A belated happy birthday to the fantastic Christy Moore.
As relevant as ever it was.

We have advance copies!

The actual book will be hardcover of course, and it will also have quite a few fixed typos 😎

Sad end to a great weekend. After an 1100+ km round-trip and a day spent at an ADAC training course with other RT riders, a car made a sudden u-turn in front of me, less than 10 minutes from home.
5 days in the ICU with broken ribs and a punctured lung.
Damage to RT: 17k Euros, insurance write-off.

3°C and foggy. Time for a 500km ride across Germany.

Halle/Saale, 2nd of March, 2017.
Looking roughly west as the sun rises and illuminates the city. Right of centre are the double pairs of towers of the Marienkirche and the Red Tower on the market square. To the left, the new town area beyond the river.

Using my unerring sense of judgement for the weather, I chose to go out this morning on the two-wheeler that doesn't have foglights.

Spent the morning fitting front foglights to the R1200RT. Can you see me coming now?

Off to Bernburg in the fog for some extreme piano this evening.

The fog has lifted after 2 days and the sun is shining here.

30 year-old photo, 50 year-old bike. My T150V somewhere in Delamere Forest.

I feel as though it’s a New Year, but it’s not…

Anyway, here’s your daily reminder of how it could have been…

So: @werder.de left X because “with the recent radicalisation of the platform, a line had been crossed for the club” and - as football teams do - they need to build a following elsewhere. May I suggest we spread the word and maybe give them some sort of hug?
