XTreme Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I left about 10.45 this morning to meet up with @Skippy in the Natural Park Area across the border in Almeria. First proper run the bike has had for a while, and you'll be disappointed to know there's no abandoned villages this time. Apparently the last village I visited with Skippy traumatised him because he thought he was back in the Blitz! Also traumatised his bike and his jacket cos they both fucked up as well. So here we go......all upbeat, touristy type of shit. These are taken on the way to the Natural Park......a BOTM prospect there I'd say! Roads were jammed as usual! Conditions were amazing......about 20c there and going up to 26 later on. I had to find some grim, devastated shit just to cheer me up though...... And then it was on towards the Natural Park.......there's always bikes here! I parked up by Skippy's Tracer....... Went into the picnic area.......Skippy was already there! Along with 3 groups of Spanish bikers! Didn't take them long for all of them to fuck off when I got there though! So we were there for a while and then it was back to the bikes! The plan was to take him into the Granada province and show him some of the area up around the reservoir at San Clemente. Cos this type of Spain is the polar opposite of where he lives! Eventually we got to the reservoir.......he was surprised to see snow on the peaks! That doesn't happen on the coast! Less and less water all the time! Skippy then followed me back to the town and set his GPS to take the "Adventure" route home! He hasn't logged back in yet.......so maybe he did end up in an Abandoned Village after all? 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Had another good trip out with the Welsh Wizard, no devastation, or destruction, no broken bike, brand-new jacket is still fine, I think he was quite disappointed that nothing broke or fell off. Got back to the Brit enclave about 4.15pm……….had some daft Spanish twat pull across me but I live to ride another day. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Seems like you had a nice time on your second date. Good for you! Weather seems amazing, and deserted roads make for a nice time out on any bike! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, third date he puts the old school uniform on if you ask nicely AND buy him dinner (no mash). It's a whole romantic Angus Young vibe with him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
