Bilbao in June. Man shaking an umbrella.

Left record breaking sunshine in Ireland for a quick trip to Bilbao. Still though, what a city.

Have a look at the Heinkel Tourist. The original continent cruiser in the form of a scooter.

Moto Guzzi V85TT in the Nire Valley.

Sun is shining. Where else would you be. In 2024 Ireland's summer was on a Tuesday. This year its a bit early and falls on a Saturday. Best to make the most of it. In the beautiful Nire Valley.

Fascinating that it's still possible to breathe when you're this far up someone's colon.

The dog went out and came back looking like this. Someone is taking the piss. Not happy.

Not the worst analysis I've heard from a conservative commentator on our "western" culture. I would really like to see some other perspectives from the non-anglophone world.

Like I stole them.

Moto Guzzi and BMW motorcycles

On the first weekend of spring the Lord said let there be light. And woopdedoo! Sun is shining and they are both screaming to go. But you only have one backside. What to do?

It was an ambush, instigated by Vance, orchestrated by God knows who. They teed him up with the comment about his attire, got him rattled and then Trump piled on. He seemed as surprised as anyone at first. Didn't take him long to start swinging though. And he probably forgot it happened already.

Unsettling but very real.

Image of Musk post on Twitter illustrating that he clearly does not understand irony. Or read details.

Getting huge amounts of el presidente spam over in the other place. Cannot tell if this is irony, illiteracy, or he's just dumb as a rock. Well, actually when I think about it, he is just unleashing his inner bumhole.

I'm going to bank this one for future use. Thanks.

As an Irish man it galls me to see how many people with Irish names are in the Trump camp. The other side isn't much better. A plague on both their houses.

And those arguments have been exposed as nonsense. In choosing Trump and in what he is actually doing, America has been exposed as a global force which has the strength of a giant but the intellect and empathy of a toddler.

The Germans are out for some rare winter sunshine and fresh air. (Trying hard to resist saying something about Germans and pools)

@nomadmatt.bsky.social You should enjoy this.

Last week Trump announced $500bn investment in infrastructure to put America front and centre in AI technology.

This week a Chinese company releases DeepSeek R1, an AI side project that rivals OpenAI and the tech companies are shitting the bed.

I give you DeepSeek R1.

Ya can hire yerself out to keep trampolines from blowing into the neighbours gardens. Could be onto something here. I bagsy the southeast.

Ballast is highly underrated.

Might be dumb question but joining a library gives you online access to loads of magazine content. Does it include these pay walled sites?

I can foresee a time when America's isolation will not just be self imposed, but a consequence of the rest of the world turning their back as the centre of interest and commerce moves east, leaving the WASP hegemony to its death rattle.

There is literally no good reason for any motorcycle to be that big and heavy. Just imagine trying to pick it up if it goes over. BUT buying a bike has nothing to do with logic, has it? If it feels right and you have to have it it's the right bike.

#StormÉowyn is set to hit the west coast of Ireland an almighty and merciless haymaker in the early hours of Friday. This is going to be memorable, for all the wrong reasons. So glad to be missing the worst in the southeast, but really concerned about the impact it will have all across the country.

Screenshot from Trump

There he is. Can't help himself. If people just keep challenging him in public he will spend so much time brooding and trying to think of ways to torture them that he won't have any time left to do other stuff.

Heinkel Tourist Scooter

The weather is still a bit moody for biking but a little spin on the flying piglet blows off the cobwebs. My chances of outrunning that rain behind me are.......well let's just say I'm getting wet.
