I think Yamaha France is almost viewed as it's own brand. It's immense, or at least used to be, just look at the racing they did under their own name in endurance or the Dakar.

Because you can still see post titles on ignore, and you started posting outside of the chat section. And also, when on the general view of the forum, I click on the thread title without being who's posted it, and go into that thread, this doesn't make sense but it's kind of tricky to explain.

I once had you on ignore, but then you started doing your van reports and I figured it was time to bring you back into my life

And very few in Portugal, too. The XT600 was king here, but I think that's because both Honda and Yamaha were much bigger brands and had much more dealership presence.

You’re right, it’s not fair

Triumph's process: Get a sportsbike, take off it's fairings and change bars, and make a naked. Realize people like the naked more, and delete the sportsbike. Take that naked, and add a fairing and change bars, and make a sports bike.

Harley Davidson used to publicize their paintwork being hand finished too, but these guys make a whole selling point of it. The yellow bits on the wheels are so people know it's actually moving

Second is the first looser The other comment, I'm not sure if it's trolling or just petty.

Judging by this thread, it should be renamed CFCOONBOTM - Creating Forum Content Out Of Nothing Banner Of The Month

It’s one of the ok things to carry as a topbox, if you’re a fashionable person

Was it you, Pete? I don’t vote for myself

For that price, it’s good that there are no misunderstandings!

I’d like to thank both people that voted for my bike. BOTH, as in TWO!

Exactly, the result of it you can see above

The dude was putting 160.000km every year at well over 70 years old, that's an average of 440km per day every day. Assuming he took the odd day off, where the hell was he going?

The GS's success happened

They changed it, they used to be called the Turds

Also, "my brake light wasn't on" ...

Pete Shit walks into a restaurant to pick up his take away order. Hello, I'm Pete Shit and I'm here to pick up my order. Server: Hello sir, and ... Pete Shit? That's an unusual name... Pete Shit: Yes, I got sick of my name and had it changed! I used to be called Tony Shit and that really sucked

The classics, nice!

I voted for Michelle, out of my picture it's the one that most brings out a feeling of wanting to be there and doing the kind of riding I would want to do. Of course, coming second would be standing outside @boboneleg's garage piling topcases on a bike, that came a close second

Same thing happens with the Nurburgring, green parties are trying to shut it for years, and the majority of the locals aren't keen on it either, they don't really like noisy cars going by their street on the way to the track on sunday mornings. But, the fact is a big part of the area's income comes straight from the track, close it and use it for bycicle races and other nonsense and suddenly 70% of the area's income goes to shit. Me? I don't take out of the catalyst on my bike because it helps me have a clearer conscience, but I also won't stop riding unless I'm forbidden to, and I think all this crap is pointless, we'll all go to shit and the planet will pick itself up in less than a century.
