Off to Spain in the morning

Post by Rosco on Fri May 08, 2009 3:21 pm

Dirt Bike Dave, Furball, Eddie990, Catapulted, TerryLees and I are off to Spain tomorrow. (well heading doon sooth tomorrow and then the Ferry on the Sunday)

Hoping to set a new record of the furthest travelled on my bike but won't want to be breaking this NAUGHTY RECORD

We might get a chance to post up while we are there but if not I'm sure we will bore to tears with stories and pictures and maybe even some video when we come back.

Radar has set the bar for write-ups ....... don't know if we'll manage to raise the bar but we will try.

Cheers
Rosco

If your in the neighbourhood you just gotta do the Tossa de Mar to Sant Feliu de Guixols road in the YouTube video and shown on the wee map.

It's about 70 miles North and East of Barcelona.

Ran out of video before the road ends.

If you're not screaming for a straight bit of road at the end, there's something mildly wrong with you.

Hope you all have a fab time - look out for Xs on the roads (and make sure you wear baggy trousers if you go to 'the country that must not be mentioned'! seeing as how you're not taken Euan to act as you Bee-atch!) Wink
Ride safe x

Day 1: We made it to Leominster. Rosco kept us late by going to the wrong service station. Even though the correct one is only 10mins from his house. Davie then tried to water his helmet from the inside and bits keep falling off Rosco's bike. Chris (eddie990) has a clutch problem we're franticly trying to sort before the ferry tomorrow.so far me and terry are numpty point free!!
Will update as free wifi/Internet connection allows

Rosco here on dave's iPhone.... We are now in the bar on the ferry. Got a new bulb but didn't get time to fit it. Chris's clutch gave up and we all took it in turns to push him (bump start) him except terry who used the excuse that since he could put his hazards on that excused him from pushing. Never sweated so much in my leathers. we managed to get bottles of hydraulic fluid in exeter to get chris going again. On 3rd pint now, hope the journey is smooth.

Cheers
Rosco Sick

So far the weather has been excellent. Roads are fantastic. We went thru the mountains yesterday and stopped for a snowball fight. Last night was barbecue and red wine night. Nothing else has fallen off Rosco's bike and me , chris and terry hunted down a KTM dealer ( eventually). Really helpful as they didn't have the part so they stripped one off a new bike in the showroom. Chris is chuffed to bits his bike is back to 100%. Furballs, Rosco and catapulted rode into France for lunch today .We've been stopped by the rozzers once and just a quick license check and that was that.
Shifting camp tomorrow, hopefully find another site with free wifi.

we've made it to a campsite just outside Barcelona. Last night was spent at a campsite on the shores of lake caspe. Rosco tried his hand at windsurfing. Pretty successfully too. Weather has been ace and the scenery has been breathtaking. I got ass f* cked for a front tyre in Barcelona. 213 fekkin euros !! The boys have all been very symapthetic. NOT!! Day off the bike tomorrow doing touristy stuff in Barcelona then it's back to the mountains.

Back home after approx 3000 miles.

Great trip. Northern Spain is beautiful and roads are unbelievable. Made to be ridden on. Weather was brill, company was brill, spanish tyres were expensive and my chain is nearly hanging off now.

Will post up some pics soon(ish). I think there may be one or two caption competitions.

Cheers
