End of February is upon us, and with it, BOTM! You can submit a picture of your currently owned motorcycle or scooter, out on a ride taken in February. It has to be an horizontal picture to fit the site. I'll lock this thread on the 26th after dinner and create the poll, you can submit more than one picture as I'll only consider the last one.

Welcome, @Gordon! If you’re confident in your fitness and don’t plan on doing long rides, try to go for a test ride on whatever you like the look of, check if that one makes you happy and that you’re adequately comfortable on it. Disregard every other opinion as you’re clearly already thinking about it with safety in mind.

His character totally made the movie, though

Honda, is it Josh Grant?

Rode an NC750X for 400 or 500 km the other day. Nice and capable bike, I like the integrated trunk Looked at Harleys today And also rode @Sofia’s speed triple for a little bit today. It’s way better than the NC so she wanted to change back Random Tenere picture, proper Tenere too And drove @Sofia‘s Barchetta for 300km today, too

Dani is built like a slightly taller Marc Marquez, he is what Honda thinks of when they design a bike.

That's Pete!

It must have been so cold your legs and head shrunk into your torso!

Looks a little like the Alien forehead with the visor on. Great to hear you love it, though! Maybe a trip in the plans?

crack a window

Swedes and Norwegians love either high revving american V8s or highly turboed european 5 and 6 cylinders. Give them a strong turbo european 8 or 10 and they’ll go insane. You see, they either get drunk for the winter or build an engine, I think it’s both

Good negotiation skills! Hey @Nute! That American really is in a hurry to move out from his snowy paradise, there’s a deal to be made!

It's scandinavian, I bet it's got a proper chassis.

it's so you appreciate it more afterwards.

If I go to the US, that’s one event I must watch.

However, if he waits until after tomorrow it'll be that much more valuable!

I suppose that's one way to make an impression in the wherever you go after life. Show up along with a duck and a tortoise

Deleted three posts. @Six30, don´t be rude.

Plenty of times I went with other bikes before. But this month: Clive went to some effort, but the gammon in the background spoils it even though the scooter looks great. Also, I prefer the Triumph to the scooter. I may change my vote just for the effort of going out in the cold to take a picture. The filter on the Hornet's picture almost makes me dizzy. The Beta seems to have been abandoned to die, plus you can't see the bike. You took a picture that consists more of parking tarmac than anything else, with cars in the background. It would be between mine and Sofia's, and I don't vote for myself.

For now, I'll go with Sofia's bike. The sea in the distance, the tail pack, and the bikes got a nice stance.

Let me put things in perspective: In Portugal, a parliament deputy for our far right wing party (similar to Britain First) has just been accused (with video evidence) of stealing luggage in the airport and then selling used clothing items online. He had several stolen suitcases in his office in the parliament building, and a lot more at home Politics is a no go area of discussion on this forum, though.

It's time for January 2025 Bike Of The Month. Below I present this month's 6 entries: @Clive's Daelim S3 250cc: @JustaPor's Honda CB750 Hornet: @Pedro's BMW R1200GS Adventure: @Sir Fallsalot's Beta XTrainer 300: @Six30's Triumph Street Triple 765 RS: @Sofia's Triumph Speed Triple 1050 R: This can set the tone for the year, so the world is watching in anticipation! You have one vote, and you can change it until the 31st at 21:00, by which time the poll automatically closes.
