Not motorcycles, but guaranteed to be top motorsports. If you want to see it live, the race starts at 15:30 And also an onboard view of my favourite car by my favourite driver. Kevin Estre is going to start from back in the field and it's surely going to be an interesting first hour.

Who isn't? It's Europe, not Arabia, you can't sensor boobs!

We don’t like boobs now?

Great evening yesterday, went out to dinner with an old friend, and got home at 2 something. Woke up feeling great, and went for a walk with Costa in the woods, then washed my bike and went on a little ride around my hometown to warm it up and get everything dry. Few things beat riding around with an open helmet and a tshirt in perfect 22° weather, stopped at the abandoned part of the runway for a picture. Then had a great lunch of fresh mackerel cooked by my mum, and the 24h Nurburgring starts in a bit. Looking forward to Kevin Estre starting at the back of the grid and making minced meat out of a field of fast cars. Great saturday!

The “love to the family” at the end always cracks me up!

Horizontal pictures!

Actually, if you got on the 222 like on your picture, I think you missed the one I recomended. It's still a great road, and like you say, nice corners and good tarmac.

I actually went to see if they were no longer a V. They should make it 270º in something though, can't have a spec sheet without 270º

I actually don't know where I got that from

I'll wash the GS

Never mind that, when they start a proper building in a city they obviously have to dig deep for the foundations and underground garages and whatever, that goes on for weeks and those construction fans, usually retired older men, peek holes through the fence to investigate the progress, it's quite the show apparently!

You know they will, and considering the rain you've got over the next few days...

The guy at the Portuguese dealer says Honda call that a light bar, not a crash bar. Honestly, looking at it in person I think some of the lower engine only bars they have are plenty enough for a tumble offroad. I wouldn't bother with the ugly ones that go in front of the bike. The exhaust being that low isn't the worse part, there's a sump going almost as low as that on the other side of the exhaust, that would be the primary source of bother, I would say a nice aftermarket engine protection bar and a cover will be fine enough for this bike though, there will be plenty, plus it's a touring bike with non pavement ability, not an enduro bike. I've got a gripe with them having the engine made in China though, for that alone I would rather buy a used pre-lcd Africa Twin with the Japanese engine for myself, if I ever were to buy a Honda, even if it ends up being more money than a new one of these.

I quite liked that video.

I don´t think that's a he either, Bob

It wouldn't if you come from a small country. Here you have to stop before the next corner to look at the scenery.

The hypocrisy of brands being involved in these "charity" projects bewilders me. Just write a fucking cheque to whatever charity it is and proclaim moral superiority instead of getting a cheap bike, hiring an artist to appeal to the hipsters, and then using that as publicity to present an urban image. At the end the hospital will receive half of whatever was spent on the whole shitshow. Unless someone actually forks up proper hospital making money for that thing, in that case viva Ducati.

The scenery is great, but what gets me is that it goes on for 60 miles.

Yes, I really rely on mine and it's been good so far.

I'm quite curious about someone else other than me doing a ride report on Portugal, more so after coming from Spain. You twats can wait until the part where the bike goes kaput.

Fucks sake, give it up already, salt on the wound you are. Are you on commission from Honda?

It's "croquetas", they fry a similar thing to a thick béchamel sauce. In Portugal, "croquetes" are similarly fried meat balls, just one of the many things in which we are vastly superior.

How is the range calculation on that thing?

People overestimate what a big trip means to a vehicle. Going from Portugal to Germany and back is 5000km, any vehicle can do that. It's way more tortuous to do a third of that distance sat in a garage and going for coffee one every 6 sundays over 5 years.
