same jokes and banter regardless of topic. Makes a real mess of it when you show up and see all threads discussing the same things, I've had two people comment this to me, take it as you will. In my small experience of different forums, only 4 or 5, this is the most clicky ever as even welcome threads turn into inside jokes in a few posts. Consider how many members register, and how many post a single "hello" and introduce themselves.

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.

I thought of it but am trying to keep out of the banter

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.

That indeed is a good sunrise. Since the school depends on it, and the road is apparently clear, wouldn't it make more sense to have a motorized snowblower?

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.
