  1. Regardless of him not having a wife, or not being a “its”, that’s just a nasty comment
  2. Same thing, even worse I nearly dropped my bike today when stopped looking at google maps and up my collar crawls a giant grasshopper very curious about my face
  3. Quite smart, though. if you use an ironing board for a seat nobody will complain about the range!
  4. Pete would die roasted if he stood like that for 10 minutes on a late morning during a hot day where he lives
  5. I had never shared a pool with a seagull before. Although it looks summery, that is 50 meters high on a oceanside cliff, the wind was quite strong and not very warm at all. Took a walk before dinner, and you can see the wind on the water below
  6. No, I will have this bike till I die, regardless of getting another to share the load. I meant love from members here in the vote for BOTM
  7. How hot is it over there? looks like a swamp to me, mud and grass and water just screams giant mosquitoes
  8. I have a few I really like from the past three days, trying to get the love for the big GS back
  9. That looks very casual, just hanging around the shop in her thigh height boots and bikini
  10. Looks very nice, did you think it looked too nice and thus put that monstrosity on the back?
  11. Left Faro not having a clue where I would go next, half an hour into the ride I stopped for a while, having to make a couple of calls and send some emails, my office for my morning stuff, right after the twistiest nicest part of the N2 in southern Portugal. All you need is decent coverage and a laptop that doesn't crap out from all the vibration on the bike, my choice would have been for a cafe as I was a little needy of a coffee, but all my options so far had a few people around and I am trying to stay out of people's way. Can't really stand sitting in a cafe wearing a mask so I don't. I felt like riding back to the Alentejo, but temperatures are supposed to go into unpleasant levels, and I had just come from there, so instead headed west into the Atlantic, but via mountains and hills, a Algarve most tourists never see. I rode a mix of nice smooth roads you would be happy to take a fast sports bike on, mountain roads less smooth and more twisty, good gravel roads, and less good gravel roads Onto dirt: Someone must have been shot to death here, place looked grim with a british plated transit van half disassembled, I didn't stick around. The nice dirt road turned into a sort of dirt highway you could drive two TIR trailers side by side, some corrugations also made it unpleasant, didn't take pictures of that ugliness, and it was proper hot there too so didn't feel like stopping allowing my own dust to catch up. Then some nice enough roads through orange orchards, also no pictures, but then a nice dirt road near the Funcho dam. By 14:30 I was a bit hungry, climbed the Monchique serra, which I've posted about before, and had a cheese and tomato sandwich there Then, because the guy took forever to put a few slices of tomato and cheese inside some bread, and I didn't know where to go next, I took forever to leave. Decided on going to spend the night in a hotel I have wanted to stay in ever since the first time I visited Sagres as it overlooks the Sagres point from a similarly tall (50 meters) cliff. It's expensive but what the hell. Made quite good progress and enjoyed the bumpy roads coming here, brief stop by the Cape Saint Vincent lighthouse, my favourite building in Portugal: Didn´t hang around much as I really felt like a swim, plus I'll stop by a little tomorrow before going: The room is a disappointment, but the view as I'm posting this right now: Going for a walk on a cliffside, and dinner in a bit...
  12. Lost in the dirtroads of the Algarve, this looks like a mexican cartel village
  13. Those tiny hot rods with huge power, big tires and shitty handling must be terrifying to drive, let alone launch it
  14. Congratulations BMW, you made a right turd of it! And no hints from other brands either, cough cough, Scarabeo 500 rear end?
  15. Not really the legal stance here either, but nobody to enforce it.
  16. Just because! Them’s the rules! No rules for bikes! where the hell are you from? That’s just how it is! Rules are for cages!
  17. I would 100% pay for that car parking for a season however? On a bike? Parking is free!
  18. Pedro

    testing

    Portugal, @MooN, make it 2 x 4 day trips
  19. Ehy are Sportsters so slammed to the ground now? They used to be so much cooler with higher leaning clearance and suspension travel! a 120hp engine on a Sportster though?
  20. I like them white like that, cool bikes!
  21. He meant it in a naughty way, not bikes …
