I think a Sportster is heavier to get from the sidestand up to vertical than my GS

Saw one of the 750 today, with a couple on top and metal side panniers. Silliest scene I've seen on the street in a long time.

Pete’s area = coolness?

Very interesting, this!

All part of the act, good effort

It's great when suddenly you get an extra free day

WOW

Doesn't help that it's on the floor next to his sweaty socks and boots!

Left home around 10:30 or 11:00, went for a nice ride next to the Douro river, then up some hills, stopped for a little lunch of grilled chicken and salad, and just made it back home. I think around 200km. Enjoyed the small roads a lot, and am liking the new suspension. Didn't bother to stop for pictures

I like it, but wouldn't you prefer something smaller for short day rides with sandwiches?

Road porn!

I shall be taking Costa for his walk in the morning, and then taking the bike out for a ride up to the hills, back home by mid afternoon.

Not sure about driving together, but there’s a forum https://www.ibizaclubpt.com There are 400hp diesel ibizas driving on methanol here, they do street racing together, maybe that counts?

They do, actually, if they’re those guys

Enough with the food jokes already, it was an honest question directed to someone travelling with friends with whom he’s too tired to share dinner and a drink with. Those last one or two hundred miles will still be there in the morning and best enjoyed with a fresh spirit

Never buy shit from a guy outside a pub

Why ride such long days if you're too tired to enjoy the evening, though?

I love that, as a kid watching tv shows that is the landscape I thought all American mountains were like, either that or desert. We've got similar here but the scale and the distances you cover going through that are different.

I meant the pistol

I googled it, very cool John Wayne style shooter Americans are weird, just found out there is an Internet Movie Firearms Database http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Harley_Davidson_and_the_Marlboro_Man#Ruger_Super_Blackhawk

If they're really custom built for you, 6 weeks between order and shipment seems quite quick to me.
