  1. No idea, I haven't spoken to a hooker to find out where they are from! But seriously, yes, Torrevieja used to be a shit hole with a bad reputation. Over the last decade the town has worked hard to clean up, modernise and has spent millions (of your tax euros it has to be said) making it a far friendlier and pleasing place to live. The front has been re built with the pedestrianization of many areas and traders returning to fill the empty commercial centres. The investment by both Government and the private sector has pushed it well into the top of the league for places that are booming here in Spain and no, not like the old days of guns and bombs lol.
  2. I have been here many years and no matter where I go, the scenery and epic roads just keep coming. All year riding and plenty of quiet roads, Spain as is as you say biking heaven. My limited funds don't allow travel very far but there is plenty to see in the Murcia and Alicante regions.
  3. Some bikes you love from the off, others do take some time. Maybe, due to your lack of bikes owned it is difficult to say if this is how you should be. I would stick with it for now, if you have a summer out of it and are still not sure, then you should think about a replacement.
  4. Wonder how those things called, what is it again...oh yes,..cars, will be affected. Some of them can crack a wall with their through exhausts. Also, best place to site them is out in the sticks. More chance of saying which bike it was offending and not in a city where there are bikes everywhere and you find yourself pinned for nothing you did.
  5. Glad you enjoyed it. I use VSDC Free version, it is packed with features many others charge for. There are few limitations, supports every file format I have heard of and it runs very well on an old PC like mine. It is consistently rated in the top levels of lists by the reviewers. Wags tail..
  6. Our club's Sunday ride this month was to the mountain range of Sierra Espuña. Forests and narrow roads serve to give bikers an amazing ride. Sorry about the bug on the lens. I broke the first rule of camera work, keep it clean! https://youtu.be/5D_1ZGQZWuw
  7. I bought a cheap as chips model off ebay, works a treat. Given the current trend among certain old van drivers in our area to back into a car and claim they were shunted, it is a worthwhile investment.
  8. Took my name from the pickups on my Les Paul guitar. It just sounded better than Single Coil, the variant on the Fender, which makes me sound like some sort of contraception device....
  9. I was sure I posted up part two. Old age is creeping in, sigh. Anyway, here are the last two parts. Graphic violence in the third part. You have been warned. Part Two: https://youtu.be/b5Nxd-vGCw8 Part Three: https://youtu.be/ZVHn84TPHJk
  10. Thanks. There will be one maybe 2 more from this trip as well
  11. Sorry I have been very quiet in the forums, I am making an effort to be more active now. Anyway, my club had their first trip recently, sadly I couldn't go but I am putting the video together. Jaw dropping scenery, waterfalls and general rideness within. The intro is well over the top but I had a blast making it and working it all out. As always, if you like the videos, please plonk a like or subscribe to help the channel. https://youtu.be/fkT1Jr6QuRc
  12. Agreed, that Sunday was bad but it is so localised. One town is bathed in sunshine, the next has cars floating down the streets.
  13. Yes, the majority of us are full time. There are some who split their time between here and their home countries and some who just come along when on holiday. A very mixed bag of nationalities as well.
  14. A short video of our ride to a mountain village last Sunday. Weather played it's part, the rain does NOT always stay mainly on the plain. https://youtu.be/UXrWmKQlVpM
  15. Our latest club run last Sunday, altered somewhat due to cyclists wanting to ride through our destination. Still a great day. if you like the video I would be really grateful if you share it. I love showing people where I ride. https://youtu.be/HMuwulWrhO4
