Stupidity is sometimes fun to watch, but I think a warning might be in order just out of being nice to each other. Safety wise, I would think twice about posting a single picture online containing your name, full address, vin number, phone number, etc, @Marcel. I cropped the picture to protect you from yourself

You really are dumb as rocks.

That’s some master mechanic you are, good thing you bought a bike simple enough you can service yourself! All the servicing will have to be done by me, putting these posts in the proper thread.

My bike’s suspension needed nothing at 60,000km. I chose to buy new shocks, everything is still going strong now at over 150000 including Saharan sand trails, Moroccan Atlas rocky trails, and Portuguese offroad, almost half with a passenger for 150000, you ride down the motorway to park 40 km away from facing any females in a rally in the US on your dresser for 60000 and need a rebuild? I’d rather have a Harley or a Goldwing, but any GS would do better anyway!

Do you think people are having trouble submitting just one picture?

The world is fucked, everything is shit now, you’re right. That’s why I send you this picture from the Douro today.

They don’t, except if you go luxury really. I don’t care, though, and 28 hours sounds like hell sitting on a chair. The cabins are spacious if you only use one bed, I had a lovely trip coming here. Way better than the one me and Sofia had going from Santander to Plymouth. Also, get one with a window, made it really enjoyable! Big difference, between using the trip to come out of the boat fresh and rested compared to broken.

What are you? writing a book?

A normal cabin, beds, shower, etc

27 or 28 hours

My last night in Cork tonight, but this is definitely my vibe! Tomorrow will be leaving my friends here to sleep near Rosslare, and the following morning hopping on the ferry to Spain. The plan now is to barely put a foot down in Spain and head straight to Portugal for dinner with @Sofia

You better disregard the baiting, and in case of Marcel you’re debating MAGA. Better break out the sticks and stones, if you’re expecting him to understand you.

No you're not.

You’re like a broken record, Marcel

He was very fast. We deleted the video not embarrass you.

You should decide if you like being here or not, Marcel. Deleting your content for the second time makes you look insane, some here post stuff high or drunk (mea culpa) but you bring it up to another level, open up if you’re unhappy and need a friendly word, if there ever were times when this place turned from a lions den into a friendly embrace was when people needed a little support. All the limits on your activity are a result of your imposition on everyone’s enjoyment of the forum. This was my only public comment on this.

That’s how trade tariff wars work, it’s bullshit to people who want to buy something. But on the other hand, Marcel’s bike is going to gain value. The KTM because it’s a classic, not the other one with the cracked castings.

I will be staying with friends who are locals, if it rains too much there’s good food and a pub. There are worse things.

Tomorrow morning I ride off cross Northern Portugal, heading into Spain heading into Ireland. Here, I am looking at 40ºC, obviously hot and very dry, will probably be very warm coming back as well. In Ireland, South and South East, I will probably be in very wet conditions and not very warm, I might not be against it if the friends I'm visiting decide to stick to the inside of a pub. I just unpacked my bags to pack everything again later, what works here doesn't work there so I might break my rule abut luggage and bring an extra bag with proper touring boots and pants, plus visor with pinlock, to wear overseas instead of having to do rain over pants and over boots. I hate an extra bag to carry around but it might be worth it. Also maybe space to bring back a souvenir with the extra bag.

That’s a Jimmy Hoffa, they both vanish but it’s different

He had one thread worth posting, he deleted it, he might be trying to do a Keyzer Soze

Here was me wondering what I had done by mistake, when all along the mistake was someone allowing Marcel near the internet.

Look at her, hasn’t been started or moved in weeks but ready to go on friday! It’ll be a full day of small roads on a heat wave, to have dinner by the border before going to Bilbao.
