A casual weekend for me, not much planned. Went out yesterday and found some new side streets to explore. We had a big wind storm the night before so the roads were covered in tree droppings.....very slippery. ? Then today went out for a rainy ride and found a new beach access spot. So nice in the rain, nobody around, just some weirdo in motorcycle gear on the beach...?

Oh, so nice to have a welcome thread... ? I'm just here to mess with Pedro. ?

Had the 850GSA as a loan bike earlier today. Sweet. That's Tewksbury on the River Severn.

Track day in the Mojave - Streets of Willow. Motorcycles keep you young!!

The only thing worse is a ride to here. My pic for the day.

Hope to get out later to see what Saturday night looks like, got to be less boring than the weekdays...

Most of the best words do!

Goes with the territory, Advernture riders are always heavier and are also theoretically more offroad capable. Extra padding prevents rib contusions i hear i wouldnt know this still hurts btw i cant believe i dint break anything. Now to the dictionary to look up compassion.

I won't be using the Strom for the next 2 weekends.........as it's going in for part ex and I don't want to tempt fate. However, on Sunday I will finally be tracking down that abandoned village in the Sierra de Segura that I've mentioned before. I can't use the Strom, plus the wife wants to see this place.....so it'll be a Drive Report...... ......in a French car! You don't get shit like this on ButtRider! Tell 'em @Tym

Pete, sounds to me that the CRF is the way to go for your biking needs. A mate of mine has one here and another mate has one in the UK. They are as capable as you’ll need off road and the bloke in the UK did a weeks road trip with a collection of 600cc dirt bikes and wasn’t embarrassed. Great bikes. You could always push the boat out and go for the Rally version?

A rainy ride?

The only one you know so far is Sofia, give him time ...

Jesus, my Tenere is 205kg fully fuelled.

Hello, if you're a mate of Pedro's you can't be all that bad ?

Some good one's this month.

Awesome.

I know......that was the domain I initially searched for. But when you go for www.darkmotorcycling.com it goes here!

Some pretty cool pics in this months race.

My vote is done........so get yours in now!

Couldn't get out today due to work. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

She poses for pics nice, its like Serbian girls were made to be models. Added a soft cooler to hold lunch.

That's heavier than my CB1000 and they called that Project big 1

Double checked the weights and they’re both 244kg wet. My last was 238kg.

I think that sympathy sits between shit and syphilis.

I’ve just had a look and it’s the same weight as mine ffs!

It didn’t feel a lot lighter but probably moved around more in the wind. Conventional suspension so dived a bit on braking and I found that I had to mess with the suspension setting as whoever had it before me must have had a worse back than me - very soft setup causing it to wallow like an overloaded ship. Ergonomically very similar to mine although I fancied that the handlebars were a tad narrower. I liked it, but prefer mine, especially now that I’ve got a different seat.

That really is outstanding!

Great photo! ?

I've been trying to find some 'dark side' places around here but they're usually occupied by 'strange' dudes so I think i'll just go for a trail ride.

The mighty Triumph on top of yet another mountain! thanks to @Pedro for artistic direction!

Since tomorrow is Saturday, I'll postpone the vote start until sunday, so that people can get a chance for an extra ride with possibly a couple more entries. I'm just trying to get a video of @Tym riding that thing waving to his mother

I think that Tym's moped should be allowed Pedro......because he's obviously riding it. And it'll probably get more votes than his KLR!

Filled it with gas and oil, made sure all the wiring was plugged in properly, it wasnt, she started right up, sounds just like the motor in Losenuts to be honest. ... i just rode by my house with my mum watching...better cred then a pic! Pics coming i have to taunt my oldest brother he thought it was fucked. Got the whole weekend for ride reports

Tomorrow I shall be taking a little ride around, going to do a 150 or so km loop around some twisties and mountain roads, nice and shortish back by mid afternoon kind of thing. Might be joined by a friend on his 800R, but still unsure. It's going to be the return of my winter jacket, as the temperatures are not really over 20ºC.

My oldest brother dropped it off, its mine now...if i can fix it i;ll get to ride it.
