Last Saturday of the summer, big cruise night locally, lots of motorcycles about, loverly temps, not hot not cold not to humid not to dry

Here is the thread for submission of your pictures for Bike Of the Month September, on the 25th I'll start a poll for voting. @XTreme, sticky thread? This time I think we're better not having two votes, it never occurred to me that there would be no way of settling a possible tie , what do you guys think? Also, no tractors, cars, lawnmowers, washing machines, sowing machines, trikes, quads, buses, boats, and other vehicles other than motorcycles will be accepted, but nothing stops you from submitting pictures though, tractors are particularly popular

I had one and loved it. Solid bike and capable as a distance tool or thrashing around the Derbyshire trails.

Passing porsches never gets old.

This is my entry so far, the mighty GS, freshly washed visiting Lisbon in front of a wall of superheros

You're trying to deny the hard truth, that you're made for the Strom

This is how they weigh in....kgs and lbs: Strom 220/485 G650GS 190/425 CRF250L 145/320

I think they were never sold here. But we had street legal XR600R and the NX650, maybe Honda thought the L would be too much of an effort for a small gain.

I really want to try the XR650L i really want one but a test ride would to put it to rest either way for me.

No.......same as DR650.....not available here due to emissions. As is the case with the UK. If I could get a new DR650 I'd get one tomorrow......no hesitation.

I meant having only one vote, meaning no primary vote and then the second one like last month.

Done! And I agree one member/one submission is the only way to do it to level the playing field! Otherwise the odds are always stacked against the one bike people!

Took a short run to Orce cos I had to see somebody there......and what do you know? A bunch of Moto Club Fuckwits sitting around doing fuck all when they could be riding. It was the usual entourage of Beemers, along with a Triumph and a couple of Harleys! And as per usual, 1970's Brit Greasers in worn out jackets and ripped jeans riding Parts Bin Specials get blanked! Suits me just fine......I've spent my life not wanting to belong. I leave such desires to my old toothless mate! A short vid first...... Billy No Mates Strom being ostracised........ Weapons of choice for Moto Club Fuckwits....... Most of them looked too old and too short for their bikes.......so I had the Camera ready just in case of mishaps! And for some strange reason today I felt in sync again with the Strom again. Weird!

Wouldn’t you be tempted with the faired 250? Probably a lot better for tarmac, and you’re not likely to take it on mud.

Damn had too much fun to take photos ?

ohhh, that is tempting....not as cute as the Honda, but maybe that's a good thing. ? Still, to be able to trade in the Strom for what you paid, nice. I don't really know you, but the GS seems more your style. How much lighter is it though? That Honda is easy to move around I bet.

Well you know...I was lucky and found love when I was young and it just worked from day one! I'm not a spring chicken or an old hen, just one of those middle aged chickens that has lots of fun.... ??

But there's another sting in the tail! The dealer in Granada that I spoke to about the G650GS mailed me earlier to tell me it had gone! BUT.......he's got another 2015 one in........with even LESS miles (11K). And the condition looks even better than the first which was pretty impressive! The deal would be the Strom plus €1500........and the Beemer comes with a year's warranty. It's very tempting!

I'm not likely to even find mud Pedro......we've had many years of dry Winters and the reservoirs are now at their lowest points ever.
