There are usually quite a few DR650's for sale in France, would that be a pain to register in Spain ? https://www.leboncoin.fr/motos/1765249795.htm/ https://www.leboncoin.fr/motos/1762596757.htm/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ll have to see what’s available locally.........and be less choosy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a good one then you're sorted.......because there's none of the rusting and pitting that you see on UK bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerRuss58 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Iberian Meet: sounds like a great idea to me but....! Long story short, my wife is a nurse been off work for a while, just over a year with a very bad knee she has had a knee replacement but was sacked just before Christmas RE: "Capability to work" after several weeks of phone calls to the UK nurses union and solicitors she has her job back and has booked a flight for the first week of June, That means I am restricted on where I can go as I have two dogs here at home and one is elderly so can't leave them for long. Also I haven't sorted out my Spanish Licence yet because of this Virus crap so if I get my licence change sorted I can only go on a longish trip once my wife is back here in Spain which will be roughly every 6-8 weeks. If we can work the meet around that...brilliant.! Excuse the delays in answering Pete I am in the middle of writing a book for the ride reports section . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Town still empty.......and just getting to the end of Lockdown Week 8! Hoping for some relaxation of restrictions on Week 9 which would take effect from Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 The reports I'm getting now seem to say that all regions of Andalucia will be moving to Phase One.......EXCEPT Granada and Malaga! This is fucking insane......in this part of the region we've only had 3 cases and all recovered. Granada CITY has had the cases......not us! And we're 100 miles from there FFS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 This is how it stacks up here.....Phase 0 (dark) stays where they are.......Phase 1 (lighter) has some restrictions lifted. The red spot is where I am.......and I'll be stuck on this red spot until further notice. Which is the same red spot I've been stuck on for the last 8 fucking weeks!

Tym Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I did the math, it would have saved trillions in wealth if everyone was just isssued one of these. $1088 MSRP? $850 on Amazon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’d really freak out the neighbours! Excellent. Left my respirator on my last ship as it took up too much space in my luggage. Would have been useful now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 After nearly 15 years here I should be used to Spanish logic......in terms of it doesn't exist. Because we're still in the position of having the same restrictions in place as Madrid! We've had 3 RECOVERED cases.......and they've had 8500 DEATHS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 On another note, I made it home yesterday, after a nice ride. Had a nice meal all by myself, of a little cheese and peas with chorizo, was half way to getting a little drunk on my favorite local whine when my folks called to ask if I had been allowed in as my area has exploded with hundreds of infected cases overnight. This is worry for Portugal as all the big distribution centers for the major supermarkets are here, and if they shut down it would get tricky to distribute food and stuff. I'm not too worried myself, as I am alone anyway. It's raining, though, so I am home. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
