Ooooooh look photos of me and my bikes, anyone else seen Bucks bike out ?

I had a vacuum cleaner once that came very close.

Woke up after a night of hard noisy rain expecting to be in for the day, but the sun was shinning so thought it was a good day to take Maria's bike for it periodic warm up run, got my cool leather jacket and went for a ride. For legal reasons decided it was best to keep out of tarmac even though I didn't feel like getting the bike dirty, I haven't got the heart to get this bike dirty but the dirt was moist and ideal for traction and not getting either dust nor mud up. Short 10 or 20km run and got back home to park it back up in it's spot, after a quick cuddle. Taking this bike out for it's run in a thing of love. Wasn´t intending to, but the quick ride up the dirt road made me feel like going for a blast in the XR, so after the 230 was parked I changed clothes, the cool leather jacket for the summer jacket and motocross boots. Took some farm access roads: And then some medium to high speed dirt roads over some of my favorite local landscapes: I have the XR running on well setup suspension, but I have almost new Michelin AC10 on, and it's a tire that I don't rate at all. I chose them for being street legal but regret it whenever I use them at over 80kmh on dirt, they give poor feedback on the front wheel, you never know when it's about to wash out from under you, next time it's going back on motocross rubber. Anyway had a great ride and the only worry was when coming out of a fast corner almost running into a pile of manure someone left parked on the middle of a dirt road. On the way back too a picture of the coolest bridge I know, while waiting for the traffic to switch back my way, the bridge Rainha D.ª Amélia crosses the Tejo river: Made it back but before coming home decided to give the bike and my boots a hose down to get rid of the farm track mud on this service station right at the end of the dirt road. It's really convenient to have a service station at the end of the dirt road: Getting back home just before some heavy showers, in time to aply some silicone spray on the plastics and make it ready for parking for a few more weeks next to it's little sister, the 230.

Great photos Pedro, makes me want to get out on the dirt asap ?

And this is my Zimmer frame.

Great songwriter.......but everybody who records one of his songs does it better than him.

Let get this straight, you feel like you have a blown front tire, so instead of stopping and having a look you simply ride back home? Tomorrow, I might go for a little ride on Maria's bike, it hasn't gotten a warm up in a little time, maybe 5 or 6 months, maybe more. Might even post a video of how a bike starts ....

So could you.
