Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Some of you may know me from other places.....and if you don't, I'm old, Welsh, and been in Spain since 2005.

I currently have a G650GS....which is bike number 64 since 1971.

When I'm not under Covid restrictions on travel I like to get to unusual places like abandoned railway stations, abandoned villages......anything that's Urbex related really.

Here's a couple of shots.....

welcome in, nothing like a wander around abandoned places whenever I come across something I always create a waypoint in case I pass nearby sometime, not much locally to me anymore. Heres one from the old homeland for yer A big disused quarry near Merthyr needless to say I were'nt supposed to be there, .

Welcome Xtreme, that bike is leaning too far on it's side stand

Are you the forum troll?

Cos I have a Puck now.......and I'm not afraid to use it! Weather permitting of course!

Wet a bit windy but not cold here in turkland pretty sad here at the moment really, Swansea probably similar but we are not allowed to travel past the end of the drive unless it is to shop, work or get buried or that sort of thing. Bike riding has probably subtly changed less sports bikes more ADV type bikes with far less places to play, most of the coal tips where many of us tried to learn our craft have gone. On the plus side the birds are singing they at least think spring is on the way. Been looking at Spanish/Portuguese maps for a couple of days, Cantabria- Galicia- Portugal- Algarve- diagonally back to Cantabria making some dust a long the way, an unfinished trip/plan thanks to a finicky orange motorbike only done 50% last time. Which bit of IMO the best motorbiking country in Europe do you now call home?

I'm in Huescar, Granada......3000ft up in the mountains!

So I'm as far removed from life on the Costas as you could possibly get.

Allo xtreme, I think I know you from https://www.adventuremotorcycles.net/
