Restaurant wasn't specified, just said "oriental". Pic was taken during yesterday's 202 mile ride, so I did go somewhere.

If it were down to me I'd be hoping for, bare minimum, a recent bike photo outside a takeaway...other more creative ideas are welcome, natch.

Agreed, "a pic of your bike with something Italian" doesnt mean the carbon fibre exhaust heat shield i bought from an online place in Rimini that i just fitted to the bike.

Nice one...but I see no witches/broomsticks and the rules are it has to be a pic from today or, at a stretch, yesterday. Good pic though, more please...on the right thread of course. :D

No broomsticks or visible witches,but just above the H1 seat there is a plaque to 8 women and one man who were convicted of witchcraft in 1711.

If that works,then next up is your bike with something red. If not,then as you were. :thumbup:

Been a washout around here,it's just stopped raining, no it's not it's started again :wtf:
The last dry day I remember was 13 days ago & for the next week the forecast is no rain Weds afternoon & dry next Saturday,rain for all the rest.
Here's the lane just down the road on Friday & all it's done since is more rain..

I was going to drive to a bike shop today,but never mind riding,I CBA driving in this weather.I think we're all going to go a bit mad when the rain finally stops & the floods recede..

I've seen a few adventure bikes going through the village with all the adventure gear on, and if I had that type of bike and all the gear to go with it then I might try it, but not on my bikes.
It's actually lovely here,for once. Dry roads,sunny and crispy cold enough for a two smoke to love. Some of the pokey back roads will be a mess,but main routes are good.
