That could involve Photography Bob so it's likely to be a non-starter!

Earlier today: some nice vineyards as research for Sofia's south Portugal tour Had some average sandwich in a pretty sad looking place, which was unfortunate. However, it was very hot and we needed some food and water. Continuing on, we decided to split and meet up a little later, as I wanted to go via a nice dirt road, it started pretty smooth and great, However, ground turned to loose rocks, about the size of tennis balls, I was completely not happy with it, or confident. Bike felt too loose and I have little confidence in these tires holding their own against jagged rocks. To help things, it was now almost 40º and google maps decides to send me to a dead end. Ended up in some guy's farm, on a silty track amongst some vines. I was not a happy camper. Heard some voices so stopped the bike and went into the farm, where the dude was cool enough to point me the right way, on a nicer track that showed nowhere on my maps. Crisis was navigated successfully, and I manage to see the guy's alpaca Too bad for the bike, which is now covered in dust. All's well when it ends well We were quick to make a reservation to the nearest swimming pool, have a snack And, after resting from the extreme heat of the afternoon, going out for dinner. This is fried mackerel in one picture, and octopus in the other, you'll think it's weird, I think it's normal and yummy. Again, too much wine was needed, It's my birthday today, like I need an excuse!

That’s what I did. My concern was cutting a tire as the rocks looked jagged and I’m riding on 11000km TKC70s, not really tuff. Also, the high heat was stressing me a lot.

He's moved on a bit in a couple of days!

I don't know how to contact him as that photo just popped up on someone else's thread but if I do get details I'll let you know.

nope, we just have to look better than singleparenthood...?

a holiday cottage somewhere in Burgundy

You're gonna need to wedge a motor in there soon.

Not bad pity about your plates of meat lol

Up until the point, its broke....then you notice you are flying off a cliff approaching a terminal velocity of 236 mph moment's before you land face first.

Brilliant!

If i owned one it would be mint.

Busloads of people from Denver. They bus in the workers and the gamblers. Few people that live here actually go to the casinos and few work there as well. But us locals pay very low property and sales taxes as the casinos are taxed so heavily so it works out well for us. I live 8 miles out of town and rarely go down that way so it doesn;t affect me too much.

My current mileage indicates i my advert doom until the nex pandemic..

Happy Birthday Pedro......pushing 40 now then! And you're still the baby of the forum! God.......how old does that make us lot!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Octopus and Squid, yum yum yum. Great photos and Happy Birthday Pedro, as for the tennis ball sized rocks, increase your speed and you'll find that you 'float' over them. It sounds odd but generally it works.

Where's your entry

Well I know who I am voting for and there’s no need to say why.

I always liked those XT yam thingies you;ve had...

Never had kids either way so life with wallet leaching rug rats is beyond my scope of life experience... thank God!

Fantastic @Pedro! @Sir Fallsalot.........he's eating fucking octopus now! Pedro at the dinner table........

Word, i would still be calling all of Britain "England" right now....

You live in a really pretty place, to me that is what american mountains look like. Great stuff!

So ends today's excursion. More later.....

Roof has a bit of a sag in it...

Building with the flat front was a hotel in the 1880's, the other was the restaurant next door....

Great looking area to ride ?

Woohoo - rockin' in the big city. Gassed up and then back up the canyons to Black Hawk... Link to Astor House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_House_(Golden,_Colorado)

Fathers day also happens to be my Goddaughters Birthday, she's 6 and we had cake an' a BBQ an'cake an' presents an'cake an' stuff ! ??

This guy makes me mad - his horses have a better house then I do! Jealous.

Yeh......they closed it! Just thinking how different things might have been if I hadn't gone there recruiting for Bikezone in 2002. What you say @Lone Amigo?

Montana, Wyoming and Colorado are all mostly prairies. But all have a mountainous area - less than 15% of the land probably. In 10 days I have a trip planned to Kansas and will post pics of what most of Colorado looks like. Hint: it ain't pretty!

Somebody is looking at the Strom on Sunday.......see what happens. No odds if he doesn't go for it......I can get near that price on a part ex anyway. What am I thinking of? Undecided really......I could go one of two ways. You know the score after all these years guys.......you gotta wait till it turns up! As an aside, the wife doesn't know yet......need to know basis and all that!

Watched this the other day....being a RE Himalayan owner it caught my eye. It was great fun and I think the Himalayan held it's own very well. ? That CSC looks interesting but with a moody throttle and clutch I will stick with the Himalayan.
