Yeh......but it sure as hell beats the other option......living in the UK! ?

......word on the street is it'll take effect from 18th September so they can eke out more tourist revenue up till then. Then we'll have to live with the aftermath! And that time will coincide with temperatures dropping to more pleasant levels! Sort of like the end of the first lockdown coinciding with the wall of heat coming down!

You can still do it on your bike......but an Adv bike would be better suited obviously.

Have you considered getting an Adventure style bike?

Brilliant @Sofia!

I'd prefer to see pics of the photographer myself!

And even better.......I drove there via Death and Dismemberment Boulevard!

If you get down south then look us up Rick!

Exactly! When your hobby/interest becomes your living it changes everything.

From my experience, based on having clients who've done it, is there's not much money in it. The only outfit that I know of, who appear to be doing OK, is Rawhyde!

It's a doorway.....possibly a time portal as well. If I could guarantee I'd get 1973 I'd be through it like a shot. Knowing my luck I'd get something like the time of Kennedy's assassination or Pearl Harbour!

I'm sure I remember many years ago that you did some sort of ride report visiting spots where there'd been mass shootings and murders? And some place where they dump dead hookers?

Talking to a client the other day who's in the Tourist Industry and she commented about the abandoned railway stations and villages as she'd seen them on FB. I told her that I wasn't aware of anybody else who was doing anything similar within the motorcycling fraternity. And she said that there's actually a whole genre of holidays and excursions that are put together to cater for these unusual type of places.......it's called Dark Tourism. And the destinations would be places like Death Camps, sites of natural disasters, or man-made disasters like Chernobyl etc. Interesting concept for sure! She suggested that I start a Dark Motorcycling tour business running trips to these grim and bleak places. Because nobody else does it. I told her there's not a hope of me doing something like that.......which essentially is dragging a bunch of fucking dickheads across Southern Spain, arranging accommodation , translating etc. The whole premise behind going to these places is to totally escape, and be in complete solitude with nobody for miles around. Not pandering to a bunch of selfie-taking twats who would just ruin the atmosphere of the whole thing like they're now doing on the rail tracks at Auschwitz. However, it's an interesting business concept for somebody......though whether people would stump up the dosh to make it worthwhile I'm not sure. But the upshot is that I seem to have created a new genre of biking.......Dark Motorcycling! You won't get this shit on Buttrider you know! Tell 'em @Tym

But they bring guns with them as well Eric?

You've come a long way since 2005 Pedro.......

Castle Law? What's that?

Remember back in the day? If one of the boys had a suit on it was either court or a funeral!

Brilliant Eric! That town is weird.......the buildings all look like garden sheds! Don't they get broken into though? Cos it looks like the doors could just be kicked open? And a height of 10,000ft........what was the temp there?

Oh god.....he'll go and shoot somebody now!

Mostly Brum I think!
