Played around with the automated AI-functions of my #Insta360X4 and must say- I really like it. Not perfect, but way better than spending hours with video software.

Tried to make the best of an early Oct day but I failed: a freezy morning ride with lots of construction sides + closed roads and a full roads in the afternoon. Not really joyful. Hope Oct will bring sone better rides. Well, not every day could be a sundayโ€ฆ. #motosky #MotoGuzzi #AutumnRide #Grumpy

Be an adult: Accept that you cannot own every bike you like. ๐Ÿ˜ตBut dreaming of it is allowed.

Comments like this are probably why they call me a "dream killer" in my family... Sorry about that.

Nothing bad about Lounge Chairs from Nippon. If you have reached (like both of us) a certain age, comfortable riding is key. And the availability of service points is way better. Even in Italy itโ€™s a thing to find MG mechanics if you need them. Happy rides!

Yours is also a beauty and definitely more comfortable than mine - touring must be pure joy. Even if I decided not to have a windshield, I am jealous every time I find myself on the highway for more than 5 miles...

Als Recruiter kann ich dir sagen, dass sind hรถchst selten die Schuldigen. Die mรผssen halt oft den Mist kommunizieren (oder decken). Das Problem sitzt meist woanders. #DontShootTheMessenger

What are 1200km? ๐Ÿ˜‰

No, I am totally with you: bridging the boring highway distances until you reach the tours you really want to make is the worst thing. If someone has an idea how to solve this issue - canโ€™t wait to hear about it.

Thx but not even close to the real beauty. Yes, honestly, I feel blessed to have these landscapes around the corner.

Throwback to my youth: Opel Manta + Ascona. Even as a son of an Opel Dealer, I had to buy my 1st car from my hard-earned money: Ascona B Sport (1.3l engine/4 gears), named it "Rรผdiger" + drove it proudly for years. When I handed it to my younger bro to get the new Calibra it survived less than 12 h.

News of the day: Back in the saddle - no pain, no๐Ÿฉธ!!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜…

Had a wonderful afternoon ride in Basellandschaft. Even after years I am exploring backroads I havenโ€™t noticed before. Feels like Teletubbie-Land - so lovely + peaceful. Some fellow bikers on the road but all relaxed. Enjoyed every second.

Probably, but as a elderly rider I like the display. Even if I prefer a minimalistic lifestyle in every aspect of my life I enjoy the big display while touring bc sometimes navigation is not so smart + clear and then a map is helpful. Experienced this quite often. And no, map on tank is no option.๐Ÿ˜‚

Currently not a big fan of my #MiniRoadsterJCW. Shortly after replacing the clutch for a bunch of ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต, the car informed me that the brakes are doneโ€ฆ. Only 65K km on the odometer. Frustrating.

I am seriously thinking about selling it.
