God help us!

Most bikes won’t start if they’re frozen solid for a day. Have you considered a quick disconnect thing to take the battery inside or just some sort of awning to take the frost away? If you’re living in your own house, I’d build some kind of shelter, at least from the frost coming from above.

Oh I know that, I just don't understand what they have to do with broken boots.

I think so, not sure unless they would actually try, I would bet they would be usable. Surely not like new but way better than duct tape over it.

What? I didn't get that.

You're such a beemer owner troll If you're interested, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get portuguese citizenship with a few euros, can't see Portugal turning brits away as we're too money hungry spineless for that.

Same thing happens here if you're crossing council borders on forbidden times. After showing them the letter, I've told a few cops that I wouldn't be talking to anyone except them had I not been stopped, and thanked them for forcing me to talk to someone who had contact with hundreds of people that day except the one person I was going to visit.

Your way of fixing a straight cut through that leather was to put tape over it? Here in europe, we have these people that specialize on fixing and maintaining shoes.

Is that proper leather? Looks like nice soles, so can't a local shoe repair guy help out?

As a side note, Cabo da Roca is one of the places Lisbon's motorcycles flock to on sunday rides, it's nice and quiet on a day like today though.

and made a video. There's also Ericeira's blue and white houses, sunshine, a lighthouse, old school windmills, and cool sunlight shining through trees on a forrest road, some twisties, all kinds of stuff. I even try and speak for a few seconds, and it feels awkward as shit!

I don't know what those are, I've lived a sheltered life

That's a whole lot more interesting than Tym's new boots

The one we call H2 on this side of the Atlantic is the supercharged one, I'd say it's way overpowered for any kind of non tarmac use, but then again there are crazies up for anything.

Today was quite cold for Portuguese standards, but quite sunny so I was happy with it as long as I kept out of motorways. Had breakfast at Ericeira, before going for a ride around town and then heading to Cabo da Roca, then turned inland and went to via a great forrest road heading home, on @Sofia's recommendation. Then, remembered @Grasshopper's Ride likes windmills so stopped for a picture, it´s a little deceiving because I didn´t really ride the dirt, it´s just the end of the road I rode there to check out the view on my favourite hill. Heading back home I stopped for a coffee at my local Dainese shop and ordered a pair of winter pants. The coffee was quite welcome, most the ride was at around 6 to 8ºC. Getting back home, and the locked home is freezing, I've turned the heating on and AC on, and fired the fireplace, it's now making a dent on the cold. I was having anticipating this so stopped to buy vegetables to make some soup for the next couple of days. I think I have a few cool clips for a movie, will get into it. Ericeira: Cabo da Roca's lighthouse, Europe's westernmost point right here: Stop next to a proper windmill, at Montejunto: Spotted an H2 after having my coffee, it's not a pretty bike in a conventional way but I do like them.

Harleys are reputed to actually stop quite well on emergency braking to a standstill, but don’t let that ruin your argument against the government

I would keep it the same, some pictures work better than others, so if you don't like it just wait a month with no bitching and it'll change then.

Liked it, some of that looks like good fun roads.

I forgot all about this. I got distracted with a great roast dinner and great wine. Sorry guys, will do better next month. Congratulations @Sir Fallsalot, One of the coolest pictures in 2020!

The head, I don’t have a choice but at least it’s practical now The bike, I really like it. Would not trade, only add different ones

I really need some proper wet and cold weather riding pants to go with the jacket

The seat was wet, it was raining ...

Did more of that than usual as i had wet pants Glad you like the view Bob
