Only couple of pictures of my bike this month were next to some unexpected early spring flowers

Missus gets back from Paris this afternoon, so we'll see what the plan is for the weekend. Weather is not looking too bad, but a bit cooler than the last few days. Missus is saying that she needs to get her biking Mojo back, as she's barely used her bike in the 16 months that we've been here!

Supposed to be changing a bush on my car this weekend but the delivery date it was due on has come and gone maybe it will turn up tomorrow, Might see if i can get an MOT on the XR instead

KLR says bite me i get classic plates next year too.

Well that won’t matter as you won’t get any votes anyway.

Maybe due to them being a 3 piece band too? I used to go and watch them in a room out the back in a pub in Thornton Heath near Croydon many years back.

Planning on a walk down to the river with my son tomorrow, I'm keen to see if I can get that far (and back).

Weatherman just said it rained ice here on tv.

Rainned so much ice the town brought out the plow trucks, now the plow trucks are plowing frozen rain, im sure everyone here agrees, fuck Buck.

Rainning ice here, fuck Buck.

perhaps from behind.....

I've been out once this month and got one depressing pic on a gloomy day. Saturday it's forecast to rain so I may not even have an entry this month.

More shit on the horizon.......maybe there's a possibility on Sunday but I'm not holding my breath. Never had a more inactive Winter than this one......they weren't like this when I first came here. So......what you lot got on?

@Six30 would shag that.

Or a motorcycleriders rally?

dirty....

You know the criteria......it must be your bike and it must have been taken this month. If you make a submission and then get a better shot later on.....then just submit the new pic and tag me to delete the first one. This submissions thread will be open from now until late Saturday evening UK time, at which point the voting thread will open! Voting will then take place throughout Sunday 27th and Monday 28th February! Poll closes 8PM UK time Monday evening!

You may have to crawl back.

Brilliant album......bought it on release.

To my ear that's got a Hendrix vibe about it

My girl and I always laugh at how competitive we are. But I laugh more!

What happened to touring bikes, like proper road touring bikes for long distances across countries? From what I can see, there are only BMW, Harley and the Goldwing, doing touring bikes. Kawasaki has these on their webpage, it doesn't need any comments: Yamaha? Yamaha has a bloody three wheeler on it's touring section Suzuki does have a form of tourer Honda, granted, has the proper continent munching behemoth Goldwing, and apart from that has that new one with the Africa Twin engine and chain drive, BMW has the RT and the big K1600 line, and Harley has the ... Harleys, but what happened to the FJR, the GTR, the Paneuropean? Is the big touring market really reduced to three bikes plus Harleys?

Fucking heavy bastards though Dave!

Since the first Covid crisis, yes, but I think that was after a few years of sales going down.

I thought bike sales were going up?

This track was originally recorded in 1986, and lost for 29 years!

Respect your elders.

Highs, "Understated good looks". Are they telling us just in case.

Gayer than a gay dude from gaysville ................

Yes it's good on twists to but it's done over 500 in a day and I'd only really need a better seat to make it more comfortable. I get a numb arse on anything. I get your point though, maybe as bike sales have plummeted touring bikes have suffered more.

A big GS isn't a nice motorway bike though, not in the way a proper fairing and smooth 4 or more cylinder bike is with a long ratio top gear. 140kmh on the motorway gets old fast, I think. Yes, ok, but that's like my GS, more at home on twisty roads than if you were to want to do really big distances. I don't think nobody bought big tourers for wanting to be seen on one, though. Being seen on a GS isn't something that appealing either, plenty about and not exactly special, often by people who have trouble going down a sidewalk.

Called progress. Sports touring sounds faster. My Tracer gt is amongst the Yamaha sports touring range and does it well.

Pete's right. Feckin 'Adventure' bikes , it gets on my tits. I still call them 'big trailes' . Good point though Pedro, what the hell has happened to the 'Touring' bike. Imo you'd do best just buying the latest version of your GS as I don't think anything else comes close.

Adv bikes have taken over Pedro.....I suspect there's very little demand for old school tourers now. Basically everybody wants to be seen on a GS like yours!
