The drama of a brit being left out of his tea bags

In the first, I dare you to challenge the mob in you not being eligible. On the second, I agree, it was a cool internet place to hang your coat until it got too ... I don't know what it got too much of.

I might too Fred, if every fucker tries it and it works we might as well not go for it ....

You've got an advantage this year @XTreme, by creating this place. I know you'll say you're not eligible but bollocks to that, you're just fearful your white skin can´t cope with the attention, but god knows you're having trouble in BOTM and we won't make a vote for BELADMOTM (British Expat Living in Andalucian Desert Member Of The Month)

I'm pretty bored with all of my rides.... is it time i do something foolish?
Pedro replied to Mess's topic in MOTORCYCLE CHAT
Have you two compared inseams? Superbikes are getting less and less comfortable over the last 4 or 6 years, if those last 20hp and electronics don't really matter an older bike might be a better choice without while saving having to sacrifice all other rides. Also might be a little more enjoyable when not on track. -
Life goes tits up even during a nice night's sleep, but you have to agree that sometimes you tend to avoid activities that have gone tits up before.

Short dirt road arriving back home at the end of the afternoon Azambuja's fields, partially flooded. (on purpose, I suppose for fertilization purposes)

I know it hasn't got the same bling or not as capable electronics, but an older S1000RR will be bigger and more comfortable, how tall are you? These new superbikes have gotten way too tiny for a normal man. -
They should keep you on payroll to ride to all the major cities, everywhere you go in Spain people lock themselves inside!

That's sand, Pete, it's a forrest track.

It's that one I bought from eBay, helps ventilation and is quite great in hot weather to avoid sweaty balls. It also helps to firm the seat up a bit and I like it more like this.

So, today I rode to the supermarket .... proper casual, I know! I was going insane at home and had to go out, was in danger of running out of wine, had had run out of olive oil, can't have that so any excuse is a good one for warming up the bike. Stopped by my local favourite shop for a coffee, what a nice place this is, Dainese outlet, plus coffee shop and wine shop. Bought 4 bottles of my favourite local Syrah, said hello to a couple of friends, meanwhile the sun came out and the weather turned glorious. Heading back home Took a little excursion off the main road It's been raining a lot over the last few days, and this is quite sandy terrain, turned back when it got too soft for my liking Properly green in the Ribatejo now Brief stop at the supermarket, apart from the groceries I decided to buy some toilet paper in the spirit of the season

Like insurance companies need any reason to try and get away from covering what they're paid to cover

Stairway to the sky (or to heaven), and that's 20km away from you? I like that a lot!

Managed to make my boiler give me hot tap water again. @yen_powell’s valve is indeed stuck but I think does not open. I unstuck it with a couple of whacks, but then it sticks again. Will get it stuck in tap water position because I fear it’ll eventually break if I keep hitting it. Next will see if I can get it replaced easily by myself, for now it’s lunch with my neighbours

Plan today was to sleep in, maybe go out on the XR or wash the GS, maybe have lunch with my neighbors if they decide to invite me. Woke up lazily at 09.00 to the sound of heavy rain. Don't feel like going out in torrential conditions and certainly won't wash the GS if I can't ride it dry after. So instead had an invigorating cold shower courtesy of my boiler, and now am standing outside having a hot coffee in my new cords shirt Will see if I can make the damned thing work again, and take it from there. It'll be a lazy day inside while the rain falls.

Not wanting to bother with taking stuff apart and risking flooding my kitchen tonight, I just turned the heating on, and switched the tap on and off forcing the system to switch by itself, and I think that has done the trick so far. Now enjoying a cup of barley coffee while watching Sean Connery's "You Only Live Twice". Winter is coming

That makes sense, thanks! I'll see if I can make any sense of it tomorrow.
