Bike tour 2013

[HunterICX]

Going from where I live to Cazorla, through Cazorla Park towards Velez-Rubio and from there we crossed the Alpujarras in the Sierra Nevada towards our last destination before heading back home.

Right that's enough text here's some pics :O:
(there'll be more as soon I get them send over to me)

Just before we head off towards Cazorla

(This is in the desert we have around here which actually has a Mini-Hollywood where some scenes have been shot for the movie like Indiana Jones and the last crusade where the tank went off the cliff and some more)

now this is a heck of a way to go down the mountain :cool:

(Drooling) I would love to tackle that stretch of lovely road. :yep:

Very nice shots man. I love the castle in the second pic. :)

[Reece]

Sort of a birthday celebration/gift!! Well drive carefully and enjoy yourself mate!:up:

In Cazorla
Interesting town. I checked google street view where that pic was taken. Crazy narrow streets.

[Schroeder]

Maybe I should go after a bike licence after all...to bad that the bloody clothing costs almost as much as a used bike.:/\\!!:/\\!!

[Herr-Berbunch]

Nice pics HunterICX. :yeah:

Maybe I should go after a bike licence after all...

I thought we'd already agreed you should. :yep:

You'll not regret it, unless you are totally stupid and ride recklessly, but you will regret not doing it. Some clothing can be expensive, like in most things, but you can shop around to get good bargains. It can be a false economy to get the really cheap stuff though, the expenive stuff is generally a better fit and will last longer - but there isn't a guarantee, unfortunately.

[BossMark]

Very nice pictures :up:

[Schroeder]

Nice pics HunterICX. :yeah:
I thought we'd already agreed you should. :yep:

Well...that was at a time when I still had a job....:-?:/\\!!

[Herr-Berbunch]

Well...that was at a time when I still had a job....:-?:/\\!!

Ah, sorry to hear about that. In that case a bike licence can definitely wait.

For now.

[Oberon]

You call that archaeology?! :O::haha:

Great pics, looked like a lovely ride. :up:

[Gerald]

Very nice photos here,:yep:

[Jimbuna]

Nice shots Wim :cool:

In my experience, it's worth more than you pay for it. Like Herr-Berbunch said, don't go cheap, get the best, even if it stretches the budget. It'll be worth it. Working many motorcycle accidents, I saw how helpful the proper clothing can be. It can save your life.

Hunter, great pics. Thanks for sharing.

A rode well worth riding. :rock:

[Onkel Neal]

OMG, I can see now, you're in some kind of Triumph cult. Right, I'm off to the airport with some Yamaha piston rings to break you out and free you! :arrgh!:

Great pics, more!

[Mork_417]

"Triumph cult" :har:

[nikimcbee]

Great photos. Watch out for Tuco though.

:rotfl2:
There where some moments when I saw offroad paths I wished I had my Tenere as I would jump right into those given the chance...but on day 3 when we stopped near a empty gravel river bed I just had to test the Tiger...and it passed with a big smile on my face :D

Great pics, more!

Soon there'll be some video material as well as one of the ''triumph cultist'' had a helmet camera on :03:

Great photos. Watch out for Tuco though.

I have high hopes that one of these the Senior Grammar Nazi is going to learn the difference between "rode" and "road". :oops:

[Oberon]

I have high hopes that one of these days, he will remember to add the word days to his sentence. :yep:

[Sailor Steve]

:rotfl2:

Oops, I mean :oops: again. Except of course that was a simple typo. Still, I should have caught it. :D

[AVGWarhawk]

Great pictures. Weather looks like it is working with you. Road trips! :yeah:

[Jimbuna]

[Betonov]

I'm just missing a driver permit for a MC, a MC and money to get to Spain :wah:

I'm surprised nobody had an accident considering you were all riding on the side of the road :03:

Nice one Wim :cool:

Nice video. What do you guys use for communications with one another while riding? That road sure does look like fun. :D

[HunterICX]

Thanks, but we don't communicate while riding :03:

yeah roads where ton of fun, some parts at some point where we all stopped we said ''let's do that again!''

HunterICX

[Mork_417]

Thanks, but we don't communicate while riding :03:

Ah, gotcha. We use Scala's when we ride, as it helps us to warn each other of animals, traffic, road debris, etc...

HunterICX

Been guilty of that a couple of time ourselves. :haha:

[Lord Justice]

I have high hopes that one of these the Senior Grammar Nazi is going to learn the difference between "rode" and "road". :oops:Grammar posts will only serve to put stain on my character. Yet I sometimes find myself within one's field. :yep:
