a quick google search for "Varese International Six Day race in 1951"

That's common in a lot of older villages and city areas, even big cities.

Which one do you mean? The one before the cobblestones wasn't bumpy, just a couple of jumps. The cobblestones are ancient, time did that. The forrest road after that is how forrest roads get in Portugal, distorted from tree roots below. There is a reason why "adventure" bikes have been popular in Portugal since forever, road surfaces! Thanks, but they'll stay colorless and black for now, they do look nicer than in that video in person. The bike is filthy from winter and mud.

Some do get a normal amount of people here, I stay clear of those when they're busy.

I like that a lot. 50km is what you need to get your head straight. I need my 50 to 75km ride, it's like a fix.

made a video of it:

...and made a video of it Watch at the expense of your time. Can't say it's something I would recommend if I didn't spend a ton of time editing it myself Camera angles aren't satisfying to me, it's a learning curve. Plus the battery died and didn´t record the best parts, which annoyed me no end, also a learning curve as I've got an hour of filming boring shit.

I, for one, can't imagine doing 200.000 miles in one bike and not growing to love it. If something does me the service of providing a good service I get attached to it.

Hey @MooN and @Sir Fallsalot, on the 31st I´ll just consider the last picture posted on this thread, ok?

Very cool muddy pictures, something very cool about riding through what are slippery paths on foot but are grippier on knobbies. BTW, is that a chubby front tire on the CRF? Looks balloony.

What do you mean retirement?

Don't be daft!

I wouldn't be online if it wasn't for this place, gave up on participating on other forums, and deleted facebook a long time ago.

Not when it’s an economic one

They do look sweet, but do you think that would be a smooth bike for road trips?

No need to delete pictures, just leave them and I will just consider the latter submission

A lot of them were just construction stopped midway and never lived in. In 2008 you had complete neighbourhoods with hundreds of nice homes in construction and everything stopped and left to fade away in a blaze of bankruptcy. Back then it was easy to spot them from the motorway on the outskirts of big cities. The bubble just burst.

No, it’s wet lol but no, it’s rich and velvety and sort of fruity. But not old like a reserve, it’s a simple wine.

That’s what you want. Love what you have and not have what you love. What’s with the ruins and unfinished construction, though?

I like!

You pick your fights, Tym Pretty sure Michelle will have everyone beat this month, though

The mighty GS, carrying 3 bottles of wine accross the Lisbon wine country on a dirt road, on Christmas eve.

It was pretty great, not really a hardcore thing to do

Guys and galls, It's Christmas day, today starts our final 2020 BOTM picture submission thread. This will end on the 31st, at which point the vote will start. As always, your bike, on a picture taken this month, out on a ride.

End of month, Pete, it’s the current statutes!
