Pedro

You know him?

Should have focused on the sky right above the horizon. I bet it didn’t look white like that in reality.

I followed him, until he came to Portugal and made an entire video of himself and a friend destroying dunes by the beach. I don’t tolerate that shit The sands of Leiria laid waste to his clutch and he limped back to France, I was happy with that

Strangers holding hands and praying in the street? I love it, shows that although the roads and everything look like some parts of Europe, it really is different to what happens here.

You’ll pretend it wasn’t a factor?

Good for the passenger?

Nothing like 42° to make you forget about longing for warmth

That’s how you do it and make it look shit!

Is it muddy or is that all corrosion? I think that rear brake lever might be made in China!

He proves you can be one of the greatest riders, fierce and very committed, but a twat as well. Being a twat is not connected to being a genius , plus, if everyone has been telling you you’re the greatest ever since you’re 15, you’re likely to go and believe it.

Nice roads around that area?

Very cool!

Eric it’s got a monster puppet in it, it’s great.

That is how you customise a bike and make it look classy as hell!

Or, talking practical, a big scooter, like those that look like a mini goldwings. They must be great for really bad weather.

How about an older RT or PanEuropean? Perfect for bad weather and lovely for a passenger

His hand cream…

You left your hammer at home …

The Hornet is the bike for commuting, modern handling and safety plus frugal. If you’re getting something else get something to take your daughter for a coffee once a week.

having said that, @Saul, I think a CBR1100XX or VFR would make for a great going to work bike, as does an R1200 of the road kind, or k1300, ABS, heated grips and shaft!, plus comfy for riding with your little one? We can make a fake thread reaching whatever conclusion you want, if you want something to show the wife …

It's a page straight out of Enzo Ferrari's book, Ducati is even more cruel to riders than Honda is/was. They couldn't give a shit if the guys are happy and working together or not, if they win out of hatred they couldn't care less

Octanes are measured differently in the US and here.

Live just now: It's cool stuff!

6 weeks isn't a lot of time for fuel to go bad, though.

I see the Glowing is growing on you, taking for a solo ride instead of the Super Tenere? I saw snow even last month, and I'm in Portugal
