XTreme

Not looking too bright here......around 17C and rain! So it's unlikely that I'll be able to get out, though things can change I suppose! Anyway......is anybody doing anything? Or are you all going to continue just looking at the board and fucking trolling at every opportunity?

Today may well have been the last ride of my Sixties as rain is forecast for the weekend. Incredible that I've ridden through my Teens, Twenties, Thirties, Forties, Fifties, and Sixties without suffering Death and Dismemberment! In fact, I've never even managed to break a bone or get laid up in Hospital. And I've never totaled any of the 67 bikes, or made an Insurance claim. It seems that nothing went according to the script......I'll have to try harder I suppose! Anyway, this run was to Juan Cortes in Baza to get my centre stand fitted! So here's some stuff from the showroom.......and I have to say that the Rieju Aventura was spectacular! It really ticked all the boxes........except for one! The engine! In case you weren't aware, Rieju are a long established Spanish company who in the past had mainly used Yamaha engines! Now they're using fucking Chinkies! So they've got this stunning looking machine......and then they fuck it all up by sticking a POS Chinkie motor in it! And here's the end result of the trip......centre stand fitted! And it was fitted for free as a birthday present! I also got hugs and kisses from the young lady in the office as well. Passed hundreds of bikes going in the opposite direction on the way back.....all headed to the MotoGP in Jerez! Much as I'd love to be living the dream back there with you guys......I think I'll keep suffering it out over here!

Off to Juan Cortes!

That's the word all English speakers use. In Spanish it's embalse.

It's a reservoir not a lac!

Covered under warranty though?

I've never seen one on the road!

I can only think of Burger King when I hear that name!

What's caused the difference between the east and the west?

It's a B-King by the look of it!

I think we should show a bit of latitude and let it in! But it's Pedro's call! Basic bicycles no way.

I'm in!

Worked out well then! How far is it from your old place......cos I know your States are massive?

Not risking my Hernia repair! Did I mention that I had a Hernia? If anybody wants proof I can give you that!

Great stuff Scott! Why did you decide to move to that area.......cos you're still in the same State aren't you?

This arrived today! Going into Juan Cortes to get it fitted Friday morning!

Just had my haircut at Pedro's!

Nothing grows here......apart from fields where crops have been planted!

Both patios are tiled.

That's bad!

That garden must take a load of work Saul!

They thought you were @MooN?
