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.

Anual whine: I hate it when the hour changes and suddenly it’s night before 18:00

So you paint the wall so your wife lets you go on the bike to see your friends?

This is the time, October 2023's most prestigious motorcycling accolade is about to grace one of our members, you choose who and what bike wins our Bike Of The Month October. Please vote according to what you feel like, be it best scenery, best bike, best trip, best scenery, best picture, person you least hate, it doesn't really matter as long as you do vote and don't forget to switch before it's final. I'm setting the poll to close on the 31st at 21:00. Here are our choices for this month: @boboneleg's Yamaha WR250X, chilling by the canal on a moody day: @Marcel's sleek Indian Challenger Limited, out in Canada's changing Autumn colours @MooN's Triumph Tiger 800XC, out on a romantic french vineyard dirt road: @Pedro's BMW R1200GS Adventure, overlooking a lighthouse on Portugal's Atlantic shore: @Saul's brand new Honda CB750 Hornet, here enjoying a cool morning in Mevagissey, Cornwall. @Six30's fast and shiny BMW S1000R stopped for a break on bucolic Wrotham. @Tango's Triumph Street Scrambler 900 out on historic France. You can almost see ghosts of musketeers past galloping along the road. @XTreme's ultra clean Honda CB500X styling high in the Andalusian mountains

Feel free to unstick this, @XTreme

You should have photoshopped that top case out of it instead.

Have you got an usb plug on the dash, Pete? It's a good idea to have it plugged on to have the phone's battery not draining from navigation use, also on some phones they will have a brighter screen when on charge, that or carry a small power bank if something happens to charge it off the bike. You're right, having it pointing up like on the pictures will make the sun glare affect it too much, and also once warmer weather comes it'll cook the phone. It's worrisome water levels aren't up after all the rain over the last couple of weeks, or hasn't it reached your area? Bike is looking clean!

@Slowlycatchymonkey, are you still browsing through your trip´s pictures to choose the better one? @Buckster, those weekends to England and not one picture either? Did you two go to the same school?

You are welcome to come over anytime, Bob. Warm home cooked meal and booze. ps: bring your bike washing talents.

How far do you live from work Rich? Will riding the bike there make for a more fun day or just a chore in winter?

Lupin. Third season is out, I enjoyed the first two. Very nice if you watch with subtitles as I can't follow it properly in French.

Great scenery. What’s the elevation there?
