It’s about what you get for your money at point-of-purchase and the Bonelli is far better value than the Honda. Now I agree, secondhand resale value is a different matter, but I’ve never bought a bike with resale value in mind. I bet you have cheap enough to buy a used one to ride to spain ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Perfect sunny day today, 300km in summer jacket and tshirt underneath, not too hot not too cold. Phone was going off with emails and a few calls so stopped to sort all that while having an espresso. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Recently found that one of my relatives was a pilot in the Second World War and he was training to fly Lancaster Bombers when he crashed on a training exercise in the north of England. He’s buried in a cemetery near to where I grew up so I went along yesterday to see it and pay my respects. From the RAF records it looks like he made a common mistake as he pulled the flaps lever instead of under carriage lever which caused the crash. The whole crew died when the plane crashed near Doncaster at Kilham Farm. The records imply that one died instantaneously but the rest, including my relative, died the next day. What a waste. Seven lives gone by a simple error of judgement. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Stopped for a snack, it is lovely and warm, but the sea looks like it’s bringing weather in, all over the coast there are thousands of seagulls sitting on the sand looking at it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not much, enough for a good flavour for a basic garlic and chilly pasta without me regretting life afterwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzak Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Here's a small gallery for you. Pepe in orange, my unwatered grapevine (it's right at the back door and the sugar attracts flies) my new cat Adolf who just moved in one day, kind of a furry blitzkreig and one of my rose bushes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
