Eric built it, :maz: fixed it & I rode it 2 up to Menorca.
X1 thy name is Awesome :worthy:
1250 miles and the only missed beat was a torrential rain storm in northern France where a little missfire caused a bit of concern but we pulled through. :clap:
Arses are a bit sore but local gin is making up for it.
Pics to follow.

Take photos for the calendar...

How about one with a backdrop of the tiled 'street art' by Invader just outside Ciutadella on the Me-1?

I'm taking pics wherever I can, Bull mountain tomorrow and we will be back in Cuitadella for the ferry but it's an early crossing so might not have time.
Changed our ferry anyway so gonna get some time in Barcelona, hoping to get some outside Sagrada Familia.

Leaving Barcelona & heading for the Pyrenees, try to drop in to Bassella - the finest Motorcycle Museum I've ever seen. Hit Seu D'Urgell then the N260 is yours. 8-) :sun:

Good shout Smarty but did the Millau on the way down. It is an awesome site, we went over and then came back and stayed in Millau-great food and a mini tour de France through the the town in the evening to finish it off.

You do know how close that is to the "Rainbow" centre of BCN? - They'll be lady-boys.

Got your invader pic Pash, whether or not it will be good enough for the calendar I don't know as the angle against the roads a bugger to get pictures-especially with dodging the coaches. Theres a lot more traffic here than there has been in the past.
