Tomorrow morning I ride off cross Northern Portugal, heading into Spain heading into Ireland. Here, I am looking at 40ºC, obviously hot and very dry, will probably be very warm coming back as well. In Ireland, South and South East, I will probably be in very wet conditions and not very warm, I might not be against it if the friends I'm visiting decide to stick to the inside of a pub. I just unpacked my bags to pack everything again later, what works here doesn't work there so I might break my rule abut luggage and bring an extra bag with proper touring boots and pants, plus visor with pinlock, to wear overseas instead of having to do rain over pants and over boots. I hate an extra bag to carry around but it might be worth it. Also maybe space to bring back a souvenir with the extra bag.

That’s a Jimmy Hoffa, they both vanish but it’s different

He had one thread worth posting, he deleted it, he might be trying to do a Keyzer Soze

Here was me wondering what I had done by mistake, when all along the mistake was someone allowing Marcel near the internet.

Look at her, hasn’t been started or moved in weeks but ready to go on friday! It’ll be a full day of small roads on a heat wave, to have dinner by the border before going to Bilbao.

Try rotating them a little forward or up, I am aware they’re pretty flat but it’ll still make them a little taller and make the bike feel more offroad and lively. Might not suit a 160hp bike, but the advice is worth what you paid for it

Not too bad when you get wet if the destination is home and doesn’t take long to get there. I’m glad you’re out on the bike!

I loved my R1150GS, that Guzzi probably feels like a smaller version one of that, which can only be a good thing. I’m curious to try one out, as a non offroad pretentious machine, just a nice bike. The other day I was looking at a Mandello up close and it is a good looking bike as well, maybe Guzzi is worth a consideration.

When will you take the s1000r for a proper ride, @Nute? It’s a nice engine, but some say it’s a bit vibey.

Between who??

I rode one a while ago, I loved it, felt very aggressive and intense regardless of not being too powerful. Overall, too intense, too thirsty, expensive for what it was on paper, but it did feel special.

That does look pretty insane.

That’s better, more forest and less of the no lean barge

That’s not a ticket? whenever I get one of those it involves paying money and loosing points.

I have no submission for this month. I just didn’t feel like riding to places with all the heat.
