I agree, I would very much prefer to stick to slower roads even if the distance doesn't get covered. I can do a day of motorway speeds to get to wherever I'm going, two days is pushing it, but my idea of enjoying the place does not include that time of riding. Nothing against this trip, but to me an 8 hour riding day is only fun if the roads are interesting or slow enough to take in the place. I am currently panicking about my work situation for next year, though, so I will be frugal with money and not go anywhere I can't access on my bike.

In that case, it’s reasonable to say that if you’re not back within a couple of hours of what would be normal she would know where you are, that must provide some comfort?

I also get a little freaked out when cornering with road bikes with short front suspensions, like a CBR, s1000r, Speed Triple, seems like I’m always almost feeling stuff that scares me. On a traillie the wheel is way over there doing it’s thing and not needing my help

Maybe turning on your phone’s location sharing when you’re out riding might be useful, if eventually you don’t come back for dinner? Obviously, assuming you’re always really riding motorcycles ...

They’re tiny, but the 701 road spec one is quite cool, in my opinion. But for some reason I’m only at ease on bikes with proper offroad style handlebars and traillie body position

It’s meant for kids on a motocross track, plenty of time for that, even more so considering some will be ridden with lower output specs, trying to prevent kids from breaking bobes and all

Quickshifter on that thing, makes all the sense but somehow I thought they wouldn’t put it in a single. Might this be a case of a bike that you can never ride anywhere close to it’s limit?

You’re not pouting, are you @Sir Fallsalot? You know we love you ...

Baja must be an amazing place to visit, race or no race. Great pictures @alfalfa

He doesn’t need disqualification, what @Sir Fallsalot needs is to submit his picture in a proper way instead of boasting about being a celebrity on some needy forum, that doesn’t carry any weight with this lot!

This is like the government here Fred. Nothing goes through without a taskforce being created to choose people for the think tank, and then everything being put through a vote by the final committee

Well, here's your chance to create a nominate button Be a part of the solution, not the problem!

Ooh, so you're not just a soothing voice behind a Bagheera and a helmet camera!

You tease, you tell that to all the boys!

I've heard of similar plans for Portugal starting during January. I was going to comment on the ironic emphasis put on region and classes, but then I noticed you´re quoting catalan news Can take the Pete away from Wales, but can't take the insurgent minority out of Pete ?

Great looking dirt road, exactly the kind I enjoying taking the GS on when I had 50% dirt worthy tires. I've told you before, shoot with the sun behind you and the bike, or just take the leg instead of Sandra Bullock! In this order: Sun - Pete´s camera - motorcycle-scenery

I love everything about that

Maybe you would just copy a picture that caught your eye on a ride report and saved it for submission later, it is a lot more democratic and very "oscars nominations"

I missed this when you launched it, cool stuff, you live in a really pretty area. That is such a different place to where I live that I always wonder what do people do for work in places like that where they seem to be so far away from everything economic. Your sun visor looks like it's cracked?

That's what make those insane guys so great

I agree, but that's often the case when the superior or dominant rider hurts himself, Rainey, Doohan, not falling or not hurting yourself is a big part of winning and the responsibility is theirs. Mir didn't hurt himself. A part of Marquez's dominance is his aggressiveness, without that risk propensity he wouldn't ride the same, it goes hand in hand.

Indeed, I am curious as to how everything would have happened facing an operational Marquez, we'll see next year.

And Oliveira won by 4 seconds, first place from start to finish, what a way to win his first race in Portugal, I'm very happy for the kid. Were we not in lockdown the Autodromo (and Lisbon) would have erupted
