Liverpool are like one of them fireworks you pay £80 for! You light it with so much expectation, it launches magnificently … and you never see it again 🧨

There’s a lot of elephants in the room … French ones, Egyptian ones, German ones and dare I say it, even a scouse one 👀 #lfc

Before I get into match day mood, a quick catch up. Summer has defo finished and the rain has arrived = less riding and messy dogs. On an errand in town yesterday though, rain doesn’t stop the rally Legends doing their thing !

Can only get 2 metres of firewood at a time if the Himi wants to retain her parking slot 🤣 #motosky

LFC crap, ref crap, Gala crap … but Gala had a game plan (as shit as it was) and it won through. Waste of a European night. Next !

So the second part of the N108/N222 tour in Northern Portugal took us from Vila Nova da Foz Coa back to Porto with some epic ‘B road’ detours on the way ! #motosky NB please excuse the ‘matchy, Matchy’ shirts 😆

Yesterday, gave big Phil a tour up the N108 from Porto (stopping in Gondomar to pay our respects to Diogo and Andre 🙏🏻) ending in Vila Nova de Foz Coa … today we head back via the N222 and the Portal do Inferno em Arouca !

Little ride out to the highest point in Portugal yesterday with George the pillion and Lee on his NC750 DCT ! Epic ! #motosky

The objective was to win … we won 💪🏻 #lfc

So yesterday, I had a pillion so didn’t get my weekend fix on the Himi … so … I went to see where Wellington helped the Portuguese kick the French out of Central PT and then thought a little Atlantic paddle might be nice with a smidge of off-roading (with hard luggage 😬) #motosky

Definitely cooled off in the forest … morning dog walks are hopefully less sweaty for the next few months !

A mate had his first ride out on his new Honda NC750 DCT today … lovely green colour - he was chuffed to bits ! That my Himi450 in the background being used as a clothes horse 😂 #motosky

A little Sunday blast out to my local mountain, Caramulinho, Portugal. It’s 10m shy of Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Wales. You can ride through spectacular scenery and twisties to just below the summit. The last 100m you can do on foot … but not today as it’s 30° 🥵 #motosky

As an LFC fan living in Portugal this hits home. So tragic, RIP Jota. I feel for the family and football takes a back seat at times like this 😢 Genuinely shook and sad.

Nice and warm in central Portugal but swimming is prohibited 🚫… shame !

Been a funny old day … went out on the bike (post work) but neck glands are up and feeling a bit off … coordination is off. So went home and took photos of stray cats that have moved into the outhouse.
