Never mind that, seniority doesn’t count here, just post a ride report of some sorts and you’ll be way ahead of anyone that came from that other forum. So far Rich has posted a picture of his bike behind some alley, Six has posted a picture of his bike next to an old opel corsa, and Clive has posted a picture of when he went to buy a loaf of bread. They’re making it easy for you!

I don’t wear a mask on the street, rules here is that it’s mandatory unless you can maintain health distances, and I’m more than happy to stay away from people

Best scenario possible for that or any other sudden thing to happen. With top notch medical staff on standby 100 meters away and all the medical care on hand. Have that happen to you in the middle of the night, and you’re fucked.

@XTreme, @skyrider low seat height as well...

That hasn’t been a known job in Portugal up until a few years ago, and even then not as well paid as there. I fid read a couple of good books written by guys who did work as motorcycle couriers in London, so it’s a little mythical to me

A motorcycle courier in London? Bet you have a few stories to tell

I like this video, first the guy won't get out of the car, then the dog gets in and he tries to get out, and the puppy says: "where you going? come back here!"

Weather is looking kind of shit, and also I can't bring myself to do anything except wait days to pass.

I like those cones, just provide a nice barrier between myself on the wrong lane and all the cars stuck behind the cones I appreciate it's a different atitude towards traffic management, here and there, though.

Clearly!

How do you know it's ugly?

Probably a small house amongst many in a steep hill, like a favela or similar. Easy enough to walk off from a path onto someone's rooftop. Obviously hooves aren't the best feet you can have for walking on clay tiles

Should have gotten a nice BMW or Harley ...

Can’t ride a car, can you?

Empathy, Pete!

Except yours stays at home so sounds like silence...

Fucking Brazil!

There will be a donation collection thread, though, to pay the poor bastard who gets you next, somewhere in Essex or Milton Keynes or wherever

Just so you cast aways know, if you fuck off somewhere else there won’t be a thread worrying if you’ve been stolen ...

I know it sounds too modern for this forum, but I hope your dick is feeling ok now, @yen_powell

Thanks, Pete. Yes, older parts of town are usually cobblestone, although they modernize the roads and streets with faster traffic. Plenty of towns and cities in Portugal, Spain, France and Italy have them though.

How do you know it goes ok? Is it the bike starting or not once the alarm is out?

Mainly to keep myself entertained, I continued to edit a few videos of my ride from North Portugal to the Algarve. The end results are not what I would have liked, I ended most days with no battery left on the camera, mostly from filming boring shit or leaving the camera on while having lunch , and somehow lost some footage. To top it, I lost a piece of my mounting system and ended the trip with a crap camera location. It was quite frustrating to edit, but I "helped" by narrating. Center, starting in Serra da Estrela, including a short walk in Piodão, and more rain before the Alentejo: Alentejo, Alter do Chão through to Estremoz's Castle, and sleep in Monsaraz Plans weren't followed this day, there's a swimming pool, though: The Algarve, the end of the trip deserved more than just a short clip of some twisties, I failed with the camera:

who the hell sticks their hands into something like that with the device turned on?
