That can't pull the skin of a pudding, or something like that edit: or is it peal a pudding? edit 2: peal a peach? -
The face of a happy camper!

Good surfing is about 200 or 250km North, some real manly stuff:

You are the only one I've met here, Pete

In my opinion, this is the most scenic part of Portugal, I rather ride the plains of the deep Alentejo and the hills of Algarve, but there is something special about the Atlantic Coast of Algarve and Alentejo. If you're feeling romantic, you'll think of the old time explorers being trained in sea craft in this area, and the views over a wide open ocean make some Portuguese people feel very patriotic and adventurous.

Sorry, I had a slow moment here, of course, I didn't realize Alpine was the color.

What exactly constitutes an Adventure Motorcycle
Pedro replied to DangerRuss58's topic in MOTORCYCLE CHAT
Tell that to Emilio Scotto -
the Honda dealer where I once bought my Transalp told me they got a few bikes with problems coming from Honda's assembling plant in Italy, most notably was a small utilitarian bike, CBF125?, they got one with absolutely no stickers, and another with no piston and conrod, took them a while to understand why it would not start but would crank like fuck ?

That's where I think we digress, you say it an image, I say people buy a feeling. It's worth it to feel like and adventurer, a racer, a badass biker, etc, even if you're just getting that feeling while going about your mundane life. -
What exactly constitutes an Adventure Motorcycle
Pedro replied to DangerRuss58's topic in MOTORCYCLE CHAT
The GSs with dustbins that don't go anywhere serve a purpose, their owners look at their bikes and feel like they can go on an adventure, and basically that's why most people buy bikes. Most CBRs and GSXRs don't go on track either, it doesn't make them useless, their riders feel like Marc Marquez when they start them to go have a coffee with their friends. -
What exactly constitutes an Adventure Motorcycle
Pedro replied to DangerRuss58's topic in MOTORCYCLE CHAT
On the other hand, you can go around the world and not find or have an adventure, and have an adventure when you´re commuting home from work or on the train. Traveling doesn't mean adventure, it just means traveling. The "adventure" part of the segment's name is just marketing. Big trail or trail mustn't have been a manly enough name for the american market, it worked well enough in Europe for decades. -
Jesus! Are you a dealership? I've never ridden one, but the TL looked so cool when it came out, and I think it never lost it's appeal over the years.

That looks so british ?

I, for one, would like to test ride a big v-twin.

Just goes to show, even the drug business is suffering ... Welcome, I don't know what a Tigger Alpine is though.

That's what every teenager of my day dreamed of having, the DT50 LC, most sold 50cc motorcycle in Portugal for ages: It's tiny in real life.

Good area to ride in. On the second half of that video, that's the kind of terrain where low horsepower dirt bikes are so much easier to ride, old school sitting down type bikes are made for that!
