Skippy

Ha ha I never thought of that, I like your thinking Michelle ?

It’s lovely mate, what’s the situation at yours then?

A gentle spin out with a couple of mates on their scooters and we even took in some dirt tracks to get to the beach. Fair play to them as it was quite bumpy in places. I forgot my baseball cap hence the daft headwear. Can’t burn my head can I?

No idea mate it all depends on time etc

Did all the boring admin shit today so Sunday is bike day for me. I’m dragging the bastard bike from hell out and the plan is to ride the TL1000S to Calasparra via Lorca and Caravaca. There will be a few of us so I’m sure it’ll be lively!! Yeeeeeehar!???

I wish but I was more interested in saving my leg. Vicious fucking things and very big. Well, medium sized really. Okay, they were only small but had a big attitude. ?

This was just before the goat herders dogs went mental and lunged at me. Fuckers. ?

Here’s mine from today and it’s also a view from the cockpit so two for the price of one! ?

Here you go, it’s a Facebook group. ? https://www.facebook.com/crixusmotorsport/

So folks, if anyone fancies a trip out on the local trails in south east Spain once this pandemic shite is over with then maybe give Crixus Motorsport a shout. Proper good blokes with a wealth of knowledge and they can tailor their trips to whatever you need. Nothing in it for me, just helping out a couples of good mates.

Cheers mate, much appreciated ??

Pete, is it permitted to post up details of a trail riding outfit local to me? I help out from time to time as a favour but there is absolutely nothing in it for me other than having a day out.

Thanks for clarifying the rules. Note to self, must try harder ?

I managed to catch my flip flop on the rear seat as I got off the bike thereby pulling it over on top of me and trapping my right leg under the bike. No photos I’m afraid so I guess it only counts as gossip? ?

Nor me

I must have the only compass that works! It’s still shite but it definitely works! ??

Pete, sounds to me that the CRF is the way to go for your biking needs. A mate of mine has one here and another mate has one in the UK. They are as capable as you’ll need off road and the bloke in the UK did a weeks road trip with a collection of 600cc dirt bikes and wasn’t embarrassed. Great bikes. You could always push the boat out and go for the Rally version?

Brit ghetto? Bloody cheek, there’s more Spanish here than anything. How dare they! ??

Better get a hurry up then, don’t think I’ve taken any this month!

I had one and loved it. Solid bike and capable as a distance tool or thrashing around the Derbyshire trails.

Damn had too much fun to take photos ?

Well it’s stopped raining here and the sun is out but haven’t got enough time to get out today so tomorrow it is then! No specific plans but having just cleaned the Himalayan after it’s last foray into the dusty countryside I think it deserves a relatively clean ride around the local twisty roads. I’ll meet up with the rest of the old farts and see where the mood takes us!

Yes mate, I saw one locally a couple of years ago on UK plates, a 58 reg so the same as my old one but with 50,000miles on I think and they still wanted £3,800. I ain’t paying that.

Shame as I loved my old Tenere, shown here at the top of Mount Jafferau.
