Covid leaves it's mark Bob!

I remember when I had my R1150GS when I first came here. I ended up getting completely lost in the Sierra de Cazorla.....I hadn't seen any sign of life for about an hour. Eventually I stopped for a piss, and as I went back to the bike I thought..... "I don't know where I am, I have no map, no mobile signal, no water, and I barely speak a word of Spanish even if I run into anybody.......and I'm on a BMW! If this fucking thing don't start I'm going to die out here". As it was.....it did start. And I found my way out eventually. But I don't ever want to be in that position again. Now if I'd been on a Jap (particularly Honda or Yamaha) I'd never have thought like that. Because you always knew they would start and keep on running. The 650GS never missed a beat (unlike the 1200GS)......but I would never have trusted either of them in some seriously remote place. The CB or the Strom.......I could take them anywhere and they'd get me home. That's peace of mind!

Didn't you have a problem in Spain and had to go to the Honda dealer to sort it out? And I'm sure I remember Mr Slowly's Enfield having to go on a recovery truck and it ended up in a garage in Granada? Those sort of sound like problems to me!

Flu/Kraken/Long Covid/Mystery Virus update! I'm feeling a bit better every day, and apart from the odd dry cough, and still sore stomach muscles I'm getting there. Just hoping it's not going to come back again as it did two weeks ago. I still tire out quite quickly, but having said that we've been like that since we had Covid in August! So at the moment it's looking like I could be out this weekend after being sidelined for 8 weeks!

Surely you're not going to miss out on visiting places that resemble Dresden in 1945?

Wow.....that's a hell of a big place Eric! What has he got planned for it......Casino and Hotel?
-
Very easy to live with aren't they? And if you've parked up somewhere you always know that it's going to start up instantly. Complete peace of mind!

Still wet there then? How's the CB?

Yeh.....but Mr Slowly already has no hair! What's he got to lose?

I think Mr Slowly needs to experience some Motorcycling Tourettes!
