I would consider buying a cbr600 or something like that with narrow bars just for that commute. I do appreciate the ability riders used to ride in London have to filter with inches to spare on each side of the bike, though.

I'll reply just to share on your frustration, although I have nothing really helpful to say.

They're always claiming they're not part of Spain, I think Portugal will take them if they're up for it

Actually...

It'll affect spaniards more, they're the ones that finish dinner at midnight and then go clubbing, brits start drinking way earlier than that and they're pissed by 10 ...

As a curiosity, found this pretty cool!

That bike went offroad, at least once!

You keep acting like you're not leading him on!

some of those seemed too young, though

I know what a curfew is, but doesn't lights out mean literally lights out at home?

Lights out? What do you mean?

Proposal, after every age group is vaccinated and you have vaccines to spare, simply inoculate unsuspecting youths when they’re drunk in clubs, regardless of identity checks, give them a shot of vodka and a beer when they’re starting to complain and all’s well!

I’m calling them all the Brit UEFA strain, to make up for it!

That’s so sad, you would expect that from older people maybe more afraid of side effects, but why would a young person who is virtually incapable of being hurt by a vaccine think they should not take it and become one less factor of contamination? Doesn’t make sense to me.

I suppose the Strom might be cheaper, but they’re so different you might either like one or the other.

If you are going to post a bridge picture in a ride report, post that Bridge!

Are the big bucks finally going to start rolling in?

200 miles, with luggage, cruising in the real world at 90/100mph is not bad at all for the fuel capacity.

So, got to editing this and it ended up too long for most people, still, it's got pretty great views, some of my favourite roads, some castles, the Serra da Estrela in the rain, and much more of my voice over it all ... ... which isn't really a bonus Watch at your own risk, I kinda like it, though

I like that, pretty bike!

Damn right, Pete would ask him if a Welshman took it from him 20 seconds after meeting!

To be honest, I don’t see that drunken violence shit over here. Sure there’s drunks and some of them acting loud, but nothing like that where I go. Somewhere properly not in Albufeira (not too british tourist oriented) and those two would get a baton to the side of the head and an arm twist, with the chance of a proper kicking afterwords. i’m not acting tough at all, the police would do it

The 650 Strom is about to be declared the heaviest bike in the industry. All this weight shit doesn’t mean anything without balance.
