  1. I can, but that wouldn’t even get the GS warm enough to open the radiators. I’ll be visiting Sofia in Ericeira and enjoying a couple of bottles of wine instead, with the bike parked for the period.
  2. We will be locked in as well, starting tonight until tuesday.
  3. Today I rode from my home in the countryside to Ericeira in the seaside. It was a bright sunny day, and felt amazing after the last few days’ storm. A short detour exploring an offroad track, I’ll go back with no luggage as it’s a little bit steep. In light of recent BOTM flops I decided to go for a photo shoot. Onwards, always taking the small roads on the map is a good policy for finding cool spots of road. Lisbon’s wine country is looking great will autumn colours. And then, near Ericeira looking at some big waves.
  4. If it makes you feel any better, it had almost tarmac levels of traction but only lasted for 3 or 5km
  5. A full month? I think that goes to prove what I think is wrong with all our governments. They try to control people and the disease when it's not and allow it to spread when it's the most profitable, be it summer holidays with tourism or Christmas with shopping and food industry. Instead of maintaining the thing under "average" control and countries closed they manage it to let it spread when it satisfies economic lobbies. Managing life vs sales? Fuck them. Is this too politic?
  6. This is the style, is that an expression? Thing with reliability and dependability is that with every month that goes by your chances of a problem increase, no bike will run forever
  7. I just don't get why any grown person would want a kid's bike. Not even fit for purpose as a city commuter in my opinion, maybe as a "going to the beach with a backpack" kind of thing, but then again a small traillie will be better, as a commuter a scooter will also be better and way more practical. I don't understand the sales numbers these bikes apparently get.
  8. Indeed, but sometimes you just feel like having some cheese and red wine after an autumn ride in rural France.
  9. He wasn´t taking about the bike
  10. Have you considered he might be the weirdo
  11. This is getting to be more and more like a proper election
  12. One isn´t a bike, the other isn't either a bike nor was ever ridden (allegedly!). Both belong to him, though, so fair play on that.
  13. To solve the date issue, I'll start making the votes on the last day of the month and give it three days to run. Easier to manage.
  14. Tomos is out, sorry @Tym. Whoever voted for it, you can cast your vote again. The fun!
  15. I think the Tomos shouldn't be considered, but since a couple of members have already voted for it, maybe ask people to change their vote or maybe just not accept it for next month's vote? It's bad enough it has almost won last month before actually being ridden.
  16. I never really caught up when they started changing letters for the sake of it
  17. Indeed, that or simple desertification, agriculture not being profitable enough or simply paid to not grow anything.
  18. I propose that we start counting pictures taken from the start of the poll into the following month's vote, it's better than to miss out on those or changing the polls after votes have been made.
  19. Sorry for the delay, guys and galls, but feast your eyes on October's submissions for Bike Of The Month: @boboneleg's Suzuki DR650 @Grasshopper's Ride's Royal Enfiel Himalayan @MooN's Triumph Tiger800 @Pedro's BMW R1200GSA @Sir Fallsalot's Honda NX650 Dominator @XTreme's BMW G650GS
  20. I didn't get any of this
  21. No need to delete, I'll just consider the last submission.
