Default A Monk's trunk

So I wanted to weight balance my 991. I do realize I prefer the factory balance, but I enjoy the adjustment process.

I put some weight in the trunk in a box, I will be adjusting it over time.

Too much front bias. Come over to my place and I'll help you adjust it.

Your taste in beer is as exquisite as in cars.
Approuveé.

Always welcome in NC ;-) But be quick, can't stand that front bias for long!

I do love the Curieux. One of the few American Beers I would import to Belgium.

I should consider myself lucky then I live in the country that produces all these wonderfull beers ?
But I don't drink all that much alcohol. So I'm more attracted to the alternative lady option mentioned by trysixty

I am from Belgium, but live in the U.S. Why choose between both trunk options?

Nice. Those crazy monks know how to brew. Rochefort is among my favorites.

I visited Belgium last fall. The variety of beer, Trappist and otherwise, is staggering.

Rochefort is awesome, but the top Trappist is Westvleteren. It has been available in the states once. Even when living in Belgium, I used to drive up to the monastery to get in line and buy a case. I even did a Trappist Route (3 days) on a BMW K75RT. Hit all trappist breweries and had a blast!

Drinking a Triple Karmeliet tonight, so the front bias should be somewhat less tomorrow.

And just got the 'Spencer" the only American official "trappist" beer in my fridge.

You got a point. If you drink lots of trappist, EVERY girl looks like a gorgeous model ! Just make sure you have left before you sober up ;-)

Sometimes when I'm out driving in the Ardennes, I drive past the Val Dieu abbey to pick up some bottles for my father in law.
Myself, when I do have a beer on occasion, I prefer Kriek beers. Lindemans Kriek is my favorite, but I also enjoy Boon Kriek ...

I can see the need for some 'release' in this case...
