Pedro

Well, you'll be surprised to know the Panigalle lineup is the strongest seller: https://riders.drivemag.com/news/ducati-2019-sales-reach-top-with-over-53-000-units Props for Ducati!

That's the thing Pete, most of the times it won't clear it and you'll be stuck with it on.

It is a pristine oldschool ZRX750, cool thing! There was also a GPZ900 that I didn't catch on the photo, just like on Top Gun ?

They eat anything in England, @Tym, can´t have anything on a table when those guys are around.

Only name I could come up with, Pete

3ºC is not a little bit chilly, it's fucking cold!

I'm right with you, Ian, I think there is a special way to select the preview image or video quote thing altogether, and sometimes when you get it all selected with a click, you can delete it. Sometimes you can't, though, I can't imagine why...

Great dinner tonight. Some spicy Croatian chorizo brought over by my brother in his luggage, followed by a great oven cooked seabass with taters and carrots. All washed down by a nice pair of bottles of chilled white wine. got a nice buzz going now. Luggage is half packed, tomorrow I'll just put the laptop and a couple of things in after walking Costa in the morning, and hit the slow road inland.

I like his taste in ... bikes?

I like a cold coke, but have given up altogether. Unless I’m in Morocco, for some weird reason. you’re thirsty, drink water you want the coke fizz kick and throat refreshment, drink a cold beer, it’s better for you and your kidneys, plus it’s better want something sweet, drink juice want to enjoy a nice beverage, drink wine There is no excuse for coke, unless it’s Morocco or desert

Work sucks, but low clouds are always cool

I bet the Multistrada is their best selling bike, followed maybe my the Monster, but that might be in Portugal though.

Today it's a nice cool summer day here. Cool enough to walk the dog wearing jeans and not shorts, and cool enough that you need a something on top of a t-shirt at night, which is perfect. I'm doing a little work at home, going to pack my cases in the afternoon with mostly clothes but since one needs a nice shirt to go to dinner and I always end up with a lack of space, then at dinner it'll be a nice seabass with some nice white wine, and in the morning a few days of leisurely riding will start. I don't like topases on bikes, you get a lot of effect from crosswinds and it hinders you getting on and off the bike with any coolness, which is also important Also, I always go on trips with just the sidecases on narrow position, hate to have a very wide bike in the back looking like a bus. I used to tour Morocco for two weeks with my girlfriend using the same space for both of us, with plastic rain suits for both as well, she used to make that work perfectly but now I go for a few days by myself and end up with lack of space. Can't pack for shit.

American, Aerosmith? Which I don't even know if they are still together

You're talking about a brake line, can't you get it from Goodridge?

Right now

If it is anything like Portugal was during confinement, having a lot of people bored out of their minds at home looking at the "news" on tv all day, and the terrible quality of sensationalist shit that passes as tv reporting in a period when not many new things happen everyday, there's no soccer to keep the poor of spirit entertained either, it is easy for the mix of all this to be a dangerous result. Edit, did that make sense?

Two fingers on each.

"Chuis", in 80's portuguese

Jesus, and Pete says he rides in ghost towns

I don't get all this Kawasaki bashing, most Kawasaki riders I see on the road are going hell mostly on 1400 ZZR or GTRs, or the ocasional ZX10. Usually, when I see a Kawasaki on the road it's blasting past me on a motorway.

Nice area, always looks like a western setting.

I don't get what Ducati is doing to this bike. They came up with a design that worked well using classy engines that were neither too powerful or bland, and now they just launch these stupid versions trying to get to every weird niche? Or just trying to get everyone to buy them just because they're a new version of the same thing?
