Pete Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 .....somewhere near Cartagena! I'd seen posters advertising this event but I couldn't make any sense of the directions. So I thought....no problem, just get into Cartagena and follow the bikes! However I was wrong! I get into Cartagena, and the only thing I can see are scooters! Oh....and a bike up a wall! So I keep going and I find a Ninja in front of me....so I start following him! Cos he must be going to the Moto Exhibition surely? However, this dipshit thinks I want to race him through the centre of Cartagena! So he's riding like a Twat trying to lose me.....and try as he may, he couldn't shake off the XT! Every bit of straight he'd pull away, and every roundabout I was with him again. In the end, he jumped a red light and nearly got T-boned by traffic crossing....all to get away from me! So tonight in Cartagena a Spanish squid is telling all and sundry how he nearly got killed on his ZX6-R burning off a 15 year old 30bhp enduro ridden by an old bloke in his 50's! And all I wanted was directions to the Moto Exhibition! So I ride around a bit more, and come up behind about 15 bikes....sports, standards, cruisers etc. Cos over here people just ride together irrespective of machine type! So I think....they must be going to the Moto Exhibition! Let's join in with them! So off we went! However, after about 25 miles of country roads, I began to suspect that perhaps they were not going to the Moto Exhibition! My suspicions were confirmed when they all pulled into somebody's driveway leading to some luxury villa! So I kept going....fuck knows where....then I found this! I carried on regardless, and was way up in the mountains....somewhere! And it was getting cold, so I was busting for a piss! So off I go up a trail.... I go about half a mile, find a deserted spot....and leap off to piss! And as I'm pissing in the middle of nowhere, along comes a fucking German rambler! Please note the piss behind the rear wheel! I then follow the trail for a few miles.... ....and eventually get back to the main road! About 5 miles later, things start looking more pleasant! I ride along the coastal path....and look at the colour of that sea! No condoms or sewerage in there....I think! I take a look at the signs and it appears I'm in Mazarron! A few more miles and I'd have crossed into the Almeria province of Andalucia! I turn round and head back along the coastal road, and after about 30 miles I'm back in Cartagena! Still no Moto Exhibition though! Time for coffee..... There was another bike there, but I had a feeling it wasn't headed to the Moto Exhibition though! I sat outside the cafe leering at young Spanish bimbos while the XT looked super cool (and dusty) at the side of the harbour! A strange day really....I took the XT cos I was only planning on doing about 20 miles, and I ended up doing nearly a 100. And the Moto Exhibition? Fuck the Moto Exhibition!
