visited a dealership today, to buy some waterproofing spray as I might go on a ride in the next few days. Took the chance to go look at the new GS. Good thing is that it looks a lot less ugly in real life than on youtube. It feels smaller than mine as well, which it is so it’s not really surprising. Had a sit on one that I could start for it to go back up to riding height, and it does feel lighter. The paint they use now on the engine and swingarm is not smooth anymore, a little like bedliner or wrinkle paint, not really a fan but it looks hardy. It is a complicated bike though, very complicated.

Maybe heading to be more of a smaller Transalp than a trail CB?

Looking at the orange one, it's clear they didn't even consider a legal license plate holder and lights until after it was done

Here you go @XTreme! Hero Xtreme 160R, on full styling and profiling mode: https://www.heromotocorp.com/en-in/motorcycles/performance/xtreme-160r.html

I just wouldn’t bother on that weather, good for you!

Hang in there!

Evening yesterday in Ericeira

I think it looks better than the current version. That guy looking at it doesn’t seem very impressed with it, though

Hateful, who hurt you?

Taiwan I think, who have been making good mountainbike parts for years…

If you’re a goner leave a note to the wife to turn that topbox into a flower garden. If you’re stressing, it’s good to leave this sort of things written down, makes you calmer and by doing it it already helps yourself.

The ones sold in Europe and US are apparently assembled in the UK, apart from the little ones.

There were no rules this month, just horizontal pictures with your own bike taken the same month. You could have submitted a picture, or complain about it after ignoring the thread until submissions were over. There's always next month!

There's a reason they usually fit road tires to dyno off-road bikes

Shut up @Marcel. There's 8 bikes, if 8 members can't vote there would be nobody else.

Not too bumpy on the dyno, those tires?

If I do it in November then it'll be open so you can all go snoop and see who didn't vote for you. Submiting a picture helps, though.

When you're creating a poll you get the options on top, below the poll tittle:

That is proper funny. Worthy of a reply!

You have that option when creating the poll. Not when voting.

I know, but maybe do it next time while warning people, or not

Maybe we can try changing it up and making votes public when setting the next poll. Fun times.

I went for Moon’s Triumph. I like those wheels on a gravel road. Was picking between that and Tango’s but I just like that Tiger on pictures.
