  1. Your PAc tried to make you get on a bicycle wearing a dress?
  2. .......about how to get on a bike if you're a bit short or have bad hips? I believe this pic demonstrates the correct technique better than I ever could. And for some reason this method seems to stick in your mind.
  3. The mechanical drama gives it a bit of mystery though!
  4. This is brilliant again Pedro! The cops there ride F650GS's then?
  5. Had to I'm afraid Dave......otherwise it'll descend into a mirror of Facebutt with 2 opposing sides!
  6. And those memories will always stay with you Pedro. Glad that you shared all of it with us.
  7. My god.......that is a nightmare Pedro! How didn't it put you off Beemers?
  8. You're lucky that was under warranty!
  9. Incredible Pedro........this has to be the most outstanding ride report that we've had so far. I'm on edge waiting here for the next instalment of the leaking Beemer! What you say @Tym?
  10. No they're fine Pedro.......and this is a fantastic trip!
  11. This stuff is amazing Pedro! You seemed to be getting on well with the monkeys?
  12. Are you allowed to use the bike?
  13. Fantastic Pedro! Strange to see the 1150 cockpit view again after all these years.
  14. Why are all those Porsche's there together?
  15. So it seems like the hammer has come down in South Wales then?
  16. Shit! And you'll find that as you get older things take a lot longer to heal Chris!
  17. I like big Thumpers......and no doubt after all the aircooled XT's I've had it'll probably feel pretty smooth to me.
  18. Something must be wrong with your browser again @Lone Amigo Empty your cache.
  19. Unlike most of the abandoned villages I've visited, the residents of Los Goldines did not voluntarily leave their homes for economics reasons. Instead, they were evicted by the State during the Franco era. Then the buildings were demolished so they couldn't return. This was due to the creation of the Cazorla-Segura National Hunting Reserve in 1960, as it required a change in the usage of large tracts of land, land that contained a number of villages and whose residents were evicted. Los Goldines is one such village, and like the others all that remains today are the ruins of some of the expropriated houses. What happened to the villagers? Apparently they were then taken to live in Santiago de la Espada which is 25kms away. Were they financially compensated? It doesn't seem like it, because it appears some of the affected families are still trying to pursue legal action to try and recover what used to be the land and dwellings of their grandparents.
