At least the post triggered Ivan out of Carpe retirement


Yesterday I met a Russian on a Beemer in Fundao, Portugal. Really friendly and polite, not a trace of snobbishness. I think it's a certain type of middle-class GS owner who buy them to signal status who mar the rest. A bunch of them pulled up next to me a couple of days ago and I may have well been invisible. What dick heads is all I can say. Maybe all the sticking plasters holding the plastics together was too oinkish for them.

You're probably right. That said read my other post in Keep it On the Black Stuff.

You are not wrong Len. I was sitting in a cafe in the middle of nowhere in Argentina having lunch when 4 beemers rolled up, each two up. They walked in and came straight over to say hello having seen our little Zanella 250s parked outside. Turned out they were from Brazil heading to Chile. They even gave us some stickers for our bikes from their club in Brazil. They were so friendly and wanted to know how we were getting on with our little bikes. When I told them how far we had come and where we were headed they actually bowed with respect.
