Just back from a trip in the Prynees.
I thought you'd like to see the type of roads I've been playing on for the last days....

I'm officially envious . . . .
I went to university in Spain in the 70's. I'd kill to be able to ride through there again on an R12R. Such a wonderful place. When I was there I met a couple of guys from Ann Arbor, MI riding Norton 850 Comando's through Europe. To this day I can't stop thinking about the 1973 Norton's. lol Well done !!
cheers,
PS I'd love a copy of that 1st picture - with all the switchbacks . . . .

Re: Just back from a trip in the Prynees.
Great pictures kindled a few memories of my own trip there a few years ago!
I can't help but be envious of your ferry from Bilbao. Ours - from UK to Bilbao - had to contend with a 10 meter swell and high winds . On its return sailing a wave smashed the wheelhouse window and it had to run for port! Have you ever spent 36 hours on rough seas and then tried to ride a motorcycle? a truly weird experience!
There's also something quite special about the light quality there on a clear day and the fragrances from the wildflowers are heavenly as they seep into your helmet
