Finished my Spain and France drive, tarifa Friday morning, Malaga teatime, slept in hotel right by Valencia circuit by accident early Saturday morning, drove to girona Saturday evening then into France over millou bridge, searched van by police at the end of the bridge then up into France further slept in van woke up went to the worst McDonald's known to man, chatting to 3 guys who are roadies for Saxon good crack, they were in Barcelona on Saturday and tonight they are in Paris at the balatican? Sure it's tonight, delivered stuff from Cadiz into Highgate this morning right near Karl Marx, driving round Paris at 1am this morning dashed to the tunnel, oh and delivered a gorgeous 999r to a very nice chap on here in Stamford bloody love that bike, oh and I am back to Leeds now starving but want a Guinness I guess it's food though.
Lazt bus ride into town. McDonald’s coffee. Lazy bus ride to airport for car rental pick up. What a shit experience car rental is. Still, €2.50 for 5 days (and I opted for a bit of insurance for €35) cant be sniffed at. Now mobile....and saw a multi parked in town
Yeah, but I work 3 days a week to supplement my beer money and pay for new cam belts and possibly new starter leads
Today I went for a ride with my next elder brother. He’s been in and out of hospital for months and months. Chemo and radio therapy, big op to remove the tumour followed by all sorts of post op complication after complication. It’s been 4 or 5 months since he’s had a ride and it was really good to see him fit enough to ride a bike again. It was a really good day with a couple of friends as well. Then we all had dinner and drank lots of wine, bad head. Carpe diem.
Ps1000 new insurance due today so just paid outpopped into my local for a cuppa/chat and they are stacked out to the rafters with bikes
