I’m curious about these smart vests, particularly for riding outside of the heat season. However, having another piece of clothing to put on before the jacket may be too much hassle to work on most rides.

Long way round!

Forget about independence and freedom, what I don't get is that they try to limit themselves like that. Even if you don't care about bikes or cars, being able to get in a vehicle and drive around is a useful skill.

It is, but I don't understand what an Antifa is. Regardless, it sure is reasuring to know you're on it

I don’t get what you’re on about, but I’m eager to know how it ended

I want to see Buddy the dog on the bike

That’s a lot more than I thought

Good stuff, how many miles would you say you did on those lanes?

For @Earache, this was my lunch, not the typical grilled fish but instead tuna ceviche and oysters

WOW, a thread just for me, thanks as indeed I’m always curious as to what people eat in other places. Chilli is just great

There was a little bit of that thing going on in that table, Pete, he didn't imagine it would be talked about internationally, though!

Yesterday I went to Lisbon and Cabo da Roca, just took a few pictures. Lisbon, my bike in front of a wall of super heros. Went for a coffee there, exactly the place where I used to pick Maria up from work. Then made my way to Cabo da Roca, continental Europe's westernmost place. The roads here are quite famous amongst Lisbon bikers, and quite chaotic in the weekends. I love lighthouses, my absolutely favourite buildings. Great roads, only a little frustrating because of very slow moving tourist traffic in very twisty roads. Lunch was a little too fishy for your tastes, but in a very cool restaurant. I had been feeling like going there for ages and finally did.

I don't think he is, but if indeed he is a cunt, then he's our cunt.

Not bad quality for a camera laying just a couple of inches from the dirt, I'm pretty happy with it except the way I pointed it at the wrong place

ItchyBoots has ridden a lot, but still I can't watch more than 10 minutes of her videos, her voice annoys the crap out of me and the dutch sense of humor isn´t for me. Also, it seems too "youtuber" for me.

it's a very dusty Iphone 8, @XTreme, simply on the floor leaning against some grass and a rock I am happy enough with it's camera, although it's nowhere near as good as my brother's one with that three or four camera cluster

My iphone, I’ll drop this malarkey and give it a go with a gopro next time I’m around these parts

I warn you, do not see unless you have two minutes of your life to go to waste So yesterday I filmed my drive by at Serra de Montejunto, Today, after washing the bike I went for a cold beer at the river, using drying the bike as a fine excuse to go there, decided to amuse myself trying to get another drive by and catch the bike getting a little air in places where it usually leaves the ground, truck traffic didn't make it easy since all I thought was that the phone would get run over Here's the result, first go didn't film where the front wheel lofts, on the second one the phone fell because of the draft draft and missed the second drive past , all in all a great success in wasting some time But, bike was cleaned, black stuff now looks black again And refreshment was had in a nice location

I am a big fan of Ewan McGregor and the way he likes to tour on motorcycles, not really looking for the hardest offroad but still looking to go off the beaten path, I like that. I think people gave Boorman stick for the shows because he really is quite annoying on tv.

That’s ironic because riding the bike today is what brought me from the darkside just now

I was being sort of lazy after lunch, a few work e-mails and then started to think of just staying home snoozing instead of going out for my ride. Made an effort thinking it would be the first time I would be riding my familiar roads with the new suspension. At first thought of visiting a friend but didn't really feel like being with anyone and headed for the hills. On the way up, this is maybe my favourite piece of 2km road in this area, bumpy on tight corners with tree roots lifting the tarmac, unfortunately you can't see any of that in this video: Had a good cup of coffee in my favourite cafe up there, regardless of how hot the weather is at my home, up here under these trees it's always nice. A few bikes turn here on sundays, but it's always calm on week days. Heading back down: Someone left a nice couple of circles, I wouldn't be brave enough to do that here. Back in Azambuja I decided to make this a sort of dark motorcycling themed thing as it was a little to early to go home and I felt like taking a little more advantage of the afternoon, ended up with more of a ruin motorcycling than dark. Went to visit the Palacio das Obras Novas (also known as Palacio da Rainha, queen's palace), this building was erected in the end of the eighteenth century and acted as a control point for ship that used to travel in this canal between Lisbon and Vila Nova de Constancia. They had a hotel or an inn of sorts as support for the steam boat traffic, but since the surrounding area was pretty majestic it attracted important guests for long stays, becoming well know for Kind D.Carlos enjoyment of the place. (There you go, culture!) The road leading to it goes through tomato fields, but the last straight used to be lined with a very impressive row of huge palm trees, all gone now from a palm tree beetle infestation a few years ago: Before the bugs ate the palm trees it used to look like this, not my picture: Riding back, past a few trailers full of tomatoes ready to go for the local tomato juice factory, most of the tomato pulp in Portugal is made here. They might be a little overloaded Made it back home pretty dusty.

It’s their life, had everyone been outside the roads would have been crowded. Pot farmers and distributers need to pay for fuel too!

Great stuff, I loved it. I found those cabins with the wheels on top really cool looking, did the wheels serve any purpose?

Donkeys attack with mountains of cuteness! 63 in a 55 is just silly, glad he understood the error of his ways.
