XTreme

Here we go @Skippy......the Harley gayboys are off again! Next thing they'll start insisting I'm ginger and about 5'2".

Nice shot Marcel!

I did point out the skull on the sign on the way in Ray! That was a bit of a clue!

Cueva El Guindas

There's bike hire in Granada city.......I can check that out. You could consider the Cave Hotel?

Huescar

About 30 minutes......but it's a very central point to explore the region which has places like the Gorafe Desert!

So.....when are you and Mr Slowly going to venture up this way? You could always stay overnight in the Cave Hotel! They've got a garage there for the bikes!

With your Kwak and the 2 Enfields the fucking Grua guys here will be rubbing their hands with glee!

So true! I went through that with my eldest.....he's now 45 and I don't even know if he's still alive! Last time I saw him was in Bristol in 2004.

I ended up with a load of fucking leaves and nettles in my boot after climbing over the debris! Came close to falling over actually!

The thing with kids is they're so fucking childish!

We'll have to do another run sometime and call @Slowlycatchymonkey and Mr Slowly in for it! With their Enfields! What could go wrong?

I'd prefer to be fucking myself up on potholed roads looking at places that have been carpet bombed?

This is a very unusual Ride Report! Firstly, I had somebody with me! I know, who in their right mind would want to go anywhere with me? Well fortunately I found somebody who wasn't in their right mind......and that was @Skippy! Being a Cockney he wanted to relive his life in London during the Blitz.......so I was happy to oblige with a visit to an abandoned village. And unfortunately there is no onboard footage to show you this time, because somewhere en-route the cam got completely splattered with bugs. However, I do have a couple of clips......firstly there's Skippy wading through the debris in the village, and the other clip is when we reached this town and his Kwak started playing up. We met up in Barranda at a cafe..... Then it was off the beaten track to get to the abandoned village......mainly on potholed roads which didn't do Ray's back much good! But as you know, Rugged Individualism is never an easy gig! You can see how impressed Ray looks when he first saw the place. We had a stroll around....... I sent Ray on ahead so any shit that was going to happen would happen to him! After checking out a few compact and bijou properties we got back on the road and crossed from Murcia into Almeria! Here's me stuck with Ray's barge while he test rode the CB..... In case you missed Ray's CB review on the other thread, here it is: After that we crossed into Granada, and once we got within the boundaries of this town Ray's zip on his jacket broke and he got some warning light flashing on the Kwak. Only one thing for it......go into a bar! They served me this shit......might be alright for @Pedro but I wouldn't eat it. Cockney's are known for eating weird shit, so Ray piled it in! Then it was back to the bikes...... .......and I showed Ray the best route out so he could get the Kwak back home. I've heard from him......and he got back with no further drama! But we had a good run......just gutted my onboard footage got fucked up by flies and mosquitoes! Anybody is welcome to join me at anytime......particularly any of you big talkers! Personally, I don't think they'll hack it.....what you say @Skippy?

We do have motorways and trucks here Marcel! 120kph is 5750 revs with a redline of 10K.......and it'll accelerate from that no problem at all.

Hi!

Prior to the unforeseen circumstances on our run, @Skippy gave the CB a test ride! Now as you know, I've raved about this thing since I had it........and taken relentless abuse about it! This certainly seems the bike that some of you love to hate! No idea why! So I asked Ray if he wanted to test it out and give his opinion.......after all, he's similar age, stature, and riding experience. Have I been making false claims about it to justify my purchase? Find out the truth! Turn up the volume!

Don't take chances.......get it sorted professionally. The Honda guy sounds promising.

Speak to your landlord.....he seems to get shit done. And if he doesn't know who to recommend, he'll know somebody that does.

Necesito un buen mecánico!

Ask around in the area........you'll find the same names popping up. The Spanish will know who's the real deal.

We do what we can do Marcel......I can't do jack shit with tools like you can. Wish I could really......but my mind just doesn't work that way.

Take it to a proper mechanic......you never know if there's any other stupid shit that guy has done.
