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

Nice that you're having fun with the bigger bike. The original screen looks shorter and way better: The original seat also looks a lot cushier.

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

You know summer is arriving in my parents’ town when this guy comes back from France to his hometown for a few weeks and parks his bike every morning by a café for breakfast

Look like kitchen cabinet handles to me, Ikea?

Does 4% older count for liking older women? At 77, I'm sure he likes anyone that calls him a "boy"

Love the wheels!

You're such a troll https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/honda_crf 1000l africa twin 16.htm

Woke up to a thunderstorm and high winds and rain, braved some rain to go to my mechanic and change oils, there I saw an old Kawasaki and a pretty red bike. I like that Ducati, too , it's a 999S. It turned supper sunny and hot by end of morning, so rode home slowly with my helmet open through some lovely Porto streets, felt like having a nice snack somewhere but the place was crowded with tourists on terraces and I decided to skip catching covid and went home instead. Now with a bit of bother from my allergic sinus, so will stay cool and fresh inside until Costa wakes up and starts behind to go chase some bitches

Yes, also on top of the box, but 15cm to the middle instead of near the edge ...

The video I made previously using my own luggage wasn't clear enough ...

Looks great!

Damn right, not much altitude by the beach, is there?

Took your wife to make you buy a proper bike! Might not be as comfy for the passenger as the 1150, though, the 1150's passenger seat is like a big sofa! But probably just as good/bad for her back, suspension wise.

Sounds like you’re in the Lord Of The Rings

Top choice! And it matches the jacket!

Might work the other way, who can take this stress over a longer period?

There might not be pictures until he washes it and spends 3 months going through the headers to make them photo worthy

Been working a lot this week, a lot of problems with pricing and my clients wanting to suspend new orders. Tomorrow will take my bike in to the mechanic, and change fluids, probably getting it washed over the weekend too as it's full of bugs and mud, next week it's going on a tour with Sofia. It should be summer weather, too, hopefully not too hot. The weekend is also going to have a lot of dog walks, bitches on the neighborhood are on heat and he's quite keen on going out for walks

There it gets lost amongst random stuff posted by bots!

I think we could perhaps have a "garage" type of section here, a thread per bike with this sort of stuff seems better than losing it in hundreds of pages of random stuff.

So your first job was to make it look scruffy? WHAT?

I stand firm in my vote for the 700, I think the old guy wants a smoother engine a little better suited for a passenger ... and a big top box, shall one start a thread about Pete's next top box? 52 lt Givi? It is after all way more discussed than his choice in bike once it starts appearing in ride reports

Did you actually pay without looking at it first?
