It's probably to hold the motorcycle tent on strong winds, pretty sure a bike thief can deal with two little screws.

He'll be the first one to notice and point it out, too. The twat. Something happy happens inside me when I call him a twat.

I don't really care for fighting but I'll watch that if it's available somewhere. Be it boxing or motorcycling or football or whatever, there's something great when a true world champion remembers people why he was world champion to begin with. If Mike Tyson brings his previous fighter mind back he'll bulldoze the dude.

See? I got it right.

Translates to: "I asked and she said it's ok"

He also may accentuate it on purpose, to sound extra british, because he's a twat.

Not even Jesus gets tubeless wheels!

You're right. Honda's even worse, they put it on the "premium GS level" expensive Africa Twin and all the others get shit

That was you being kind to him? Had to look Adenoidal up, learned a new word today! In my fantasy it would be a white or black single seat R50, 60 or 69S.

I suppose they're ok if you stay out of the more modern faster roads and keep to those 40 to 60mph "period" speeds? I sometimes think about flying to Italy or Germany and pick up an old bike to ride back home on back roads. My lack of real mechanical ability kind of doesn't match that fantasy though.

That's one great looking travel bike!

Even the chinese put tubeless spoked wheels on bikes, what's taking Yamaha and Suzuki so long?

Like politics, leave something be and in 50 years it goes back to being in fashion.

850 for tires for a bicycle? They're more than motorcycle tires?

It’s an E21. I love when he creates a pause to announce in about …. 5 hours time. He’s such a … twat.

This one is a man made lake, for water to be used for farming. It has a big dam which can be opened. 100/150km away the Algarve is in severe draught though.

Not really worth of a ride report, but yesterday met up with @Sofia in Alentejo by the big lake. Pleasant enough to be on the bike on the way there. Waiting for her to show up since we were coming from different places: and presto! Alqueva lake is at the absolute maximum level of water I've ever seen it, I doubt it has ever gone as high before. We left the Triumph for a little and I took her on the GS through an easy trail near the water, I think the bug to ride a trail bike has bitten... there might be a video later of that. Today we rode back home, except the majority of the ride was under quite heavy rain, my phone safe in my pocket and under my rain pants mean there's no pictures of it, but quite the amount of water came down. All warm and dry at home with my jacket still dripping down a bit.

Why does the proper botm thread gets closed and this doesn’t?

Doesn’t it make sense to use more assist, and then push as hard as normal but going twice as fast for the same effort?

You sound like a discerning person, welcome!

Almost being the main focus of that sentence.

Heavy yes, slow and ponderous maybe, but ugly they are not. Particularly the ST, an unfaired one would look gorgeous with this paintwork.
