I’m more worried about Triumph. The word on the street is that it’s too imperialist of a name and they’ll have to change to Modest Success

It’s the talk of the street in Portugal, Marcel!

It’s a good thing BMW never did anything wrong to any people, they’re a harmless brand with no ties to … wait…

I’ll whatsapp you a couple of pictures of the real dogs, see if you can do something with them. Plus the Triumph is black.

What cc is that scooter? 215kg dry is very heavy for a scooter isn’t it?

Indeed, feels magic with them being mostly all white. I liked the Dartmoor poneys too, but that is a wilder setting.

Maybe slow, but slow with shit suspension and tires isn’t boring

Can’t fault his commitment!

I have watched a few of these videos, dude works in England and specialises is carbed Japanese sportsbikes, it’s educational and weirdly addictive.

End of an era, sad to see it go!

You’re coming across as a needy stalker with a man crush, Marcel! Nothing wrong with that though, it’s 2024 and you are a middle aged man with a cruiser.

I will confer but that is BOTM material!

Yes! It’s on my ride report about the UK last year. That museum was amazing, and that area with the wild horses was one of my favourites of all the trip. Dartmoor was another.

Nice! When are you changing the rest of it?

The Shappen Cafe, in Burley, makes a great breakfast!

Nice, it’s a great place and a great area!

Yes, nothing like buying an old Nazi company’s bike to get away from political correctness

I meant I use a glass

Make the bike better looking and white, and me fatter, and you’re not wrong. Although I never drink wine out of a bottle!

30 to 33 here, it’s quite warm when it’s 30 and over in a breezy Atlantic town. Back in my place in the countryside only 80km away it’s 38. At least there will be wine in the balcony enjoying the cool evening breeze. I’ll take a picture.

But I will ride next week, to head up north, then getting the bike serviced next week and ready for a big ride to Italy in September.

Weather is great here at @Sofia’s. Too warm though, and too busy out so won’t even bother with the bike. Bloody summer heat and summer tourists!
