All I know is that if I’m not let out on my Christmas/afterChristmas ride this year, I’ll throw an almighty tantrum

really good shots. one of which reminds me of Jalama beach, near me. great destination, at the end of a road.

Today I rode from my home in the countryside to Ericeira in the seaside. It was a bright sunny day, and felt amazing after the last few days’ storm. A short detour exploring an offroad track, I’ll go back with no luggage as it’s a little bit steep. In light of recent BOTM flops I decided to go for a photo shoot. Onwards, always taking the small roads on the map is a good policy for finding cool spots of road. Lisbon’s wine country is looking great will autumn colours. And then, near Ericeira looking at some big waves.

So just give the award to Moon because he lives in France? In your case I'd say that living in France is all the more reason not to give it to him........considering that lot hate your lot!

EXCUSE ME !!, I am leg-end ?

Bottom line is if your average speed is greater then mine< You;re a fucking lunatic bent on death by dismemberment. If you;re> average speed is below mine: You suck!

Fucking ocean haters!

Funny enough its the same here, never have i been anywhere where so many inconsiderate dicks congregate in such large numbers as the coast give me a country lane anyday

Spending the weekend assisting Ericeira’s favourite vet, today helping a lost puppy

I think you all know what to expect by now!

I refuse to vote because the dog isn't there lol

Now they're all on six! So I've deleted the no-hopers which are me, Pedro, and Fred! Anybody who voted for one of us losers now needs to recast their vote for one of the frontrunners!

Well, let me get the party started ? ? No lockdown here, but for now I never really leave the small coastal area I live, so no difference to me. Today will start with knives ? .... I plan on cutting open and gutting a few unsuspecting pumpkins. ? Then I get to see if I can fit a new oven (the old one BLEW UP) through the doorway of my cottage like house, should be fun. But wait there's more..... Going to upload my latest video, which will be hard for some of you to watch. There is a lot of RAIN ?️ Saturday and Sunday look great for weather, so we are going for a ride into my "backyard" to explore, now that the logging trucks have stopped for the season. ? I know, I know, when will the fun stop.... ?

Well were on very dodgy ground there as everyone hates the English, even you call us Hannoverians ?

That's what I averaged around Norway. No point in going any faster. On the long stretches of unpaved (roadworks) in Finland I tried to keep it at about 40 as below 30 the bike was all over the place. It get's difficult to average anything over 50mph on Welsh roads without being a bit of a risk taker. There's too much traffic. When I went up to North Wales during the lockdown for some training, we averaged nearer 60mph as there wasn't much traffic.

I have told another portuguese member that he is required to vote. We’ll ser how it goes.

That's exactly what I thought, although I'm not locked down (yet) the weather is shite. Well done Pedro and especially for taking your 'Mammoth' off road

i just discoverd that you can change your vote... ok, I wa trying to see if I could vote twice and rig it but I didn't manage that...

Some amazing shots Pedro! ? The bike looks great. Really beautiful countryside and the roads look really fun!

No-hopers?

It’s now 18:00, in 6 hours this vote better be sorted with a winner

Perfectly Splendid ? I was wondering about the handling with the fuel where it is.

Women with knives? Scary memories from 1972!

A three way, interesting.....??

The Himalayan is not too big and not too small, it's a happy almost middle weight bike with the actual weight of a big bike and the horsepower of a scooter ?

Listen mate, I can trace my lineage all the way back to a cave in Cheddar............

Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2, i am going back to TKC70 as soon as these are worn enough that it doesn’t make feel foolish in replacing them.

I've put my 250 up here before ?

Not any more!

Exactly! I can be in North Wales and somehow my GPS will get my arrival time home pretty much spot on.

The big GS is a very balanced bike and very good when there is a little grip and you can keep a little momentum going. I really dislike these tires, though, immensely.

2 hours for me! But I won't go anywhere near them......they're always full of dumbass Brits!

I agree with Bruce.

nice pics Pedro. I sooooo miss the coast . the nearest coast to me is a about a 5 hr ride...

In the UK have found that I always average 50mph and the longer the distance the more likely it is spot on. I may ride faster but the various stops or traffic problems always bring it down to 50. Going in to work is different, I usually do the 50 mile trip in 45 minutes going in (average 66mph??), that's because it is a relatively uncluttered ride with no embuggerances. Coming home it usually takes an hour because of filtering through 5 or 6 miles of traffic before hitting the motorway, so back to the 50mph average again.

This is a trip i tracked a few years ago all paved roads which included motorways as well as A and B roads, most of the time i stuck around the legal speed limits with stops for food, fuel and toilet, so i think the riding gods are either working their average out wrong or are full of shit. It takes 5 hours to do 400km on a motorway at motorway speeds throw some dirt in and you wont be doing 70mph for long periods unless their the gravel type roads you see out in Oz, or is that just me being a sceptical dick LOL

You know what they say, you can take the man out of Swansea but you cant take Swansea out of the man

Your language is fuckin shockin.

Here i am wondering what i just had for lunch and now whats the question again?

And the bad news is the older they get the more they fucking whinge and moan!

We don't have the social lives that we had in the 70's. And I expect most of the people we hung about with are no longer here. 20 years ago I'd look on the Internet to try and find what old friends were up to. Now I look to see if they're still alive. And a lot aren't.
