XTreme Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 These places don't even show up on Google Maps.......so I don't where I was exactly. I suspect most of this in Murcia! I was out for about four hours with temps around 30C, and still managed not to go beyond my 6 mile limit. If only I had a van! Nevertheless I wobbled off on my gay moped. It was my first run since hitting 70, and I'm pleased to report that I was riding just as badly as I was before I was 70. I went from Granada province, into Almeria, and then into Murcia. When I crossed into Murcia I found an abandoned restaurant! About 15 minutes going cross country I found more ruins! Further along the road there was more...... And then I came across a complete block of abandoned buildings! And I was so glad I had a top box! Cos when you stop is when you really feel the heat! This is the point most of you (especially @Skippy) would bottle it......but I just take it in my stride! Obviously there's been somebody living here at some point! So there we go......something for you lot to aspire to. I'll just mention in passing that I saw Tony the Tools (who's recently moved out of the town) recruiting for his new bike gang on FB......obviously no invite for me. Not that I'd even consider it obviously, because my idea of motorcycling is somewhat different to others. But it just goes to show that the current generation of motorcyclists just can't hack it in the company of Old School Greasers! Tell 'em @Renegade! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I find it difficult to understand how these places are just abandoned like that. On this crowded little island they would be developed into something to rape money out of the populace quick smart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the stuff has probably been bequeathed to multiple siblings.......and they'll never agree on what to sell it for. Time goes on and the individual shares get bequeathed to the next generation of siblings.......so there could be about 10 or 12 people who have a stake. It gets very complicated! Particularly because the Spanish mentality is to let something rot rather than sell it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Notice how nobody ever says "I've got to come over there and get some of that". I'm not babysitting you wankers and then have to sit in the Hospital all day organising medical treatment for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
