Pedro

It was a great picture, yours!

Yes, Peter

Picked the seeds off the ground in Morocco October 2017, germination was october or november 2017, brought it here to the south October 2020, first flowers today. It’s still tiny though, a very slow growing tree.

Big update, first time the tiny tree has flowers!

Taste crime!

Except the topcase!

It’s an old bike needing an oil seal that should have been changed by now anyway, no big deal. Not bike of the month materail with that topcase either Pete, I think you’re getting wind up votes!

Absolutely the way to go, maybe difficult to build a 6 gear box that can handle the torque of a fast electric engine but a 4 speed will make it feel like a motorcycle.

No it doesn't, no gearbox limits electrics, put two gears in like Rimac did with a sportscar and suddenly they can apply their torque at a higher speed and no longer be limited to 112mph. Also, it'll feel more like a motorcycle to ride, which can only be good. Bike looks good though, and 240 miles is a great range for a bike you won't take on proper trips but stick to commuting and day trips, I don't believe the 240 miles number in real like conditions though.

Welcome @Marcel!

I got no idea what this is, apology accepted?

mine, amongst the Douro vines

Way better!

On a parking lane next to a wire fence?

It's going to feel slow as hell after both your current bikes, though.

And it’s not like they can’t make s nice looking bike, the TRX850 was a nice copy of Sarron’s 500

It is ugly though, looks like a distorted picture of a normal naked bike!

Here I fit mine at a proper tire place that I've used for cars and bikes since forever, and comes up to slightly more expensive than online prices, like 10 or 20€ per tire but that includes the full work, balancing, and valves. Similar prices in some BMW or Honda dealerships, too, about 10 or 20€ more expensive than the shop I use.

Is the price of a tire that much different if you order one online and then pay to have it fitted, compared to buying a tire at a proper tire shop and have them fit it?

Haven’t sat at a desk since covid started, happy enough that way. I have plans for a home office though, but don’t really know what for

No worries, will try and post a ride report with some location names so you can check on google maps.

I’m in the deep north of Portugal right now, will post a few google links for you next week. Today’s stop

How long do you plan on being in Portugal, then?

This is a pretty bike and I like it. Don't think I'm suited to a sports bike and the way they do corners, but I like this. 170hp also would mean my license would be gone in 2 weeks

There’s plenty of space, I took the photo from where people usually walk.
