Pedro

It's like Justing Bieber, Michael Jackson, or Vanilla Ice ?

That kind of success carries the kind of pressure that can break anyone, Pete.

It would, so they made everything tiny ....

Silly question, perhaps, but doesn't that hurt your when you sit down? Or do you just take then off for sitting down at a cafe or something like that?

Welcome, young Grasshopper!

Maybe stop looking at their crotches, eyes are up here!

I didn't say there is no sexual stereotyping or harassment, or even violence against women. I live in Portugal, probably worse but surely no better than France. Granted, they might not even be taken seriously when walking into a motorcycle dealership, sure. BUT, nothing stops or makes it more difficult for a woman to learn to ride, buy a bike and go on leisure rides like most men.

To me that doesn't make sense, a girl is a person that decides to ride a bike or drive a car then I just hope she enjoys whatever. In my eyes, a woman in europe can pretty much do what she wants, that barrier has fallen as far as I can tell. Can't compare that challenge of what is basically someone just doing something for fun with no real obstacles getting in her way to the one that is presented to a disabled person just moving around the world. Now, get a blind girl riding a bike to a gathering and you've got something ...

I was at 106 this time last year in June and feeling properly fat and ruined, got to 86 or 87 two months ago and was going great, now I don't want to look

First time I was on a bike as an adult was at 16 or 17, on the back of a DT125 ridden by my girlfriend. So I'm plenty modern ? You don't admire a man riding a bike, so the only reason you admire a woman doing the same is because there is this thing about a woman doing something you like doing that does something for you. That's ok, I think.

Women don't stop being women because they're on a bike. I find sexy as hell to see a woman confidently riding a bike, that didn't change. So same as you would do in any other social encounters, you play it cool and don't go saying "It's great that you galls are on bikes, good for you and for the humanity" because that would just make you sound like a self entitled dork to everyone, but to the ladies in particular. You play it cool so that they perceive you as if you didn't even notice them, because you want to get laid or at least not be ruled out of the game early on. So basically, it's sex drive and basic attraction that makes us act politically correct

If I were to do it, I'd just buy a replacement Akrapovic header and replace it whole.

It's no wonder you can't pick your bike up, Tym.

I think it must be a father's momentous occasion to present a kid with something like this.

Holy shit. I took my license in an orange TW225 god knows how many years ago, it's exactly the same except in a weirder color today! God knows how long ago I took my license test, but god has already forgotten how long most of you guys have taken yours'!

FFS, it would just roast my bare right foot. PS: Is it me, or did this waving little guy use to give you the finger after the wave?

You want "Enduro", do a Pete and buy these with highlighted white letters on the side: Metzeler "Enduro" They do look proper, and it is a Metzeler

So, on my XR400 I've got this almost new Michelin AC10 that just plain suck on the front. What should I replace it with? I don't give a shit about mileage or any of that in that bike, just want a front tire that won't try to kill me at 60mph riding alone on a dirt road. Will probably still the keep the rear AC10, as it hooks up fine enough and I'm not made of money

For Inane, ModRover would have to be posting on full vigor. There is no Inane without Pookie

Good stuff! That's my kind of off-roading, easy going and floating along as fast as you like. I would love to ride through that just standing up and taking in all those lovely french countryside smells. I fear the time when all this crisis subsidized pay debs comes back to bite us in the ass in the form of taxes, but tomorrow's another day. Not a dig at you, it's more or less (righly so!) europe wide, but I would hate to be stuck with the bill.

I can understand sailors, as apart from vices at every harbor you get "But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea" Now, geology? WTF? You're alone with some rocks? Does it drive you to drinking? Stuart, I remember him in his CRF125, bring him back!

I wouldn't miss that...

I didn’t understand most of what first one posted, and left before the second one came along.

Thing is, I like looking like a normal person once stopped and off the bike ? I was never confortable with my former Dainese Explorer pants, something about jeans just feel nicer and more at ease on the bike as well. It's a Schuberth C3Pro, I think vents weren't the issue since I was even sweating with the helmet open or the screen open. I'm talking 30ºC and unfortunately well over that as well. Thing with the pipes, though, I don't need the bike any louder or faster, it's just fine the way it is, but would really like to have it running cooler without my environmental conscience getting in the way.

My goal would be to make it more comfortable during the summer, but that’s my predicament as well
