Pedro

I don’t know, Pete, I’d rather face the desert than that horrible weather, cold and rain, and muddy laybys I see on their reports!

Maybe move this to the motorcycling section to avoid getting lost in all the inane drivel? it’s a possible solution to the fuel crisis, afterall, should go and have a talk to the UN, there’s a Portuguese there that’s taken in high regards. I’ll keep adding fuel just out of respect for the owner’s manual, and every km it does without stopping only strenghthens my theory.

You know, an adventurer needs all the help when exploring the moon like he does. It’s instant death if the bike falls over! That does look handy for grocery shopping, though, I wonder if they do a longer travel version!

I just wondered if my bike can run forever without adding fuel. It’s done 93000km and never quit running, so there’s no proof that it in fact doesn’t work if I don’t keep adding fuel to the tank.

I just went and clicked on the laughing button again!

Would bicycles not be a less painful option for you? Or don’t they interest him? you can still chat while riding leisurely

Newsflash, brit is outraged to find out there are hills and steps after moving to what was promised to be a flat Spain! Nice looking old town!

I'm far from a Triumph fanboy, but there are good looking bikes there!

Not just any Vespa, it’s got white sidewall tires, white wheels, white flames, an ugly light, and a matching white leather case, it’s the Justin Bieber edition! Really, it is!

I will admit: I have had some wine I have taken into account Saul's themed "2am creepy squint looking down at computer screen selfie while wife is asleep" and "boys choir" comment and I will now behave as I have grown and am aware that all I say is not funny the next day

You lost your mind, nobody really cares. It's got what a Honda really had, it's easy and balanced and nice.

Right, well, enjoy it dude!

Pretty brave to post that here.

Don't worry yourself with Pete "the forehead" 's comments!

The real truth about the CB500X ... that's a little misleading... Makes people think you'll understand the meaning of life when you ride one or that there's a big conspiracy about them, it's just a slow and well balanced Honda like many before it. I have a friend who ordered (with the paying of moneys) a new CB500S here in Portugal, in Lisbon. They have been getting delays on the arrival of bikes, firstly arriving in July, then August, then changed to September, then maybe November, but now it should arrive any day now. Exciting times!

Homemade in Canada means start from a can? This is not going to be 20 posts to mix canned sauce with tomatoes and potatoes, is it? Putain! (get it? it was a joke!)

I though a permit was a driving license, is it not? Some styles of illegal parking here takes points from your driving license points, same as other driving offenses. Same as driving without insurance, IPO (MOT to you), etc

You'll be going really fast except to the cops.

a what?

I once did that. There's this joke I once read on a magazine in Sweden, it's so funny that I almost crashed my car several times trying to tell it to my brother on our way to Germany. Eventually I managed, but not driving anymore.

I don't know, but they were right!

Fit a big rear sprocket, reallllllllllllllly big

I would be springing for a nice Rukka suit and hoping not to die.

What do you mean they were unloved? Did you just "love" them?

Well, you say that, but you just went and got a Hayabusa, get a nice CB500 or Himalayan instead... No joke though, don't you need your license to earn a living?
