May 14th, 2025 · No Comments

Yes Progressive Rock is even better than a carrot and some say its effects are similar to eating two garlic tooths a day, without the social problems that sometimes accompany garlic eating . I never felt the need to spread cold butter, or any genre of music, but I feel that classic progressive rock can […]

BMW GS 1250 review

November 3rd, 2019 · No Comments

Just spent an hour test riding the GS1250. That is one awesome motorcycle and a fine machine :). Surprisingly the bike didn’t feel heavier than my Wee (Suzuki Vstrom 650, 2014), and it even felt more agile and not less maneuverable, even in traffic. Could be due to the low center of gravity and the […]

October 3rd, 2016 · No Comments
