XTreme Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Weather's getting easier now......the temp was 23C with a light wind! So it was perfect conditions! Talking of perfect conditions......remember the pics I posted up a week or so ago of the storm that we had? Well today I went down one of the roads that I usually go on to cross into Almeria......and it's completely wrecked! God knows how bad it was further down so I went back up onto the main road towards Murcia......then back onto the rural ones. Then I found an abandoned country house in the Murcia province! This one was filled with carcases of dead farm animals.....fucking stinking it was! @yen_powell would have loved that shit! The thing was collapsing everywhere..... But being such a legendary Rugged Individualist I still went in! You can see some more dead livestock just behind the door.....I'm OK with that sort of thing as long as it's not a dog! Then it was back on the road again! Crossed into Almeria and then reached the border with Granada! All in all I did about 200kms (125 miles) and it only used €10 of fuel! I've now owned it a year and just passed 5K kms that I've done on it! 24K kms/15K miles on the clock in total! The warranty has just expired so I'm now in unknown territory! But all reviews state that this is a very well built and under-stressed motor capable of very high mileages if maintained properly! So I should be fine......shouldn't I? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it will last years if it’s looked after but you won’t keep it that long will you, nice pics @XTreme, I don’t suppose that road will get,a repair anytime soon though will it?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well, it won't break down just because you haven't got a warranty, will it? Thinking about it, when's the last time a bike broke down on you, that you are so worried about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 We had a holiday in Mojacar, during the night it thundered and lightened on scale I have not seen in the UK......but it never rained in Mojacar. But it must have rained up in the hills,as the next morning there was a 10ft deep rut where the stream ran into the sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a low point isnt it. When someone youve never met occupies that much head space you think of them while doing something far more interesting 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
