Surprises me how they are able to do that while crossing a police line. Are the cops there only to protect the buildings from being breached or damaged?

To be honest, the "motorcycling tourettes" wasn't a comment on your riding skill or technical stuff you're doing on the bike's controls, I've no doubt you're a very competent rider. It was, yes, a comment on how it looks like when someone is following you on the road, I felt like you were going slow in the fast bits and accelerate in the slower bits to try and shake me off or catch me by surprise, hence the tourettes

Really liked that, my bike would be happy enough on those roads. And those forests are amazing.

And Chopstick is a low blow, I’m drunk fighting mosquitoes and posting from my phone outside

I don’t know anything, have we met? Are there any pictures?

I meant on this forum

And @Slowlycatchymonkeyposted the worst ever ride report, which was pages of drivel before actually leaving and spending a few days unable to reach her camera for a picture. Not even of the local alley behind the chinese restaurant or Lidl.

Good, I just thought of him as one of escapees as an afterthought. Because it wasn’t like The Great Escape, it was more like the animation picture with the hens escaping the coop house:

500 miles on a casual rideout? That’s something!

See? “I posted 2 pictures earlier” only makes you look sad

Remembered, Swagman posted a picture of his mates eating a burger somewhere, and Mawsley indeed posts great stuff and an awesome report with amazing pictures!

Never mind that, seniority doesn’t count here, just post a ride report of some sorts and you’ll be way ahead of anyone that came from that other forum. So far Rich has posted a picture of his bike behind some alley, Six has posted a picture of his bike next to an old opel corsa, and Clive has posted a picture of when he went to buy a loaf of bread. They’re making it easy for you!

I don’t wear a mask on the street, rules here is that it’s mandatory unless you can maintain health distances, and I’m more than happy to stay away from people

Best scenario possible for that or any other sudden thing to happen. With top notch medical staff on standby 100 meters away and all the medical care on hand. Have that happen to you in the middle of the night, and you’re fucked.

@XTreme, @skyrider low seat height as well...

That hasn’t been a known job in Portugal up until a few years ago, and even then not as well paid as there. I fid read a couple of good books written by guys who did work as motorcycle couriers in London, so it’s a little mythical to me

A motorcycle courier in London? Bet you have a few stories to tell

I like this video, first the guy won't get out of the car, then the dog gets in and he tries to get out, and the puppy says: "where you going? come back here!"

Weather is looking kind of shit, and also I can't bring myself to do anything except wait days to pass.

I like those cones, just provide a nice barrier between myself on the wrong lane and all the cars stuck behind the cones I appreciate it's a different atitude towards traffic management, here and there, though.

Clearly!

How do you know it's ugly?

Probably a small house amongst many in a steep hill, like a favela or similar. Easy enough to walk off from a path onto someone's rooftop. Obviously hooves aren't the best feet you can have for walking on clay tiles

Should have gotten a nice BMW or Harley ...
