If you got off your bike and walked somewhere then post the pic here. I went on my first deliberate walk today. The planned route according to Google maps was “mostly flat” LIES!! But it was pretty, I did like it and will do it again soon. Thought of @yen_powell with his appreciation of steps and old architecture. Mostly flat.. what bollo! Doesn’t look that steep till you notice how far into the incline Mr Slowly is lent Yep definitely flat

Picked up some parcels and went to the supermarket on the way back, there was this cutie. He was so well behaved but also very keen to be reunited with his human. Started off on the acceptable side of the tills and then found a closed one for a closer look

My Ginger Bud. The kids call him Odie.

@Saul......you can never mention the word "ginger" on here......these dickheads have a phobia about it.

Pete is with you?

To be honest walking is quite literally a pain for me but I love it as it's the best time I spend with my son. If ever something good came out of covid then our chance to go out for a walk together was it . Some photos of our walks............

Out for my morning constitution with my little ginger Bud. Blustery.

Punchline- it’s €4 to go in the castle, no cards and we had no cash

Taller than Pete.

Anyone that sends a letter on punctured paper and doesn't respect margins doesn't deserve it to be read, Marcel!

You did that earlier with the Honda purchase

Yep it do! Nice work. You could teach these incandescent old gits a thing or two

We've hit rock bottom!

If you think that lovely old stuff is as boring as fuck then urrr..

Some really lovely pics @boboneleg Nice that something so good came out of something so crap.

Soz should I say gay or twat to pique your interest?

Newsflash, brit is outraged to find out there are hills and steps after moving to what was promised to be a flat Spain! Nice looking old town!

Yep more steps. and more to the Castle and this lovely bit of building. Beautiful ‘window’ over the ocean. All around 1700 I believe but some reading up needs to be done. Some sort of explanation here, dunno what it says. When I see “Inglesia” I generally don’t want to know what the sociopathic ruling elite have done elsewhere Yep still “mostly flat” On the way down my knee let me know it was no longer in its twenties which was annoying but it’s lovely and worth the walk.

And you for copying that picture with your comment

True I had new model production blues with the Ktm... It's all sorted now and I would be comfortable taking it cross country now... The harley was and investment.. I haven't decided wich of the two I will be keeping.....but I can tell you has a touring bike the harley is hard to beat after riding the two for a few months now and comparing them...i know if I sell the ktm I will be loosing more money than the harley... The harley just hold better re sale value. And the harley purchase wasn't cause most of my friends have them... They don't really care what bike I ride and neither do I... We're just old friends going back to the days of high school.... True there are some brand specific riders out there... But it's definitely not my crowded of people..

That’s because you are the forum puff.

Probably it does to you Marcel given the bikes that you have! A new premium brand bike leaking fluids that you have to either repair yourself or transport across the country to get fixed. And the one that you only bought so you could "belong" when you go out with your Harley mates. I just want a reliable bike that works for me......not to try and look the part, or to fit in with any peer group. It's just a Honda... Get over it...

Thanks mate, but it's just the same as I can't understand why people have a bike of 1800cc or more which only does 90mph and that don't go round corners but each to their own

Pete got himself a “hugger” for the winter.

Anyone remember these being advertised back in the day? I remember them coming on the market when the 125 learner laws came in so that people could still ride their 250's on L plates. I flirted with the idea of getting one to put on my XS750 so that I could ride it on L plates as I had it before I passed my test. The insurance quote killed that idea. Plus it was just easy to pass the test back then (1984).

Do bike rides count too? From today:

Brit outraged by google maps, the lying arses! If they’d been realistic I would have taken bloody water bottle with me. Heyho. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice.. ah shoot yer I fell for it again

Still too much walking for me!

Does getting off the bike to walk to a gate opening it then riding the bike through and walking back to close it count cos that's about all the walking i do when out on the bike

About four foot.

There used to be a guy in Bristol had one fitted to a Honda Superdream. I think the expression was something like 'wtf is that' when we used to see him about.

Ideal for carrying a DBM.

Well…..not exactly

I do appreciate they are comfortable to a point but they are definitely not for me, and 120 is 2nd gear on the busa

Or you could stay off the pies.

To be honest I seriously considered buying a CB500X. Good bike and I am partial to a Honda.

and it’s gay.

It not just that Pete... You make it sound like it's the bike of the century... Comparable to the big BMW and ktm super adventure and Ducati multi.... It's just a Honda... Get over it...

I sing in a male voice choir, I am a boy there Like Gods waiting room most practice nights

......and he'll say "not that fucking Cockney cunt again".

Haven't you seen the grief I've had since I bought it? When @Tango had one nobody said a word.......soon as I got one everybody lost their minds!

Tune it or you are a homo.

I'm not, been a slap head for to many years to care anymore. One of my darling daughters reckons I look like a tortoise who has lost his shell in the pic below
