By far the only option that makes any sense, take your time through the Picos, see the country, that's a proper trip. Edit: maybe not leave home with a gps map of the whole way and instead follow your nose, and head back north via Portugal if you want to make it great...

You could not do it, if you want to be a square.

Oh, yes, @XTreme Please change the picture but leave the thread open

And the vote is closed, but the thread remains open because that's how I rule, anarchy! Congratulations @Sofia

If you want a low seat comfy tourer you want a lowered GS. Handling is slower than a tall one, but as a bike to carry luggage over all sorts of roads nothing beats it. Buy a good looking late 2015 / 2016 one, it’ll be ok.

He’s trying to avoid meeting you, I fear!

Yes, you’re both very special.

So, any Honda then Crosstourers are nice, but very heavy.

I struggle to imagine that the same person would be comfortable on both a CB500F and an Africa Twin, more so if it’s the taller ones from a few years ago.

I would, but if your CB500 is perfect for your roads an Africa Twin will feel large and top heavy in comparison. What would you gain from one?

I'll have to factor in three of four errors in for the October one. This was never as much fun when I was doing it every month.

I'll tag you when it's over. Or, judging by my proficiency in this vote, I'll tag @ Bruce.

Keep up Pete, it'll be over tomorrow. Only to start again in a month's time. We're like rats in a maze.

I'll be around on wednesday, Bob

At least this is making it a group effort, think of it as team building, companies pay money for this shit.

I think we can all (me particularly) learn from these errors and grow as a person, and create a better BOTM for October. Indeed the poll was scheduled to close right now, but it's open for another day like I said it would.

I’m sure if you tell him there will be a group of cocksuckers arriving to town he’ll release his T700, just don’t show him pictures and speak in genderless english.

It was supposed to last until tomorrow evening, Bob. I didn’t plan a coup d’etat, honest!

Steve McQueen did the same on a Benz 300SL during the filming of The Great Escape, being chased by cops into the film set. He must have been better than your neighbour, or more famous.

850 miles isn’t enough. He just told you it doesn’t have any torque compared to the GS, so let him forget about the BMW and awake the next morning thinking about reliability.

How obsessive must you have to be to keep something looking like that while still riding it?

Lack of water is worrisome, if you consider that reservoirs in Cantabria looked dry as they did when I passed three weeks ago, it's a surprise you have any at all. Beautiful sky, though. Let me help you out with the picture below: Here, much better:

On a completely sad mistake from me, I have again edited this poll to include Bob's DR650. I'm sorry and will do better next month, you've got until the end of day today to adjust your votes accordingly. Buckster isn't looking too bad now, is he?

I'm very sorry dude, complete fail on my part.
