Pedro

Some rapper stole my name though

WTF! That’s not cool, there’s a poor old XTreme that doesn’t register here because someone uses his name So turns out everyone has been using fake names, I feel like I don’t know anyone anymore. I’m Pedro in real life, but you can call me Batman on here if you want.

I highly prefer Catherine to him. Did he change his name because he wanted to be a real Jones?

Not anymore, it’s been replaced… with a Taiwanese bike.

What happened with Horace?

Well, there only one significant Tom Jones. Both of you being Jones …

Will order a rocky creek one later today. Should be smaller than all the others which is a bonus. Then find a nice tight bag for it, put it in my right side case and hopefully never look at it again.

You didn’t know Tom Jones back then in Wales?

They make the trials bikes in Spain though. I was going to comment but didn’t want to sound pedantic

Country road and touring, 400 miles

In Portugal they go along with a friendly vibe to the public, maybe they’re good people in their own circles but their business is mostly criminal, involved in extortion, racketeering and drugs. A couple of years ago there was a joined operation by Portugal’s PJ and Europol to move in on the Portuguese Hells Angels, they were accused of extreme violence to enforce their extortion activity. Within hours a few were scattered around Europe and picked up all around, mostly Germany (oldest non US chapter). Edit: trial was of 20 or 40 guys, none of them said a single word, and a couple of judges resigned from the case. Nice guys

Why not an X, though? A lot more in common with the Himalayan

Hanging out with Ericeira’s top vet!

Your loss

I was honestly a little sad for losing that considering the whole trip in which it was shot, but am over it and it’s all good. People chose the other bike so keep that.

My mate has gotten a new one. He’s a very inexperienced and timid rider so is relearning motorcycle riding. His shows 2.9lt/100km. Granted it’ll go up when ridden properly but it’s impressive!

In Spanish, cojones are testicles, but cajones are the drawers in furniture, general wooden boxes, and coffins!

I have one too, did try one of the bottles the other day and they worked ok, i think using two or three I could have pressure to ride. But still would rather have a pump for peace of mind.

Sherco builds some bikes in Spain, the trials ones. Ossa and Bultaco are very cool old brands. Montesa is Honda’s trials manufacturer, proper bikes! Gas Gas was completely independent up until a few years ago, also proper bikes.

That’ll be your english hells angels

People who buy them race them. It’s a 70hp 450cc that lasts two Dakars before a rebuild, all that suspension, and probably assembled by hand in low numbers. It’s not difficult to see where the money goes.

A kTM Rally is 30 or 35000€. I’m honestly curious to see an honest comparison.

Looks proper! Last thing I one needs is the desert all full of competent bikes riding around
