XTreme Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 This was done back in January! There's miles of these canals stretching across the area and the surfaces vary from billiard table smooth to bomb craters. So you have to be very careful how you ride if you're not familiar with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Pete, do you paint the letters on your tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 No......they were both painted when I got it. Front tyre has now been replaced just before Lockdown. I wouldn't waste my time with sad shit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 It's a dilemma Bruce! A CRF250L would be better for me these days..........I can't go far because of work and the wife's condition with her arthritis. So in some ways the Strom is more bike than I actually need now.

It's a bunch of Beemer Boys coming from the other direction and getting the fuck out of the way! And then a couple of Harleys in front........but not for long! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 How far from here are you Pete? https://www.booking.com/hotel/es/camping-balcon-de-orellana.en-gb.html?aid=397597;label=gog235jc-1DCAEoggI46AdIM1gDaFCIAQGYAQm4AQfIAQ3YAQPoAQGIAgGoAgO4At6Pz_UFwAIB;sid=11f5557ede572c29cb15ad9a7c7e8d42#map_opened-hotel_address Me and Mandi were there last year, not what we expected when we spotted the accommodation but it was great inside. WE were sweating buckets, so hot. Drank a lot of beer that evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's camping with wifi and also caves as well......which maintain an 18C temp all year round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 We only stayed the one night and there was no prob with the place. Our accommodation from the outside looked like a world war bunker painted white but once inside it was excellent value for money. The owner spoke a little English and looked after us. We showered and went over the bar and watched the sun go down. Food was ok, had more beer and stumbled back to the air conditioned bunker. Have no prob going back again. Looking over the reservoir, it wasn't unlike some of the pics you post but then it is a big country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect you're aware of this mindset @Pedro........and how much they FUCKING HATE the Catalans? They were in bars cheering when the Police were laying into them on TV a year or two ago......they couldn't get enough of it. To them it was like Wrestlemania and The Royal Rumble all in one!

Catteeclan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I think the closest we came to that was Badojoz. We wanted to see some of the history but all we got was overheated and Mcdonalds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect you're aware of this mindset @Pedro........and how much they FUCKING HATE the Catalans? Once or twice a year I attend a meeting with sales guys from all over Spain, around 12 guys from different areas. You can imagine the conversations at dinner, and these are educated guys that do like each other, but even then their rivalry shows in the most interesting things, like who makes the best olive oil, the best sardines, the best whatever... One of them told me, a couple years ago, that kids from the same grade from all over Spain learnt history from 31 or 41 different history manuals. Each one deleting Spain's feats as a country and finding a way to make their own area more important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And providing you avoid the Coastal places you're unlikely to run into many knuckledragging Brits! You see the embarrassing shit some of them get up to on the Costas and you'll cringe!
