On the other hand, you can go around the world and not find or have an adventure, and have an adventure when you´re commuting home from work or on the train. Traveling doesn't mean adventure, it just means traveling. The "adventure" part of the segment's name is just marketing. Big trail or trail mustn't have been a manly enough name for the american market, it worked well enough in Europe for decades.

I, for one, would like to test ride a big v-twin.

Just goes to show, even the drug business is suffering ... Welcome, I don't know what a Tigger Alpine is though.

Loved it

Welcome, amazing snow pictures. Looks like you carved your way through ?

Sofia is one of my best friends! I've told her you're a bunch of reprobates and not like the nice people she met while working the UK, but here she is anyway... ?

Hello, and welcome! Nice choice of bikes, lets hear something more about that yamaha.

Is it you or was it tour wife that rode? I forgot.

Welcome! That's a nice picture there.

I don't know what a shill is, I suppose you want to make me your inside man over there, but I don't really know anyone there, and haven't posted for years. I never really liked place, although I do enjoy all their pictures and americanness. My presence online has been non existent over the last 4 or years. Posted a couple of questions on UKGser but don't know anyone there either. Basically, you bunch of twats are my only online friends!

Hello dude!

Welcome, that's a cool bike. There are a couple of places that fly gliders in Portugal, but as far as I know only a couple. In the south, the small airfield with light aircrafts thing is quite popular, although I suppose you burn money on them.

Proper fright I caught, I wasn't used to dogs and was left to fend off two huge Rottweilers while holding a mug of tea! Bless her, 14 is quite a nice age. Mine probably won't live as long.

I don't suppose you remember, but on July 2012 I posted a report in which, riding the XR in the woods, I found an abandoned puppy and took him home. He was barely one month old, very sick and had a serious case of scabies, left to die in a heatwave. This is him after a couple of weeks at home: And this is him now, spoiled and 8 years old, having survived serious liver surgery last year: He's the man! ?

so, you're just a tease!

Suspension looking nice and fresh, congrats. I bet you get a lot more trouble from those bearing in the UK than we do here in drier countries.

Kidney stones are a bitch. Once, after a night of regional white wine I woke up thinking I was going for a quiet early morning piss and then back to bed, and half an hour later I was at the hospital's door on my knees, puking and crying like a little girl. Drugs felt great 20 minutes later, though. Can't imagine how it must hurt if the stones are too big.

I do love the concept and idea of a chopper, but isn't a 400 kind of small for one?

When they do allow you to enjoy your hollidays, if you're able to rent a bike in Portimão you can enjoy some really nice roads and views nearby

Scott, welcome buddy!

I never use the center stand on a casual stop off-road, great chance of it getting away from you getting it off because of different ground softness in each foot. Love the bike, though, I test rode one and loved the engine and smoothness of it. Also there's something about a Yamaha shaft drive that is very reassuring over all other shafts, to me at least.

Fucking XT, embarrassing moments. I now hand over the XR every time I have the chance just to see people go through the same as me back then. Thanks, guys. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome, Ian me old mate.

Shit, I just realized you're Bruce! Hello Bruce!

Moon!
