That's the price of being a sex symbol, Bruce, unfortunately you start not being taken seriously

Portugal has been considered the country with the highest number of new infections relative to population yesterday, at least were first in something

I get annoyed with the whole "pack" mentality that happens when people get on motorcycles or bicycles or whatever, suddenly they can boss people around on the street just because they are on a pack of several. Karma puts these people in positions when they're remembered that their pack is worth shit and they, and this video is such an occasion. In this case the real bad guys really only needed to merge into a different lane and were bossed around like those twats on the bikes probably did to countless other people.

Are you talking about a sidestand foot or camshafts, FFS?

I love it when you come out with your feelings like that @Tym, it makes me feel happy with humanity.

Well thank god for that, I hope the same goes to everyone

Lovely pictures, Pete! Looks properly cold that, but way prettier that decrepit ruins

History should have Scott and Pookie

This isn't "bike forums", it's us!

@YamaHead and @modrover, we haven't heard from you in a while buddies...

If you ever return and decide to rent a bike, it will be my pleasure to take you on a little ride around provided I can keep up.

We don't get those in Portugal, even though there is a Toyota factory assembling Landcruisers here, that's like a Hilux with a full body on it isn't it? Looks like a nice car to have in your area and winter.

Shouldn't Busboy now be Boatboy?

That's the Arab ancestry in your area!

What his proper official papers' name? I don't think we get that over here.

I liked how he was one of the few to wheely up the starting stage, helmet in elbow and all, you can tell a latin soul when you see one

Are you aware that white stuff is really cold water, @XTreme? Like those views, seems cold though.

Don't mind him @Grasshopper's Ride, these brits are surprised when they see anything other than a 90s sports bike, they´re not used to discerning tastes. Great views on that road up in the hills there @Skippy, do you know what kind of altitude you climb to over there? Weather is wonky, climate change is upon us and it means temperate climates will get colder while cold climates will unfreeze, worrying times, might as well go for a ride in the meantime. How do you like the coffee in Spain? I ask because I find it hateful as soon as you cross the border, maybe with some milk it disguises it.

Dude can ride a motorcycle:

What did it carry that needed such a small heavy truck?

Honda placed first and second. Seems it took them quite a few events to iron out the kinks but they're pretty strong now. Good to see, it's always good to have brand competition. Peterhansel just won his 14th Dakar now, in a car. What a legend the guy is! Al Attiyah is one of the world's best sand drivers, so mustn't have been easy. Although I dislike Saudi Arabia as a Dakar host, it's good to see Arabian sand, it's closer to the original Sahara than the American one, and having two sand masters getting first and second in the cars is no coincidence.

No other bike I would prefer to be on, even if by myself, on country roads. The engine character just suits my temperament and the chassis allows me to cheat my way to being a better rider than I really am.

Just thought it would be a good way to get it dried up inside after a weekend. Is a "berth" a spot on the water that is reserved to you, or a place tied to the dock itself? Here there aren't many places with big enough protection from the sea waves that you can keep boats year round other than marinas.

I think I'll post a review on what I think riding a World Superbike is, mainly that time Ducati could have asked to go and show Troy Corser how to cope with a fast bike.

That ride absolutely changed my mood. I had planned on touring southern Portugal during Christmas and New Year, I had the free time, the money, the bike, no shortage of places to stay and the country was open and unrestricted. Instead, passed that whole season thinking tomorrow I'll go but just felt depressed and unable to go anywhere. That ride lasted about 2 hours, got wet and cold from the waist down, got the bike filthy, but came back with a smile. New plan is to do that same touring starting on February, might be cold but whatever. Assuming I'll muster the mood and the country is unrestricted again I'll go. Some dates just make me want to not be sitting around people, and the open road makes me feel clearer in the head once I actually go.
