Pedro

He’s a delicate flower, fast but the slightest breeze and he’ll fold.

I understand why

Is TOTY an accolade?

I see this as a marathon campaign, and to me he can’t sway it on a single move. Others have been making an effort all year long, that dedication and authenticity deserves a “reward”

I’ll vote now just in case I forget later, but might change if it tips the scale onto one of my two favourite candidates. It feels like rigging a foreign election

@Saul, I once saw two men being mugged out of their burgerking bag by one seagull, they put the bag on top of the car long enough to open doors and take jackets off and the bird descended upon them, scared them with squawking and wing flapping, and took the burgers away. I laughed fromthe comfort of my closed car while it happened

@skyridergets two gifts, chips for him and a nice blanket for the elusive Serow

Better still, Complete with dedicated driver like the happy guy in the picture, so she doesn’t have to deal with the inferior oily latins.

I guess Miguel Oliveira is now the would be champion that never was?

There’s another:

Decorated a cake today!

I rode in two Dacia taxis in Morocco, 1.5 diesels with huge milleage, they were holding on ok.

Think they might be preparing for the post xmas discounts?

So instead of Saturn Power they talked to their marketing people and came up with Benda

They’re reputedly great lovers though

The costs of maintaining one of those are horrendous, good wines, food, rum, bmw motorcycles and travelling, plus they’re not the biggest fans of hard work. Trust me, they’re expensive to keep.

Don’t know which chip it is. Nowhere near 10 hours battery though, not anymore. The temperature extremes it’s been through have probably something to do with that. It’s on its second battery as well. I love it and will have another after it’s gone.

Bloody cold outside, after taking the dogs out now with my whoolen socks, my whoolen blanket and my rum sitting down for a movie

You hurt my heart from far away, Clive. Fucks sake, change the chanel and watch Die Hard or some other Christmas thing.

All I can say about macs is that my MacBook Air has been wedged on my sidecases for most of 50000km or more around Portugal and Morocco and does ok with that. Battery life isn’t the best as isn’t the wifi connection management but can’t ask more from it. I am not an IT guy, I want it to send emails and open the daily spreadsheet but if it dies midtrip that would be my business stopped.

It wants to be an oldschool CL, and fails because it’s not skinny and Honda isn’t Triumph when designing retro bikes.

I get it, but if they’re looking for long term sales they should comply with demands. BMW sure as shit would have a good warranty unless mandated.

Single most important reason seconded to how good the bikes are for their success in Portugal, is the bmw bank and the conditions to buy one on payments. I’m not one to do that on a bike but on the same monthly instalment you get on a cb750x you get an r1250gs, with full company car deductions!

For Clive: The man spends a long long long… long time planning an escape
