I tested a properly nice one a year or two ago, a real big wheels and suspension mountain bike, wearing jeans and going 25kmh on a slight uphilll, if you've never ridden a normal non assisted bicycle it'll fool you into thinking that's a normal pace. It's like you're spiderman waking up the next morning after being bit by the spider

Actually, although having had roasted baby lamb lots of times, when they're that small and haven't had proper pasture there is no flavor to the meat, it's also got very little texture so not my kind of thing. It's considered a delicacy all over Spain and northern Portugal, though, but the meat does improve a lot after some growth in my opinion. I prefer to eat nice meat that had a chance to live instead of factory farmed. The brains and head (except fish) aren't really a Portuguese thing, though, I've got nothing against eating brain but never have.

This one, by far, makes the bike's lines flow like it's moving.

Something must be lost in translation here, you had blue steak?

It's like People magazine person of the year award, by your logic once you win then that same person will be winner forever? To me it's a mix of what the bike is doing in the picture and has done in the month, the bike itself, the scenery, and the picture itself too. You do you, though, and post a low resolution picture of the bike parked between a gas station lavatory door and a dumpster on your way to buy the wife tampons, we're all alike in the eyes of the lord

A hamburguer, a meat patty sandwich, but, with enough garlic or cilantro I’ll go for anything

English police are so different to the rest of the world!

Off for a burguer for lunch, and home early to lounge for the afternoon and evening. This is turning out to be a nice weekend.

Nice scenery too!

Had a nice ride today, weather was really overcast and grey so pictures didn't turn out great. Codfish is in the oven now, I'm starving.

Properly laughing here!

Ditch her, when she goes to the ladies room on a service station somewhere in Germany ... Just turn the Citroen's go dial to 11 and blast off

Thank you, that's just hilarious! One of those laughing yellow guys on the bottom of the post wasn't enough, I loved that!

Even smarter, I've never met her and I'm not looking forward to it either She must be really hot though, surely there's something to her...

It's done 3000 kms and 4 oil changes ...

I see your work Pete, you evil genius

Sounds like he's the smart one ...

If there's no ride report, everyone will just assume you were stuck on a dry mud hole and did nothing else all day...

Watch out, you don’t want to mess wit him, he’s a really scary dude

Probably emissions in a couple of years time? Rear cylinder heat issues with the fairing/tank? I'm very curious.

That dude's hair! What the fuck?

Tomorrow I shall take Costa out for a little walk in the morning, and then getting on my bike and riding home. It's a 2,5 hour motorway ride but I've got a feeling it'll take way longer than that as I'll check out some smaller roads that look twisty on the map. Unless the weather is shitty. Ducati is currently touring Portuguese dealers with a couple of DesertX bikes for showing them off and they're close by today, but I'm resisting going to see them as the local dealership is so unfriendly. I am tempted to give one a proper look in a few months once they're out though, what you think of that engine @boboneleg?
