The bars do look sweet, @Tym

Don’t worry about it, it’s rain and dirt combined

I love canned fish, but isn’t Auxerre a big enough town to have at least a couple of markets selling freshly caught fish? It does surprise me. I really like the colour of your bike, and it seems so suited to the riding you do, lovely places!

Are you saying all people riding Suzukis are annoying internet little yapping heel biting twats, Tym? Not fair to Suzuki riders, in my opinion, there’s Travis Pastrana, Ricky Carmichael and Kevin Schwantz, and probably a lot more too...

@Sofia has news concerning the Speed Triple...

You’re just a repetitive savage!

He just finished his dinner, which included beef, and is looking into the kitchen as some meat is being marinated for tomorrow’s lunch. Couldn’t care less for olives!

Good stuff!

That’s proper clean dirt, not a spec of dust on a black bike!

That’s a pretty kitchen, I’m in awe if that lamp over the stove also filtrates the cooking smells and vapor Might be for not cooking in, though...

That looks very interesting and more like an old school government building than individual houses.

So how did the ktm350 dude do afterall? Looks like you properly missed being out getting muddy.

Were you camping later on? I ask because that looks like way too much luggage each bike is carrying. Amazing stuff, just great. Did the red bike crack the valve cover? There is a track I am going to try on the GSA in Morocco that must have some soft sand, I'm pretty intimidated by the thought of it to be honest.

My place is at one of Portugal's hottest places. Today we got a sudden wind from North Africa blowing a warm dust storm from the Sahara, it went from a warm 23º yesterday to a 32º today. Washed the bike and took it for a short ride to dry it right after lunch while it was heating up:

I completely forgot about this, or indeed that it was the end of the month Have been having a couple of weird days, sorry. Maybe it's best if you don't count on me for a couple of months to do this. Here is my submission for this month, a freshly washed motorcycle, very much not like what it is looking like today all bug splattered

Because topboxes

Hard packed, smooth, grippy dirt? That road, please!! Your reports make me want to go to France.

Bike looks sad with that trunk on top As if this wasn't enough: Now:

It would be cheap to run compared to fuel costs of driving there and back to shovel snow, just plumb the school's heating through the stairs and it'll work perfectly.

I vote for heated steps, then.

I am sure it is a silly idea, but I'll ask anyway. Why not just put a carpet over that snow and have the kids walk over it? Then roll it back up for the night and do the same the next day?

Never look a gifted horse in the mouth?

I have no confidence at all in taking my bike on sand. Never had good tires for it, either, but that heavy front wheel scares me. What a great ride this is, keep posting. The bikes, the food, baja, just great. The sunsets, though, you´ll still have sunsets if you make it to the hotel before dark
