Someone who needs a warmer jacket and heated grips, surely

Transalp, magic bike, that’s what you need, how much are they over there?

Maybe he really meant Bud Ekins, as a jumper of fences?

He meant Steve McQueen really, but Mushman is a good reference

That’s how you end up doing stuff by yourself again

That just doesn’t do, I get anxious and fuel up my bike when it gets to less than 60 miles

The 916 flattered paintworks, including the Senna which pushed the boundaries as to what that bike managed to make look ok.

It looks like they outsourced Suzuki for input on that paint scheme.

They look cool, looking forward to the Triumph experience. Take it touring?

Oh for sure! It makes them torquey but also feel and sound like a V-Twin, gives them character. I'm pretty sure my bike´s main flaw is not having 270º anywhere. No twin is worth buying without a 270º.

He wrote it like he saw you riding, he indeed is a cheeky twat. Chapman is a cool name, too!

Who knows, there's 6 months of possibilities next. Screw big views, mountains and deserts, shitty is the new epic!

For July, I'll try to take a picture in front of a Lidl or an alley with dumpsters on it.

By primary does it mean it's between the engine and gearbox?

Took this picture specifically for you special people. Bike is taking up most of the space, there's no scenic background either, hope you like it!

I know the Nurburgring properly, in a slow car. The level of track knowledge it takes to do those speeds with the control they process on such a long and varied track is nothing but awesome. It takes repetition and obsessive learning, it obviously takes balls but from the brain it’s a lot more training and learning than being mental.

The guy was moving!

Belts are quite a nice solution for motorcycles that don’t face offroad or very powerful engines.

It’s good for 100k miles, I think, doesn’t get a lot better than that. edit: looked it up, it’s 100k kms, not bad either.

The swimming pool guys are probably happy that you’re restricted to 180 days, though.

Saw one of these FTRs riding through my village yesterday, and decided to see their specs and prices. The “scrambler” version has only 150mm travel in the front, which doesn’t excite me much, but the worse is a 13 litre tank. What kind of pussy thing to do is putting a 13 litre tank in a 1200 twin?

Isn’t it tiny for you?

Looks bigger and heavier in person than on pictures, to me.

Cool bike, have you ridden it?
