This reminds me, Adventure Motorcycles Bike Of The Month is run on Lisbon time, because fuck you to the rest of the world. London is on the same time, so as luck had it you are in synch.

Congratulations @Grasshopper's Ride, Bagheera is Adventure Motorcycles' Bike Of The Month for August 2020, a rare but very sought after honor. You have it in you to honor everyone with a few words, if you wish to do so. Don't rest on your laurels, though! September is going to be fierce in competition and so far no-one has kept this title for a second month. Do you think you have what it takes?

To everyone in the world!

What do you mean, we're still in August, how do you know we won't have a surge of people voting on the last few hours? To be honest, all of 11 votes is a little small turnout, I think you need to get on the case and send a notification to members next month, to let people know what's going down.

Did you catch it swimming Bruce?

Great looking sky, Pete, cool pictures

That looks like the kind of offroad I enjoy doing, and some great roads too.

Here are our three contenders for August Bike Of The Month, two Royal Enfield Himalayans and one Triumph Speed Triple. Cast your votes, and let's find out which bike goes on the banner next month. @Grasshopper's Ride's Royal Enfield Himalayan, Bagheera in the lush forrest. @Skippy's Royal Enfield Himalayan, out on the mediterranean coast @Sofia's Triumph Speed Triple RS, on top of a hill with the ocean in the distance.

You are very welcome. I'll close this now, and start the new vote with all three bikes, both Himalayans and the Speed Triple. Couldn't get more diverse.

?

Right now:

Well, bunch of manly bikers and the two bikes most voted are ridden by the two forum regular ladies. If all the rest of us man losers don't get a vote it'll be between the ladies to go for the main vote.

Whiskey trumps opiates?

Maybe he just didn’t like the food served, damn Hitler and his manners

Franco wasn't cool.

Not to be rude, but is that the car? What happened to it?

People, vote starts now, at the end of the 28th we will have the final 3 contenders, and vote on those. We've got a few nice ones this month. Hey @Sir Fallsalot, it´s a Dominator, isn´t it? @XTreme, sticky thread? @boboneleg's Yamaha T700 on a rest in british summer @Grasshopper's Ride's Royal Enfiel Himalayan, Bagheera in the lush forrest @Pedro's BMW R1200GSA overlooking Spain from above @Skippy's Royal Enfield Himalayan by the beach @Tym's Kawasaki GTR Concours, oldschool cool @Tym's Kawasaki KLR on a woods ride @Sir Fallsalot's Honda NX650 Dominator with offroad trim on a typical british road @Sofia's cool Triumph Speed Triple RS on top of a mountain @XTreme's Suzuki VStrom 650 exploring wild Spain.

Good colour for a dusty place too, dust is shit on a shiny black paintwork.

Watch out guys, tonight the primary vote starts, always exciting stuff!

Kid is, as a lot of them also are, really genuine. He was lucky to be picked by ktm as he was the right age in moto3. They figured they would go through the classes with him and have him in MotoGP by the time they would have a winning bike. No fools, those Austrians. There was a small article on him a while ago and he was having (i think) pork steaks cooked in a very portuguese fashion at his grandma’s, and she was saying “eat up, you don’t get this on those fancy places worldwide”, i got a giggle out of it.

How did I come to be involved in a conversation about wanking in the desert? I mean, we've all done it, but still...

Thanks, I'm just working on it out of curiosity for now I'll have a look on google maps based on that and I'll ask for more input later on if need be. There are a few rides I'd like to do.

Not on a motorcycle, but watch this from Semenuk riding mountain bikes also on a one shot video. This one not from a drone and filmed 5 years ago. Something about a one shot video just keeps you pinned to your seat: On the video above, the music is just so amazing that it helps you get into a sort of trance. You can find the short documentary on filming that video, showing all the hard work into making the tracks, the filming crew, very different: I used to be into mountain biking, watch this:

I am properly chuffed at Miguel´s win today at MotoGP, Portugal's first win in the big class, and Miguel is a great kid. He must be feeling like he can fly right now, and rightly so since he's amazing.
