Posted July 26, 20177 yr Moderator this is the bit where I start thinking if I have done enough prep for the Spanish trip next week.  I have lists and I know I've asked peeps about what to take. Just seen the news last night and Spain and Italy are in a drought although I have a friend in Pamplona ATM and she says its raining! so I'm excited and a little worried at the same time. Still wouldn't swap it for the world.  I just got to keep the missus sweet as its our 25th wedding anniversary when I'm away too  Â
July 26, 20177 yr I know the feeling mate, but you have to remember that virtually anything you forget you can get abroad!
July 26, 20177 yr Me too bound to forget something, more worried about the bike holding out tbh but can't wait. Also need to finish job I'm on or I won't have any spends lolÂ
July 26, 20177 yr You'll be fine tommo! If my aprilia with 70k on it managed an average of 190 miles a day your bike can!
July 26, 20177 yr I know its capable its just cos not had it long and although I've done a few things to it, not really had it to bits yet so keep thinking there could be something I haven't thought of that I should have done.

Maybe 10 hours ago, slice said: Good luck lad's take plenty of photos and stay safe..! Thanks Slice I always start out with the intension of taking loads of pics but get wrapped in the experience and forget or just can't be bothered faffing around with gadgits but then I always regret it when I get home, luckily Drew always takes a few pics but I have invested in a camera so we'll see how that goes.
August 1, 20177 yr Well we've made it on the ferry ok but Drew has a screw sticking out of his back tyre so first thing we need to do is sort that out when we land which is tomorrow about 130pm All the southern softies went to bed hours ago but me & Drew are propping up bar we're about turn in though as don't want to miss brekkyÂ
August 2, 20177 yr Same thing tonight me & Drew left in the bar and the ss have gone back to the hotel best holiday ever though, brilliant roads apart from the ones you have to pay for, looking forward to tomorrow just hope I don't have a hangover.
