Just did an eight day trip on the TRK502X which took me from Murcia province, up to Segovia where I met five friends from the UK. From there we went west to Miranda do Duro which is on the border between Spain and Portugal. Further west to Chaves and then onto Porto for two nights following most of the Rota Norte which was fantastic. We headed east to Avila using as many twisty mountain roads we could find and then finally I had to head home to Murcia province. My mates went north via Leon and the mountains so they can get their ferry on Wednesday. Fantastic trip with only a little motorway to get around Murcia city. No rain, great roads, only stopped by the police once early on Sunday morning to carry out an alcohol test (no problem!) The TRK is a fantastic moto and wasn’t left behind by the larger bikes…….and of course, it cost much less to buy! ……..where to next?

Sorry for swearing but I worked until 12.45 ........then I did did unspeakable . . . . . . . . Washed 3 bikes .....having a lie down now , body and mind are in shock Before Ans After

So far it’s been brilliant Saul, it’s a big old lump at standstill but once on the move it handles beautifully. Sure footed, smooth and great looking. A bit more oompf would be nice but not essential…….just carry a bit of corner speed and it makes good progress.

So you admit to tasting Willy in the past then?

Shadow out with her mates. There are still plenty of younger bikers down here. She was second inline riding out.

That got your attention! Get your thoughts out of the gutter. I have been getting a bit of a wiggle from my back end (okay just stop). When I did the inner primary bearing I had a quick check of the swing arm and noticed that the isolator rubbers were looking a bit knackered, for some reason Harley decided that the swing arm pivot shaft should go through the back of the transmission and double up as the rear engine mount. To this end the outer ends of the shaft are mounted in some rubber isolators for vibration damping but to also allow the rear of the motor to move a little in the frame. It is such a brilliant design that they did it differently from the model year after mine. The isolators wear and odd handling occurs, usually a wobble in long curves. With mine I am getting what feels like some rear wheel steer intermittently. Rather than just replacing the isolators, I have decided to fit a different pivot shaft with after market isolators. I have this sat on my dining table at the moment, while I am on I am going to renew the radial swing arm bearings and bushes. So that’s something for you all to look forward to, you lucky people.

Cheers Bob, it was an absolute blast. The lads are up near Gijon tonight and head to the Santander ferry in the morning.

How the fuck would I know, shall I ask Shadow to get his number for you ?

who's the nob on the scooter ?

No mate, not allowed anything like that at the moment.

Rabble rousers, terrorising the local community, terrible behaviour. I blame the parents.

That take me back a few years, she's proper enjoying it.

I blame the cunt that is Starmer

or Tractor

Without a van…

brilliant ... thats what it is all about, get out and enjoy.

Seems a bit redundant, at least 50% anyway.

He is, he’s a dick.

I think this bloke is a frequent traveller on @Buckster's bus .........

Superb Ray, looks like a great trip . Always helps if you get good weather

Yes, Tamworth is the only place in the U.K. where something is made now.

I need a 65" plasma.

Nice one @Saul , did you have a Willy ice cream ........

The lift is faster than the bike.
