All part of Pete's plan, so then he can complain about them annoying people.

Marcel isn't getting my vote, it's a vertical picture and this isn't Instagram! The helmet on the mirror isn't cool, and he seems to be taking lessons from Rich and Pete, park your bike somewhere with what looks like really nice light and scenery but then take a shit closeup picture of it, I bet some of you UKers are envious of his small plate, though! Fred's Honda isn't getting my vote this time, looks like the same old picture apparently with different filters. I have nothing against editing pictures but this one made it look shit compared to the usual luxurious green. The shadow across the road is pretty cool though. Skippy's Kawasaki is never getting my vote with a picture showing those hideous red stripes on the wheels and middle of the bike, taking an OK bike and putting that shit on screams bad taste. It was bought like that, but in that case you either don't buy it or take the stripes off. Forgetting about the stripes for a moment, though, and it's a nice enough bike on what looks like a great road, and yet the picture shows mainly a dirt lay by, really, more than 50% of that picture is where motorhomes stop to turn around or dump a body. Pete managed to take a picture of a great looking mountain road, and ........ NO TOP BOX???????? He still managed to botch the angle of the bike, bike is neither in the middle nor in the corner of the picture, the picture is showing more mountain than scenery, and to top it up, a failure by itself, half of that picture is a blanked out license plate. Having no top box show's he's taking this seriously though, but sadly trying too hard also takes away points. The KLR just looks silly to me, with all that stuff piled on it. Must have taken quite some effort to make it dig a hole though. Rich's Hayabusa did 200 miles in his possession and in that ride he managed to only be able to take a picture with glare coming off the light and helmet ... with no scenery whatsoever ... in 200 miles ... it's like he tried to make it look shit!!! It's a cool black Hayabusa so making it look sad like that takes some effort. It's a step up from all the muddy byways and alleys that he's known for, but still shit. Tango's Triumph´s picture is how you frame a bike in a scenery when you want to show the scenery in a conservative way, it's a classy picture in which the bike and the scenery help each other be more than each of those things is on their own, nice one, it should show a little less road and why cropping is a good thing, cropping all that tarmac on the bottom of the picture out would make it a lot better. I'm not voting for it because I just really like the light on Buckster's Harley so I'm voting for that even though it's next to an ugly weird sculpture, would be better with no sculpture behind it, just the open water and the pretty light.

If I ever take ride around the uk I will try to sleep on pubs, makes sense and sounds interesting too

Your leisurely half retirement sounds like you’re trying for a stewardess lifestyle

For being pervy or birdwatching?

Baggage. Warning boring- I’ve even bored myself 😂

If you put as much crap on it as on that Enfield it might struggle I think it's 60kmh on Portuguese motorways, hence the joke -

Don't be childish, I wasn't mauled. I only thought it would be an unpleasant afternoon it it happened.

I meant to write it the other way around!

Look on the bright side, they'll be less inclined to pay you back the same amount you gave for it when you're looking for a 500cc Honda.

Exactly, but you can kick a bot, unless maybe if it identifies as a dog! Read it again! British women ….

If a bot identifies as a dog, does it mean you can’t kick it?

I don’t know, Pete, I’d rather face the desert than that horrible weather, cold and rain, and muddy laybys I see on their reports!

Maybe move this to the motorcycling section to avoid getting lost in all the inane drivel? it’s a possible solution to the fuel crisis, afterall, should go and have a talk to the UN, there’s a Portuguese there that’s taken in high regards. I’ll keep adding fuel just out of respect for the owner’s manual, and every km it does without stopping only strenghthens my theory.

You know, an adventurer needs all the help when exploring the moon like he does. It’s instant death if the bike falls over! That does look handy for grocery shopping, though, I wonder if they do a longer travel version!
-
I just wondered if my bike can run forever without adding fuel. It’s done 93000km and never quit running, so there’s no proof that it in fact doesn’t work if I don’t keep adding fuel to the tank.

I just went and clicked on the laughing button again!

Would bicycles not be a less painful option for you? Or don’t they interest him? you can still chat while riding leisurely

Newsflash, brit is outraged to find out there are hills and steps after moving to what was promised to be a flat Spain! Nice looking old town!

Triumph Unveils The 10-Bike Chrome Collection
Pedro replied to Peon Maface's topic in MOTORCYCLE CHAT
I'm far from a Triumph fanboy, but there are good looking bikes there! -
Not just any Vespa, it’s got white sidewall tires, white wheels, white flames, an ugly light, and a matching white leather case, it’s the Justin Bieber edition! Really, it is!

I will admit: I have had some wine I have taken into account Saul's themed "2am creepy squint looking down at computer screen selfie while wife is asleep" and "boys choir" comment and I will now behave as I have grown and am aware that all I say is not funny the next day

You lost your mind, nobody really cares. It's got what a Honda really had, it's easy and balanced and nice.
