another cat from Spain
Hi mates! Here comes a 2001 Blue Thundercat from the southwest of Spain. Since I was a baby my house has been always full of motorbikes (my father owns a 1990 Virago XV535, a Moto Guzzi Cardelino 75, my brother owns a 2007 Ducati 749) I have owned bikes since I was 14 with bikes like Aprilia RS50, a 200cc pitbike and a GasGas EC200 (2 stroke enduro power!!). Now I'm very happy with my 'cat and I think I'm not going to change it for a long time. I came here to discover new things about our amazing 'cats and make new friends. I can say, that I own my bike since june last year, 39k on the odo, two owners before me but it was perfect... A year after, 41k on the odo, and no problems at all. I bought it from a man that was going abroad and had to sell it so it was my chance. Hope I can meet nice people here and learn more about my 'cat.

Welcome to the forum - was that by chance you happened to stop in front of that picture? (Would've been a good one for a caption competition).

Re: another cat from Spain
Thanks for the warm welcome, you'll see me around from time to time here...there isn't a thundercat club or forum in Spain and it looks like I'm going to learn a lot of things here.
It was by chance. We stopped in a friend's fuel station and he took the picture to post it in his blog.

Hi & welcome.

Hola Spanish_Thundercat
No hablo español
Glad you found us here. I was in a group of 6 bikers (all from this forum) who visited northern Spain in and around the Pyrenees last year.
You have a beautiful country, fantastic scenery, fantastic roads (the twisty ones - coloured green on the map we had), lovely food and inexpensive wine (well the stuff we had was --- typical scots couldn't pass up the bargains.)
Can you tell us why the tyres as so expensive....was there a tourist tax?
Around 500 euros for new tyres for a fireblade????
Cheers
Rosco

Welcome to the site and well done on finding us. I'm sure there'll be more trips to Spain in the future so you might be able to make a rideout! Glad you're enjoying the cat. It's a great bike and you have the perfect roads to use it to it's full ability - enjoy.

Re: another cat from Spain
Thanks to all for the warm welcome.
I don't know how much do a pair of new tyres cost there, but here you pay €338 for the new continental race attack (just the tyres, then you have to pay the assembly that can cost more or less €50 (1 hour to put them)) and i think they also ask for money to destroy your old tyres...i'm afraid that there wasn't a tourist tax, but you can find them cheaper deppending on the place you go.
