As we are posting LC pics, ill do mine again

Though have to admit, with one thing and another, I've not actually ridden it this year .
That is just stunning - if you need to find someone to ride it I'd happily volunteer. laugh

LOL, thanks Jake!

The plate is actually stuck to the top of the rear fender, it's an Ontario green plate, so not road legal anyway. You can see it here:



I think I've done more miles off-road this year than on, as everything is shut, I now have no commute, and there is nothing to really ride to.

Thanks. Really proud of my son who has learned to dirt bike. My (biker) dad passed away a few years ago, and would have loved to know that his grandson has gotten into biking too.

Here he is messing around, I'm guessing in the 70's.



And here he is with Elliot (my son) when he was 1 year old.



I recently rescued that Speed Triple (from a lockup in France to Ontario), so will need advice getting it running again!

Did 250km in Madeira on a rental 700GS. Lovely at this time of year.

The North Shore


Eastern hills where hairpin roads can be as steep as 1 in 5. Clutch control quite handy!


And heading to the South Shore through the Eucalyptus trees to catch the sunset

Although small it's a lovely island, I can imagine it would be a ride that you have to keep your concentration. My wife and I had a rental car to go to Porto moniz (I think) and that struggled with all the inclines, perhaps something with a bit more power than a vauxhall adam would have been a bit more suitable.

Lovely pictures though, looks a great trip.

Now I know why my parents go there so much! How did the cost of bike hire compare to hiring a car? Did they provide safety equipment?

It is a terrific place to ride if you enjoy taking your time. The new highways are a joy to ride also being billiard smooth and still twisting like they need to through the hills. Here is one for you that you may remember: Porto Moniz from the road above that leads in-

I don’t blame them - this is our holiday home. Bike hire is about €45 for a NC750 or GS, cheapo helmet included. Car is cheap, an X1 costs me £10 a day.

A couple more - the locals up top at altitude



The Eucalyptus trees in the forest make an incredible scented canopy when riding
