You’ll see, next month there will be a huge volume of great pictures of motorcycles in scenic locations under big skies. Even the lord is giving us the weather. I got inside knowledge from a source that even @Slowlycatchymonkey will take a picture. It’ll make AdvRider pale with shame.

I can’t hold my enthusiasm with expectations about what great pictures are going to be submitted in the next few hours!

Lovely landscapes and views, they are landscapes to me, to Pol Tarrés they are a playground. The dude must save a lot on money on front tires too. The voice over is a bit cheesy, but the way he handles that Tenere makes up for it. The bit at 4:19 ...

My brother had one as a company car in Poland, it was a tdi with 4wd, very nice to drive around in snow and all around the kind of car that grows on you and you then miss it. It drove all the way to Portugal and back to Warsaw for Christmas.

Gave the bike a wash, then another one, then another one. It's looking oldish now, the mix of british wet roads and spanish motorway bugs was disgusting. Then washed the luggage, and the jacket is in the washer. A friend of Sofia gave us a little bit of a spice mix they use in Jordan, and now my rain overalls smell very exotic! Where is the "Pete washing machine" smilie when you need it?

Swimming might be a bit too much cardio for someone who isn't used to it, too, you'll be finished in 5 minutes. Looking forward to the walk/cycle reports

You think someone around here is squealing that you had it tuned?

Still hoping for an enhanced sunset to bring this back to the golden days before all this negativity arrived.

Stop asking questions and just go take one of your 15 bikes out for a tide and take a picture. 1 picture!

Gives him a chance to go out by himself and see the views… I mean the menus, on restaurants…

He’s got the door open. If I do that the black parts of my bike get dusty! I love a clean bike, just hate washing them.

Class! And that’s a proper clean bike!

Tomorrow's the weekend, and it's sunny...

26 pounds is 11kg. My 2015 R1200GS Adventure is supposed to be 260kg with fuel, a 2021 R1250GS Adventure is supposed to be 268kg with fuel, so basically they added 8kg with adding clever valve wizardry. They now go through all that effort and revolution to drop 11kg, and that includes a lithium battery that by itself saves a good 2 or 3kg? In effect their revolution makes the ultra light new bike similar in weight to my bike, and ditching a steel rear frame for a pressed sheet one? I see a revolution in profit margins, that what I see

I'll be washing the bike, and maybe going over to Porto and give Emerson Fitipaldi a hand shake, because that's how I roll.

It still has to be an horizontal picture, though. Do you find those mirrors cumbersome passing cars in traffic? Sofia hates hers.

I like this one with the horses.

That never stopped Pete before

@Six30, you´re welcome to join in, with a picture from September Maybe try and win it, just to mess with the tantrum boy.

She was lucky, it's dog poo...

@Saul, @Sofia, @Clive, @Renegade, get in. @Sir Fallsalot, how about rejoining? Clean slate and all.

I'm curious about this, they seem to have gotten a little heavier from the 1200 to the 1250 by adding the shift cam weight. Now they make a big revolution all about loosing weight and 26 pounds is all they get? Hmmm

Submit your pictures for September BOTM here, please. Due to the short notice I'll run this thread until tomorrow night at 21:00 UK time and then voting will be done until the 01st October 21:00 UK Time. Submit more than one picture if you want, for the vote I will only consider the last one you post in this thread of your bike, taken in September. @Marcel, @Skippy, @MooN, @XTreme, @Buckster, @boboneleg, carrying on from Buckster I can consider the pictures he picked, below, if you prefer you are welcome to submit any others maybe not on a patio being washed? Lets all just get along...
