That's vertical. That's horizontal. Nicely done, Marcel!

I ended up giving mine a wash, and a 30 minute ride around the neighborhood too warm it up and get the water out of the nooks.

Here is the picture submission thread for Bike Of The Year 2025. Anyone can enter regardless of this year's BOTM previous winners. You can enter one horizontal picture of a bike you currently own, out on a ride in 2025. Don't worry about cleaning up the thread if you post more than one picture, I will consider the last one you post. On the 27th's afternoon/evening the vote will start, and submissions will have ended.

Spending Christmas with my mum and my brother, just us three tonight. Day after tomorrow meeting with Sofia for a few days, and would like to take the bike and spend a full day to get there. Thinking of washing it in a bit, it's dirty from rain on the motorway and it's sunny out, but chilly so might not do it. I'm embarrassed to be on the same forum as @Saul

What makes you think the other one someone else is selling for cheap won't have the same issues?

That’s like the water deciding not to be wet

There was only ever going to be a sure winner, but you weren’t nominated.

I got no issue with space savers like that, but it’s a good habit to have to check they’re a little over inflated with every oil change. The ones you have to inflate to use, those are a proper pain in the ass.

You'll get it done, Ace!

Rough idle from now on?

Maybe a job for when it’s warm and … nevermind, do it by the fireplace.

That’s a pie ... When you go to a restaurant and order food, I bet it’s always a surprise when it arrives at the table.

Well, now you have to wait until the next flounce, now there’s precedent

Considering this, and when you think of a twat pain in the ass in this forum you think of Marcel. Nobody tries as hard as him to be nominated. So, my nomination is for @Buckster, the guy who allowed Marcel back after he flounced and left the first time.

Great, you can explain it to Marcel then

Do you know what a stew is? A casserole is a pan to use in the oven, a type of food that you sometimes cook in a pan like that, also in the oven.

Does anyone on here know what a casserole is?

No

In Portugal, because of the sound a traditional 50cc scooter makes, we call them vacuum cleaners. That’s what that looks like, a vacuum filter

It's looking very nice now, great transformation! I can't unsee that it looks like it's pretending to be a Harley once you cover it:

It's a super bike so speed is relative. What I liked was the cop messing with them

The Isle of Man is a lovely place to visit:

don't forget MD's and M&S
