Life happened, since we last met I dropped a few kgs, then gained a lot again with good living, and a few more on top of those from bad habits after Maria passed, and then started to drop a few kgs again and managed to loose about 11 or 12kg since September. Now, after about a month at home drinking wine after dinner, who knows ...

Hair is long gone, Pete. This is me these days ...

LOL, I was asking what year was the Sportster on Tym's picture. But that video of the old school chopper kicking RR ass is still awesome ?
-
I'm feeling blue and nostalgic, It was bought as a replacement for my very unreliable but comfy R1150GS for two up touring on rough roads, and for that it is the best. Nowadays, I like it's balance, torque, etc, but I love it for the memories ...

@Tym, love that! What year was it?
-
Good stuff, Pete.
-
Sure will, Pete. Count on it.
-
Maybe it was just the colour being less funky than the previous bike, it affects personality too.

I know, Pete. Myself, I was looking forward to two or three big rides this year: June, warm souther Portugal ride to the Algarve for a week on the beach for my birthday. August, maybe Algarve, maybe south of Spain. I've got a friend in Murcia who promised a good paella and a couple e great local tapas when I visit. Late September / Early October, Morocco, I've been gathering courage to go back but am unsure if this is the year I'll be able to go. Renewing my passport anyway.

Everyone here is anticipating if the government is going to lift a few of the restraints on the weekend. Things is, we've avoided the great mortality hit Spain has taken but as such have yet to get a drop in mortality as it seems that by avoiding quick high mortality you're just spreading the same amount of butter on a bigger slice of bread. I am about to go insane, and go out and start kissing random people on the street.

That’s the kind of off-roading I enjoy on the GS, Pete. Nice and easy, and hardly gets your bike dirty.
-
Those are great roads, that you enjoy mostly sticking to lower speeds and just cruising along. Seemed that one of my favorite things to eat in Norway and Sweden are those petrol station hotdogs wrapped in bacon. Tastier the further north you go, but then again it could be that you appreciate them more when it gets cold ?
-
Going 10 meters to the side of the road doesn't count as off road, Pete. Bob, considering the weather, I would rather have my car's heated seats, or even better, a fire and a glass of red wine.

Always sad to hear.

Humanity's doomed. We need to cure cancer to make up for that shit once judgement is upon us. Edit: I hope that doesn't taint my youtube suggestion algorithm

Cute guy!

I´ve ridden this bike, it´s Pedro aproved!

I love the looks of the front twin round lights in these Triumphs, don't care much for the short rear end though. Can be applied to other possessions that other people value more than motorcycles, but working to save money, to buy a brand new bike, starting to bond with it, and then having it stolen is really tough.
-
I remembered you sounding different, sounds like you're the voice over on a wildlife tv show. My brit friends used to tell me I sound like Borat speaking english.
-
Isn’t there a bike shop that’s motocross or oldschool oriented near by, that’s what you want to have it running like new.
-
This will seem condescending, but it's not supposed to be. Do you know how to tune a carb? Might be useful to look at a simple step by step guide and start from zero.
-
Close your eyes as you blow, it's not rocket science. This advice will clearly be taken out of context
-
That's great. What a nice idea and gesture.
-
Sofia isn't getting the jokes, Bruce, she doesn't know XTreme (or Pete) is very much into keeping his bikes very clean. Her Triumph is often filthy.
-
Do you go out just for the ride, then? Cause surely you're not setting up a picnic in some beach on that weather?
