He’s quiet about it though! Guilty pleasure?

Put some wine in there too. I really should take the GS to the Eifel in Germany. See a few friends, do a few laps of the track just cruising around, I’ll try to do it next year. If it happens I do plan to stay for two or three night near you so we can do a ride around those roads you keep posting about, plus a proper dinner or two. It’ll be planned, so @boboneleg, I’ll keep you up to date if it happens.

Blues Brothers 2000 on tv right now. It’s the kind of thing you just have to watch when you’re browsing and it’s on.

Get the electric now, it’ll increase your range instantly. A fast electric mountainbike feels like cheating (in a good way) once you see the speeds you’re doing uphill.

It is today

It's very expensive, but it is an exotic bike with exotic low volume parts.

In most places, you build bridges to help cross rivers. In Portugal, you get the floods on top of the bridges while the river flows calmly below:

Just you

Gayest thing I’ve ever seen a bike do:

The Fall of The House of Usher. It’s weird and dark and violent and ghostly and suicidey, not that good but I can’t stop watching it. It’s on Netflix.

I used to like a cigarillo sometimes and have really considered taking up smoking to give me something to do while enjoying a scenic location. Last year in Morocco I stopped and being by myself I understood the sense that smoking makes in situations like that

It's the dragon, not the flag. There's also a Isle of Man one, one from a garage in Morocco, and the flag for the Berber nation. Should maybe get a Portuguese flag in there so there's no confusion ...

Guess I'll go with the more close up picture, more bike and less scenery in there:

Hobnob sounds naughty

Flask of coffee or tea from home, ride out to get the scooter engine warm, stop by somewhere and have a coffee and take a BOTM picture, then ride back home. 10 or 20km each way, it's a change of pace and brightens up your day.

Maybe you would get a top box in the mail

If he were to do that we would then have to pay ransom for it, and risk getting it.

The 29th, after lunch. After my lunch Unless I'm on the bike, if that's so then it's evening.

I'm counting on a good photo from @MooN and @Specs and @Buckster and @Sir Fallsalot! @XTreme, do you think your new phone's pictures are too photoshoped to enter this now?

RC8s are such a cool unique looking sports bike. I love that when you see a clean one it looks like it could have been released this year.

Not disputing that, I've been in a car a few times a little all over the place. Might do next year, though

Aren’t X motocross engines? I would have thought them to not be very friendly for slow trail riding without overheating.

What kind of WR250 is it, bob, R or F?

Never feel like taking a motorcycle to France except when I see your reports. Lovely looking road through the trees.

Took you long enough. Thank you Bob, that's why you're a moderator.
