Pedro Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Met my good friend Paulo for a ride, today. Took almost no photos, and ended up spending almost more time catching up over lunch and coffee than actually riding, still had a nice ride over some good twisty roads more suited to my bike than to his, I think overall we must have done around 150km or something like that. Today was the first outumn weather day, with about 10ºC and fog high on the hills, made me appreciate lunch even more. Good stuff, catching up with friends, we had a lot to talk about. Paulo showing up: My lunch, not including the salad as to prevent you from seeing healthy stuff After lunch stop to see the views, including recent fire damage. There is no way that would catch fire unless under criminal hand, that really pisses me off. Heading back home and it was drizzling, made me appreciate a warm shower before going out to buy my mum some flowers for her birthday. Tonight, will be having a glass of red wine to match the weather and watching my favourite race, the Nurburgring 24H on it's youtube live transmission. Give it a look if you like proper driving on the world's greatest track, as good as cars on track can get: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, his is an early one, I just looked it up: Dry weight:176.9 kg (390.0 pounds) Weight incl. oil, gas, etc:199.1 kg (439.0 pounds) However, Paulo tells me that just sitting on an 1200 RNineT, which is at least 20kg heavier, feels lighter. The boxer engine is great for low speed handling, you should try and move a modern 1200GS around. We had two or three days of heavy rain a week ago, plus today, I'm getting fed up with this water falling from the sky as it's messing up my biking style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
