Mr_Trecolareco introduces himself here. - SD photos and film

Hi there,

New here from Portugal looking to learn some tricks about the SD

Haven't bought one yet ( still selling my currente bike and doing the maths...) but the sooner the better because I'm going insane ehehe

buying the SD will take you to new levels of insanity.

welcome to the forum my friend.

Steve.

olá! e boa vinda (hello and welcome) Mr T. What part of Portugal are you from? The Mrs and I went there for our honeymoon in 2000. My grandparents came to the states from there. My grandmother was from Lisboa and my grandfather was from Madeira.

Congratulations on your purchase of the SD.

Yep, tell us and a maybe a dual-SD surprise eheh

A couple of weeks ago a took some photos of the bike how it looks now, so here they are:















The previous owner liked the SD tool kit and kept it but finally found one on ebay:


And the same seller had these so I bought them also ( don't know if I'll fit them or not but hte price was good LOL )


And some thanks to the SD community:

Weeksy:

plus a brake reservoir lid

Superdan:


plus the rear swing arm protector won at ebay.co.uk but with postage to UK only that Dan made the favour to receive and dispatch to me

When fitted I'll update the post

Do you go to Faro at 18-21 July?

Nice.
Nice Sunday ride and beautiful countryside. I also like the look of that bicycle track along the coast in the early part of the footage.

For you guys in the UK that blue stuff in the upper half of the frames is the sky
(Just spent mid June in the UK and didn't see the sky once and it was less-than-more mid-summer)

Good to hear from you as always

2015 season is officially open!!!!

Well,. a couple of weekends ago the weather was nice enough and wife was working so perfect time to clean up the dust from the SD

Took the usual route on the way to Cabo da Roca and breathe the fresh air ( along with 98ron petrol ehehe )




After that left it at the dealer for the oil change ( and new radiator cap, because the coolant reservoir level was going down very very slowly )

While waiting for my ride, and with a new nephew I couldn't resist the baby bling


A pair of Metzeler Sportec M5 was also ordered... already with a chicken meter??? ( )



May need to get some practice runs to kill the elephant
