Pedro

Pretty cool to have sand compact enough to ride a bicycle on.

Study harder next time, Pete. You're either on the computer talking to your online friends or riding the motorcycle!

Just put the washing on, today I'll go the supermarket in the old E30. It's starting to get cold now, although it's clean blue skies. In the afternoon I'll pack the bike and maybe having a friend over for dinner tonight. Tomorrow I'll head south leasurely, for a few days.

Your Bike, Out, Landscape format

Bike Of The Month, Bike. Come on.

Bike hasn’t moved in two years, Phil, and it’s not yours now. Maybe change to one of the blue one out somewhere?

My submission today, but I am counting on replacing it before the 27th.

Looks like the topbox is open in the shade but closed in reality. VAMPIRE TOPBOX?

Look at this, I got the month right and everything this time. EDIT: and yes, I went to double check after posting the thread

I can tell by the general mood over the last few days that the tension is building up, everyone is surely eager and waiting for November's BOTM. This is easily understood since Motorcycle Rider's BOTM is growing to be a pretty coveted title all over the internet You can all now submit your November BOTM entries in this thread. Simple and few rules, as always: your bike somewhere, taken this month, on an horizontal picture. Have at it, you can post whatever you might consider to be your entry and then post another one later on, only the last entry will be considered by me. I will start the vote thread sometime around afternoon / evening on the 27th, time might be uncertain so consider that as the deadline for submissions.

Get your finger out, get a coffee flask, go for a spin, and take a picture.

Don't worry guys, you've got November Bike Of The Month to look forward to. Submissions will start tomorrow, and as always it'll be such an exciting event it'll lift your spirits high above mundane issues like politics and existencial dispair.

Yes, ok, but cod is caught far away, or not?

Portugal’s TET is harder than what I would want to do on my bike, I think. I’m more of a leasure touring on rough roads.

Good stuff. I was looking up stuff on google maps a few days ago and somewhere in your area looked interesting: Calar de Santa Barbara. Seems there's a couple of kms of uphill dirt road to make it interesting.

I had them on a bap for lunch, really liked them. They did stink and made for interesting for a couple of hours, luckily the weather was nice and I rode with the helmet open most of the time

I did, fish and ships, twice. Might not really be british fish though. Oh yes, and smoked kippers, that I really liked and were from the IOM.

Feeling like crap today, I might have a bit of a bug, had dinner yesterday and it was hard to keep it down. I am now sat outside having a hot tea like an old woman. Every sip feels like it upsets my stomach. After arriving home I got a big broom and got to work on the back of the house, between newly formed soil from decaying leaves and olives there were three bin fulls of stuff, got too tired from doing that so do think they are related. Will sit a bit having the rest of my tea then watch tv, but might wash the bike in the afternoon if the day brightens up a little. I do plan on going for a multi day ride sometime next week and you can’t leave on something like that with an already dirty bike!

Are you keeping the blue one?

Sad times. What was the mileage on her?

The blue one with the Dakar decor does look very nice in person. Only think lacking, to me, would be tubeless wheels. Edit: You should get one, the only way you would top the CB500 flack you get here would be by having a bike with a pink stripe on it

Great series!

Google: Almost all motorcycles that have been produced since 2007 are ULEZ compliant. Motorbikes meeting Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5 or Euro 6 standards will be exempt.

I know nothing about Spanish bikes, but it does say Antorcha Special on the side of it
