It is. Use that as a guide but if you go for it I’ll point you towards a couple of roads.

Below I present this year's 7 candidates to Bike Of The Year. @boboneleg's Yamaha WR250X: @Buckster's Harley Davidson FLHX Street Glide: @Nute's Indian FTR1200: @Pedro's BMW R1200GS Adventure: @Sir Fallsalot's Honda XR400R: @Six30's Yamaha XT660R: @Sofia's Triumph Speed Triple R: You have one vote, that you can change until 24:00 on the 31st December, by which time the poll will automatically close.

I am, but I wouldn't call that a route. All they wanted was to make it 700km, as far as a motorcycling route those wouldn't be my picks, maybe ok as a general tourism route joining eventual points of interest. What would you like to know?

Not yet, but you’re obviously a contender. I’ll start it tomorrow evening, was too busy today.

Showing a friend around the area:

New date, this will be moved a day forward, vote will be set on the 29th night.

I wonder if we should let this go until the 29th, is anyone riding on sunday and going for a picture?

You could, but sadly there's the BOTY yearly tantrum happening.

Might not have been clear Bob, but you're limited to one picture only. Not per bike but as in one entry.

It’s a bike you currently own, as always. And horizontal pictures too.

It can’t

Bit harsh to be told I was the biggest twat of the forum this year. My feelings are a little hurt. I’ll try to get over it over lunch.

Saul, in your defence, dying is a hard act to follow.

You twats!

So, Bike Of The Year is almost upon us and the world is watching! This is a clean slate for 2024, winner takes all. You can submit one horizontal picture, of a bike you currently own, taken on a ride in 2024. Feel free to submit one now, or if you submit more than one picture I will just consider the last one you post. I'll close this thread on the evening of the 28th, to then start the poll.

That wasn’t what I was asking about

Cold enough that on some shady corners I dreamt of gay tires.

It’s potato tortilla and tuna salad. I find it disturbing to have milk and coffee with that

You. It´s like catching crabs! No, there is oil inside the engine. I can see it through a little window

Been riding the GS, it's done a few miles now, mostly easy main roads. The little vent valve is off and the breather hole is open so that any remaining oil from inside the suspension arm can freely come out. The shaft is lubed inside, so I don't want to clean the inside of if with aggressive stuff like brake cleaner to not take lubrication and protection out of the shaft knuckles. So far, it's looking nice. I'll try and remember to fit the rubber breather valve in before it rains properly.

No it's not. It's dry as can be. I know because I checked Tomorrow I'll leave in the AM and meet @JustaPor for a chat and lunch on my favourite hilltop cafe. Then ride over to @Sofia's for a few days. Now, just relaxing while the fire keeps the cold outside.
