    So, how's the corona virus affecting you?

    Week 8 here in Spain.......and we've got the strictest lockdown in Europe with the Police, Guardia Civil, and even the Army on the streets. This has been my only view since early March!

    Picked up another XT!

    I had to.......Bob was so disappointed in me when I sold the last one! :sadsmiley: It's ex-Ayuntamiento (Local Govt).......they bought it new in 2000, used it infrequently, and when it was due for it's first ITV (vehicle inspection) in 2005 they just left it in their garage! There should...

    Steaming in Spain!

    I've been here 10 years.....my British metabolism went a long time ago. So I could probably sustain it a lot better than the average Brit. But you learn from experience that there's a point you shouldn't go beyond. For me that's around 40. Anything more than that and you risk heatstroke...

    Steaming in Spain!

    We've now had two months non-stop heatwave......40C+ most days! Hottest for 40 years apparently.......and there are numerous cases of people throughout the country dying of heatstroke. The only way to get a ride is go out early.......and keep moving! So I went up the lakes. Too hot to go on...

    Off the Radar in Southern Spain!

    I'd call Cowbridge posh....but not Bridgend! It's tidy enough I suppose.....I do remember seeing a few people with teeth there. Not that I've been there for 25 years or so. I can remember buying bikes there in the 70's......from Two Wheel Services and Les Griffiths Motors!
