Got out of the main road heading home today and found this sweet dirtroad. Only stopped for a wee, but will return later and see where it leeds

If it was this you need to move.

Nice night for a cruise, the bars were busy, that was good to see. This is were the CT river meets the sea!

my bike gets tired, too

For the first time this year I was able to cross into the province of Almeria! I'd done a bit of research and found a remote road (of sorts) near Cañadas de Cañepla which didn't really going anywhere other than around the area in a loop. And it appeared that it was littered with debris and devastation.....from individual buildings, to blocks of houses, to abandoned farm buildings. So here we go......this is Dark Motorcycling!

Forgot we're out again tonight. A regular outing to watch between 3 and 6 music acts at "The Rooms", a local venue on thew sea front. Been to the last 3 or 4 and it's always a good night. Means I'll be drinking again.

Earlier today

How many times she been hit by a truck then for comparison.

Need to get some of this kitchen sorted. Got to do a market chip run to but it's such a ball ache getting the bikes past the bloody rabbits no doubt we'll be in the car. It's drizzling anyway. Mums funeral was Thursday and I've still got a bit of a thick head and empty wallet. WSBs and F1 on the tele.

In 75 we were ripping anything we could get going round a farmers field. Took about 25pence to fill a crunchy, Honda c50.

Interesting point. Like our autos, our motorcycles are made for the type of traveling you can do, mostly in the western states. Wide open, huge distances (California is over 700 miles long. I have to travel 2300 miles to get to Tennessee to buy my moonshine). Roads are wide and flat for the most part. The spaces between the roads (in the west) are also wide open. Like the GS, this bike will be an SUV for most riders. For the merry band of #AGALOS, we will hurt ourselves riding them like dirt bikes. Sunday is my turn on the bike, at Lake Elsinore (of On any Sunday fame). I understand we get to play in the dirt, even if it is a level, gravel lot. Unguided road rides means i will get to test the bike in Sport mode, and enjoy all 150 horses! Y'all make it out to Cali and you will see why most Europeans we run into on the highway are on Harley's.

I'm always operating with the highest amount of respect for the trees. But thanks for your concern....now HOLD MY BEER......lol

Then there is this.

Well your trail braking advice didn't help @MooN much!

For when you have a pleasant ride but just don’t feel like stopping often for pictures, or are just plain lazy to post a proper report, post your one stop ride report below:

Or die because of it! I might even not be able to ride to Morocco through Spain... selfish fuckers!

That’s why passengers used to sit sideways on motorcycles

Portugal dealt with the British strain, the brasilian strain, and the south african strain, because of international travels during Christmas. We have learned nothing!

yes it is becoming a bit of a strain it's never ending

Very nice great pictures, it’s a good job those sheep had the farmer with them or you would have been into them in short measure.

Step this way for Rugged Individualism......

Dark motorcycling in bad weather would be suicidal Dave!

Looks like that won't be standing too much longer. Dark motorcycling in the sunshine, bloody grim here.

Check off community service, i screwed sues nuts in this moaning.

I'll be out by 11 before it warms up too much!

gay taunts from a scooter rider ....

2nd stab yesterday, Moderna. Side effects were minor for me, but not so minor for friend's wife. She said it felt like a truck hit her. Probably because she doesnt ride a motorcycle.

not as much as Spain on there .

fuck me your spending more time lurking about on there , than the mystery man from Sheffield lurking about on here

1877 more like!

Love the new growth on the Douglas Fir trees....

It is a long weekend here in Canada, Thanks Queen Victoria! Anyways, going to take the Himalayans out early today before the city folk fill up our backcountry this weekend with their silliness. Going to ride a route that is always snowed in during the winter, so I'm excited, as I haven't been there since last summer. Then I think I have a date with my chainsaw later today! Have a great weekend everyone!

Pretty much how I ride my Harley, but there is never a camera available at the time so you lot don't get the benefit. Pretty sure that boy was following my trail braking advice quite a bit there as well.

Its easy in the dry get him on a wet welsh lane and see how he does

Went to the store, first day with no mask rule here, nice being able to breathe like thats not important.

@Mawsley told me to come on here , he said you kept getting tearful cause you was missing me ..... bit gay in my opinion but dont like seeing people upset so here i am .

He was the first one as well Keith! And I hadn't given him the link either! I wonder who did.......cos as far as I was aware only the Mods and Admin knew it?

Lol, it's nothing bad at all. I have an unused Riders's Manual for R 1200 GS and I wondered if you wanted it. It's 09.2009 1st edition . Like I say , if you want it I will post it too you.

My best guess is those chains will outlast the first few riders, transfer power better to the rear wheel then a shaft, consume less power and if you like you can change the rear ends ratio's with ease compared to a shaft or belt. Other than that chains suck cause you have to clean the back wheel more often.

Can't imagine a belt would last long in gravel and sand, but could be wrong.
