Nobody has anything worthwhile to add Chris!

Not sure......about 100kms I'd say!

I did look for some......but couldn't find any Bob!

Well I did something......other than bullshitting on the Internet like the rest of you do!

No.....not the bike! Obviously I have no idea how to do shit like that. I'm talking about the reservoirs, because we've had years of very little rain. And there's now a serious drought situation. Now I'm not one who normally looks for more rain, but every year the price of straw for the horses has been going up. We used to pay around €400 for a year's worth......but last it was €1200 and we had to have it brought in from Albacete. Which is about 150 miles away. So an increase in rainfall and the filling of the reservoirs is critical.....not just here, but throughout Spain. So off I went to check the current situation. Luckily, the weather was great......around 20c! So it was perfect conditions! The approached into Castril.......and the wall of the Dam. This is The Style! I was amazed when I saw the levels in Castril because when I came here last Summer it was very low indeed. This is probably the highest I've seen it in 5 years! It's nowhere near it's highest, but the water line has gone up a lot. Two car loads of a Spanish family then turned up......three generations of them. So I ended up having to take a load of group photos of them. They weren't from Andalucia because they were speaking Spanish in a grammatically correct way rather than slurring words and leaving out letters in words. Lovely people......couple of hot girls in their 20's with them. I wanted to get a photo with those two, but I couldn't very well tell the rest of the family to get out of the way! Then it was on to San Clemente.......the levels there had risen a bit but nothing like the scale it had in Castril. Most of the land you see here was underwater when I came here in 2005...... Had to get the obligatory shot on the bridge.....obviously destined to be BOTM for April. Bike ran great as usual.......these rural roads are the perfect place for it. And it actually made me think......"Why am I considering selling it?" Well there we are! I got out and did something......and in doing so, I made a positive contribution to the forum! Some of you lot should try it sometime!

Even I did a double-take on that one!

Exactly! Get some viton items!

So......are you considering one Ray?

They don't really conform to any genre from what I can see.

I think they're making engines for KTM now aren't they?

21c forecast here......so that's just right!

Clearing some work today so I'll be free tomorrow!

Great shots! None of my family before me, or after me, have had bikes!

This is unheard of......me starting a thread in Workshop! The reason is that I got my air pump delivered this morning....... I was expecting something not much bigger than the battery ones, but this was a decent size! Couldn't be bothered to look at the instructions, but I still got it working in seconds! I've even got a vid of it in action! Glad I got this cos the old pump is obviously misreading......front tyre was too low and the back one too high. Sorted now, and a lot better than the physical effort of inflating them manually! €50 well spent I'd say! I've got to check the car as well, but that's enough physical exertion for today!

Great stuff Scott! How do you get round operating the brake on one side using the hook?

Congratulations Rich!

Down from 900lbs to 898lbs?

Mine's coming Monday! Should be a couple of weeks at the increased rate included!

......there's been no sign of @Marcel le Moose Fondler since @Beemer Bummer's revelations about him getting banned from Buttrider due to him PMing guys for the purposes of assfucking?

It was a rechargeable battery thing.......handheld! One car wheel and the battery expired!

But in an opinion poll her constituents (South West Norfolk) would vote her back in.

Good advice that is!

How long have you lived there Saul?
