DangerRuss58 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Sunday dawned and the sun shone so I decided to go to a bike and car show that I saw advertised on one of the Facebook pages. I rode down to Alguena which isn't that far from Alicante and found the bike show consisted of one guy doing wheelies and endos along with shredding his rear tyre, the sort of things that teenager do before they get their licence. I didn't stay long I made my way back along the N332 from Alicante which runs along the coastline pretty much all the way home. Interestingly enough I took my time I was in no rush I actually stuck to the speed limits, short shifted and never went over 71mph. When I got home my bike was showing 4,4 litres per 100 kms fuel consumption which is a little over 64mpg not bad for a 1200cc machine, I filled her up this afternoon ready for tomorrows ride out with my ex pat friends, I brimmed the tank and it only took a little over 16 litres I had dome 310 km and with a 23 litre tank, which meant I had another 100 kms left in I was impressed. I have to apologise for all my spelling mistakes I try to go through everything I write but being rather dyslexic means one or two do get through. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Spring gets here we'll have to arrange a meetup point! Still hoping to visit the haunted Sanatorio in the Sierra Espuna but I need @Skippy to confirm that we can get access.

Next time I am up that way, I’ll go past and see if it’s possible. I’m pretty sure it’s fenced off for a reason though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the dogs up there and wander round.....if you get collared you can say you were trying to catch your dog cos he'd run off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
