Damn right!

I agree, time to take the broken record off the record player

Why is it called Arthur stone then? I was reading through it waiting for a mention of a crack on the stone from which a sword could have been pulled...

Got to have standards, The white Cadillac, first on the right lane, all way for me..., or the blue and white pickup second on the left lane, or maybe even better if the picture is clear enough, the red station wagon, fifth on the right lane! ... ...

The last of the great old school motorcycle tracks, the motorcycling's Spa Francorchamps.

Three things were clear after this race: - Quartararo is a cool guy, and the world needs cool French guys, god knows there’s plenty of french twats already - Viñales is a sore loosing idiot, and Maverick being his first name doesn’t make up for him being a spanish twat. The are several spaniards who aren’t sore losers or twats, but he’s not one of them. - My man Miguel Oliveira is a great MotoGP racer and I couldn’t be happier about it, a real credit to Portugal!

It’s a part of Portugal I don’t much care for. Whine is shit a food isn’t much to my liking, but there are some cool roads around the Zerere river for sure!

Great report!

No motorcycle is made for crashing off bridges, ffs!

But still, the big cylinders on it take precious leg space. On a GS or other bikes where you sit higher with legs below you it's of no problem as you don't need to put your legs forward, but on a cruiser lower seating position you need somewhere to park your legs. On a Sportster's or a Dyna's mid control position it makes sense, on this it just doesn't, to me

It's not like there was a lack of windmills in that street...

@Sir Fallsalot's Africa Twin for me, that road is what motorcycling is all about to me.

I took a seat on an R18 the other day, and completely agree that it hides it's weight very well, it has ridiculously low ground clearance and lean angle though. As far as I'm concerned I would take a Harley over one any day. Also my legs were a little cramped, which is not cool on such a bike. I am curious about looking at a Harley Pan America in person, the looks are growing on me. I am not one for black bikes as they're so hard to keep looking nice, but that one looks amazing. I might have missunderstood, @Slowlycatchymonkey, but did that guy with the FJR ride holding that full glass of beer? If so, that's really impressive.

Mine is it was so big I should have named it before launching it to the waters

I don’t even know if you can cope with one of those for trail riding if you have the shield closed.

I bet, the helmet noise is a lot different, maybe a modern dualsport helmet would have helped him

I wear plugs whenever I’m on a longish ride or on the motorway. Tinnitus scares the shit out of me.

That’s too bad, tinnitus is a bitch. They used to ride together didn’t they? A lot of things aren’t the same if done leaving your better half behind.

Are you on the wine, Bob? That’s usually my gig!

I like it, if it's got really big torque it'll be a nice more comfy and touring alternative to a Superduke.

This reminds me of the first time I saw a KTM950S in person, I read how tall they were and first saw one on the Nurburgring, with a normal looking dude stoping and getting off it with both his feet on the ground and legs even slightly bent, then he walked away from the bike and towards where I was, and by the time he walked past us suddenly he looked a whole lot taller than he did in the distance.

It looks smaller, but my first question is how tall that guy is, it might be dwarfed by a 210cm tall german test rider
