Pedro

Put spending an afternoon walking around Matosinhos Over the lift bridge that allows access to Porto de Leixões, Porto’s port. The old fort, now used by the Capitania (in charge of the sea, safety and ships around here, don’t know the translation) having a coffee now Look, a real life hipster!!! And the sign on the cafe, cracks me up

That's done in a studio too, he must be right!

I think maybe try just a couple of days for the vote, next time? Doesn't this drag things along a bit this way?

Walk with Costinha in the morning, short walk as his front legs are giving him discomfort and I think he's not happy walking. Working now and in the afternoon will take the car to have the windshield replaced so will be left on foot in Matosinhos with a few hours and nothing to do, maybe go for a long walk.

That's a special looking pub, dangerous to look at it if you've had a few too many

Feel free to insult him, it's one of the good things about this place. Call him a twat or worse, it's free and it'll feel good, plus it's true.

So much worse? She fell standing still! It’s pretty hard luck as it is.

This is you, ruining botm before and trying really hard now:

I looked for a few ancient pictures I had from that little road, but have lost them. If the weather is fine and I've got a couple of hours to waste towards the end of the week I might pop up there to take a few modern ones, gives me a nice reason for a ride instead of aimlessly going somewhere.

20:00 on the 31st!

Dude looks pretty relaxed for someone who just got an axe in the face!

Edited for accuracy, as Bike Of The Month is now a class act.

Asking for the whining to stop might be a big ask, Bob.

What have you got against my bike?

Not ones where you put your whole hands in, no.

I'm voting for Pete for now, am undecided so might change if my vote swings something, so far the picture looks crisp, love the hills in the back, and I'm experimenting with voting for a top box picture to see how I feel about it in the morning Not in love with the DR's muffs and windscreen in that picture, although it's a cool bike, the Hornet's picture looks a little gloomy, and the Triumph's ruins with the van don't do much for me but I do like the bike and the sky.

By the way, what's the difference between a DR650S and an SE, @boboneleg? I've seen both but they look the same to me. Is yours an S?

Pretty sure the spaniards were all wondering why two foreigners were lowering their pants to each other when saying hello. Weird costumes!

Stay away from Aberdeen, Marcel will go nuts.

Start of 2024, first Bike Of The Month vote. Sounds nothing but has the potential to set the trend for 2024, it's all in your hands on who end January with one of Motorcycling's biggest accolades. At 20:00 on Wednesday the 31st the vote will automatically close. Won't tell you if you'll be able to switch votes, you might or you might not, try it and find out Here are your choices: @boboneleg's Suzuki DR650SE, out personifying rugged individualism ... in Dorset, South England: @Pedro's BMW R1200GS Adventure, enjoying a late afternoon on Serra de São Macário, Northern Portugal: @Saul's Honda CB750 Hornet, out styling in Fowey´s streets, in Cornwall, South England: @Tango's Triumph Street Scrambler 900, cruising historic country roads near Carcassonne, in Languedoc, South France: @XTreme's Honda CB500X, back out on the road on a spirited Sunday ride for the first time in months, heading back home from Sierra de María, Andalucía, South Spain.

12 liters will take you to Scotland, Clive!

As long as bikes to have decorating the garage, that’s a cool one to have.

The other one was way nicer, though. Better landscape, colours on the bike, and shows you’re not ashamed of your box.

It’s a pretty little road that one. Feels like 100 years ago.
