Pedro

Hard to beat! happy birthday!

I followed him, until he came to Portugal and made an entire video of himself and a friend destroying dunes by the beach. I don’t tolerate that shit The sands of Leiria laid waste to his clutch and he limped back to France, I was happy with that

You’ll pretend it wasn’t a factor?

Good for the passenger?

Nothing like 42° to make you forget about longing for warmth

He proves you can be one of the greatest riders, fierce and very committed, but a twat as well. Being a twat is not connected to being a genius , plus, if everyone has been telling you you’re the greatest ever since you’re 15, you’re likely to go and believe it.

Eric it’s got a monster puppet in it, it’s great.

Or, talking practical, a big scooter, like those that look like a mini goldwings. They must be great for really bad weather.

How about an older RT or PanEuropean? Perfect for bad weather and lovely for a passenger

The Hornet is the bike for commuting, modern handling and safety plus frugal. If you’re getting something else get something to take your daughter for a coffee once a week.

having said that, @Saul, I think a CBR1100XX or VFR would make for a great going to work bike, as does an R1200 of the road kind, or k1300, ABS, heated grips and shaft!, plus comfy for riding with your little one? We can make a fake thread reaching whatever conclusion you want, if you want something to show the wife …

It's a page straight out of Enzo Ferrari's book, Ducati is even more cruel to riders than Honda is/was. They couldn't give a shit if the guys are happy and working together or not, if they win out of hatred they couldn't care less

Octanes are measured differently in the US and here.

Live just now: It's cool stuff!

6 weeks isn't a lot of time for fuel to go bad, though.

I see the Glowing is growing on you, taking for a solo ride instead of the Super Tenere? I saw snow even last month, and I'm in Portugal

It probably is a shit motorcycle film, but Tom Hardy and Elvis will make it a fun thing to watch.

Portugal is one of the world's biggest consumers of salted codfish. There's 1000 recipes to cook codfish in Portugal, supposedly. This is amongst my top 10. Take it out of the coal a little bit before you would if it was to be eaten straight from the coals. You can still see moisture boiling out of it, though, don't let it get dry and overcooked. The charred skin adds to the flavor. Debone it, breaking into chunks, and into a clay pot it goes, amongst a few smashed garlic cloves and plenty of olive oil. Nothing else. Back into the coals it goes, give it a stir to coat everything with the olive oil, and forget about it. According to the heat, you place it closer or farther away, it's supposed to boil gently. This coal was quickly disappearing so straight onto the coals it went. Onto the table, after a while...: And served with boiled or baked potatoes, and the optional thinly sliced raw onions to offset the sweetness and comforting olive oil and confit codfish. It's yummy. I advise a very cold and very crisp white wine to go along with it.

They should name it The Wankster!

Cool looking bikes, but quite low? There used to be a few around here, but usually that less road version, with the yellow or red tank. edit: the SLR, that’s what was more common around here, the SLR650. Same bike with a taller suspension?

Rim rot

Cold as a cunt full of snow made me laugh

You influencer!

Dying to know what explanation is
