Staring down the Barrel!

[XTreme]

Dark Motorcycling was the original plan......searching for an abandoned village in the Murcia province! However, it didn't quite turn out like that.

I'd located it on Google Maps and Google Earth, rode across the border into Murcia and then followed the only trail from the road. 

Unfortunately, after a couple of miles down it, and getting covered in dust, the trail led me into a private hunting reserve! Which I'd have to actually ride through to get to the abandoned village!

As getting shot at wasn't exactly what I had in mind for the day, I made my way back onto the main road.

But all is not lost......I did stop to get petrol on the way back and found yet another service station that's been abandoned. So at least I was able to do my Omega Man bit in there!

When I got back to town it was fuel it up.......and hose it down! Yes......I found a petrol station that was actually open!

This Beemer is amazing on fuel......I estimate around 70mpg in normal usage! Rugged Individualism was never as economical as this before. 

And I was definitely glad I was on this today on the offroad sections......so much easier than the Strom. Yes, I still ride like a pussy in those environments.....but at least it's not hard work now!

Never get a big GS again, Pete, never seen a bike get so dirty so easily as mine. Those are the kind of dirt roads I enjoy the most, nice and easy.

Never would Pedro......too big and too heavy.

This thing is like a toy to ride after the Strom, and as you know the Strom is a lot lighter than a GS.
