XTreme

Did about 100 miles on the XT today.....some of the places you may have seen before though. The lakes at Castril.... I then crossed into the Jaen province across the Sierra de Cazorla, then back into Granada arriving at Lake Negratin near Zuhar. Then over to Baza and back towards Huescar through Cullar. I stopped off in Galera on the way back and took some shots of the cave district. So how is the weather in Britain at the moment?

Right here Tom....

He died about a year ago I think merv.

Hi!

Another one who's escaped from Police State UK! The rest of you.....get out while you still can!

You have to check your pressures all the time Tom....besides uneven tyre wear your life is on the line if you don't. 36/42 is generally the best combination for most bikes. And don't forget to check, adjust, and lube your chain regularly too.

Really living the Honda lifestyle now then Tom?

I've never seen a Big Brother in my life Tom! I rarely watch TV tbh.

You guys watch Big Brother? Get a life FFS!

If you want more power just buy a bigger bike! There's no logic in trying to trying to make something out of a small machine.

All the best Baz.....looks like he's become yet another victim of the "I can't take any more fuckwits" syndrome!

Like Scott says....it's always been a problem! They either don't post at all, or just submit one dumbass question like "How can I jump my DT125 over the Grand Canyon?" In the end you lose the will to reply to these fuckwits....and when they don't get a reply they start getting obnoxious as if it's our job to cater for the whims of these dickheads!

I can do you guys a deal on a house over here you know!

With temperatures around 15c and not a cloud in the sky....I decided to go and explore the Sierra De Castril natural park in the province of Granada, Spain! It starts about 30 miles from where I live, and once you get into the natural park itself, it's all dirt tracks and gravel around the network of lakes. I would estimate you could go for about 40 miles into it....and not see a soul. The views in the mountains are amazing! Then as I got further into the park I could see the lakes... Nice backdrop for the XT.... These seem to go for miles, breaking off into small rivers and streams... After about 15 miles of this I had no idea where I was. Then I came across a sign....it said "You are here". Unfortunately it didn't say where "here" actually was....but at least I could see that the only way out was the way I came in! So it was turn round and head back.....but as usual, I got caught up in a load of farm animals! Eventually I got back on the main road....if you can call it that. Spotted a load of old caves in the mountainside too! And then into Castril itself....which is mainly cobblestone streets. Desperately needed a coffee by this time! And then back home! And to give you an idea of the volume of traffic here....I was out for 3 hours, did about 80 miles, and I only had to overtake one car! It's great....where I live, whether it's road or trail....you have complete freedom! So....how are things in Britain these days?

Huescar in the Granada province! Beats the UK anyday! This is what it looks like here at the moment.....

Hi Paul! Nice to see you.....I'm a Welshman in Spain! You anywhere near Auxerre?......cos a Brit mate of mine lives there!

All the best to everybody....just remember to keep cleaning those bikes!
