It wasn’t our best effort ever, for sure. It was like getting home drunk at 4AM and eating what you have as three day old leftovers in the fridge, with crackers as there’s no bread. Not ideal but still great as you’re that drunk and hungry! That’s what hour boys missed: being hungry. There’s oldschool Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, and a few other dudes who were just passing time. Had we had 3 Pepe’s we would be golden. Good for us we had Diogo, who is a star goal keepe and fortunately a northern boy from FCPorto who got us there and beat our opponent singlehandedly. God knows how we will deal with France!

@Saul, consider this: if you lower spring compression on the forks, you might be eating soggy lasagna forever. I don’t know if it’s worth it!

That looks like a sweet road!

Is that the dirt track thing they were talking about? I don’t get those rules, Harley runs an open 1250 but KTM runs a 890 instead of a proper super duke? And BMW runs a boxer that came out 20 years ago instead of the modern 1300 or even last 1250? On the other hand, that Panamerica turned naked sportsbike looks sweet!

Nothing worse than soggy lasagna!

Love it than in the UK you buy supercars and then drive around with a license plate on the dashboard like you're a truck driver.

It's funny when there's a segment of motorcycles in which if you buy a used 10 or 15 year old bike you get more performance and better engineered engines than if you buy a brand new one.

Yes, celebrate here instead of out loud at home!

Good stuff, @Saul!

It’s all going according to plan. Our guys need to be knocked down before it matters, so they don’t overdo with being divas.

Love that nice dirtroad!

Is that engine oil or someone went nuts with oiling the chain?

As always, invaluable contributions!

Do the breathing exercises, it’s not till tomorrow!

He likes Honda. You don’t do red?

We just had a flash flood yesterday, in Portugal’s driest area, in Summer Germany is known for unpredictable weather in summertime, so God only knows what can happen!

That is not appropriate behaviour from a moderator! She’s the friend’s wife who he didn’t want to join in on the trip. Plus she rides a trike:

Do they walk crossing the street or are they nuts like deer and come full tilt and jumping?

Remap it to suit that silly exhaust.

Not trying to be funny, but have her sit on it wearing track bottoms or anything like that, slippery and stretchy, and see if it helps, her jeans seem tight. If I sit on my bike with normal jeans I become quite shorter than when wearing riding jeans or motorcycle pants. A pair of nice riding jeans like Dainese that have a little stretch in that area might help before changing the bike. Can’t understand how you can’t lower the front too, do the forks not go across the top yoke?

I get it. But won't you miss it a lot when going long distance to your France trips?

Had it not snapped the button, would you still consider getting rid of the bike?

What a cool dude!

Very cool paths that you went through. Did you snap the thing from trying to reach too far to the ground? Why didn’t it happen before?
