I shall be taking Costa for his walk in the morning, and then taking the bike out for a ride up to the hills, back home by mid afternoon.

Not sure about driving together, but there’s a forum https://www.ibizaclubpt.com There are 400hp diesel ibizas driving on methanol here, they do street racing together, maybe that counts?

I used to put a little bit of tape over the camera’s microphone hole, worked great for buffeting.

They do, actually, if they’re those guys

Enough with the food jokes already, it was an honest question directed to someone travelling with friends with whom he’s too tired to share dinner and a drink with. Those last one or two hundred miles will still be there in the morning and best enjoyed with a fresh spirit

Never buy shit from a guy outside a pub

Why ride such long days if you're too tired to enjoy the evening, though?

I love that, as a kid watching tv shows that is the landscape I thought all American mountains were like, either that or desert. We've got similar here but the scale and the distances you cover going through that are different.

I googled it, very cool John Wayne style shooter Americans are weird, just found out there is an Internet Movie Firearms Database http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Harley_Davidson_and_the_Marlboro_Man#Ruger_Super_Blackhawk

If they're really custom built for you, 6 weeks between order and shipment seems quite quick to me.

So just take you on a blowjobless ride

No ancestors of mine rode motorcycles, got no offspring and probably will never have any, so it starts and ends here. Couple of stories though, my grandad once got the clap while in the army driving trucks (he didn't get the clap actually driving the trucks, more likely on a stop somewhere ) , and they lent him a service motorcycle to go the pharmacy to buy penicillin, army base was in Alentejo quite far from a town. He learned to ride a motorcycle that day, right before riding it through a fence. He didn't ride anymore, and didn't get penicillin that day either My girlfriend, Maria, remembering how to ride on her CRF230, she much rather preferred touring with me on the GS, though, but we had fun on the dirt bikes as well.

I love it, "did you die?": not a good adventure!

I have done that on the XR a few times, only on dirt obviously. I would be happy to try on a big bike, and I think I could do it on a gs, but not going to try it on my own bike

We had a few cool days, but it's starting to warm back up now. I have been in Espinho over the last few days, which is up north and has a little bit of a microclimate, being usually cooler than anywhere else. It's been pretty much perfect weather.

Me and @Sofia went for a ride today, around some of the roads where I learned how to ride a bike when I had my 650 Transalp a few years ago. Didn't take many pictures, though, so here they are Arouca is a town that has a typical breed of cows, they grow slowly but their meat is very tasty, a lot of them roam the hills freely, most of the time keeping to themselves but often laying on the road for a nap, and since they're so big that can be pretty funny. Visiting this place and not meeting an Arouquesa is just not the same, here is one quite curious about the bikes. stopped at a nice spot near Portal do Inferno (translated Gateway to Hell), where you get views on both sides of the road: And having lunch at São Pedro do Sul, under a refreshing shade on a warm afternoon.

Screw the tree, I would have kept myself there for the minimum amount of time needed just because of the electrical wire holding said tree up.

I have tried a seat cover like that suggested above, received it on the mail yesterday, tested today in about 30 or 32º. I can say it is an improvement over normal. You can indeed feel some ventilation but only going at over 120 or 130kmh, rest of the time I think it also helps but it's not as noticeable. Of course this depends on bike aerodynamics. I'll have to go on a trip with it off and instal after a while to see how much of a difference it makes. It does make the seat firmer but also comfier, also less grabby than . For the cost it's an improvement in hot conditions for sure. I am not sure from which seller I bought mine, but I think it took well over month to arrive from China.

Agreed
