KTM

…Or: DIRT LEG

Calorie intake is not something I see covered in motorcycle literature, but it's deeply important. On the way to Porto, I was rapidly losing focus and had to stop. I pulled into a Repsol, and almost dumped the bike while trying to put it on the center stand. I watched a YouTube video later and realized the error; you're not trying to deadlift a 500 lb bike, you're trying to pull it backwards. Also, having cargo on the back makes it hard, so by the end of the trip I disconnected the rear case and took my bag off. After that, it was easy. The Repsol fill screen was completely different from Shell, and I ended up under-fueling the bike. Whatever! I pulled around to the cafe side and had a ham and cheese panini, an apple, and an espresso. My wife was texting me about some bullshit as to who was paying the cleaning people while I was gone. It took all of my energy in that moment to not PER MY EMAIL her, so I just stuck to the facts. Yes, I already paid you. No, I didn't know they had increased the price or err I didn't remember. Have a nice day, here's a photo of the bike on the side of the road. It was a total hangry moment and I’m not proud of it.
