Saturdays are usually full of work and family stuff and rarely anything motorcycle related. This week would be no exception, with an hour or so of work in my workshop, cleaning the swimming pool, then a shopping trip, followed by more work and finally a late lunch. At around 4 pm though it was all done and the GSXR started to call me.
I can't quite believe it has taken me so long to get out on the bike this year, its the 13th of January, I must try harder. It's not for the want of trying though, but family and work often get in the way, thankfully as I don't live in the UK anymore, (17 years in Spain) the weather generally has little to do with it.
What to do on holiday if you don't have a bike to ride but need a buzz? Throw yourself off a bridge of course.
It's been a few years since I visited a round of the MotoGP championship, even though the Ricardo Tormo circuit is only a little over an hour from my home. Time to get my finger out and go racing again.
During the early part of the year before the racing season started, it looked like Valentino Rossi would retire at the end of 2018 as he hadn't signed a new contract yet. Not wanting to miss out on his final race a plan was hatched and 5 tickets purchased for the Valencia round held at the Ricardo Tormos circuit near Cheste.
What to do? what to do? With the little BMW that is. After about 18 months of ownership a couple of good trips and many days exploring the local mountain roads and trails a decision had to be made over the fate of the bike.
