hehe, didnt take any pics on the road, and dont think the missus wants the pics i took of her on nuddy beach posted on here

hi guys, well what can i say. the trip to salou was bloody great. great roads to salou and a bit of touring in the hills. great holiday. riding in spain is a must.

woohoo, not long now

woohoo, just 7 more shifts at work then I am off to spain Matlock to overnight at the daughters in horsham, then early ish start to catch the morning ferry to bilboa from Portsmouth. Thrash down Spain to my apartment in cap salou, meet up with the missus in the evening who is flying down to reus.

hi, hadnt thought about my insurance company. i looked at rac, got a better quote from the aa as iam already a member, but i dont mind paying a few quid extra if iam gonna get peace of mind.

Well if your going over the snake, there's a decent cafe in glossop, turn left at the lights in middle of glossop a624 towards Buxton's. Cafe on the left 100y from x read.

Yondermans is very good, no frills just decent grub. Ladybower, if you go to the official cafe,nice views but a bit pricey if you go to the layby a hundred meters past the turn into ladybower cheaper but not many seats.

Going g to Spain later in the year and looking for breakdown cover. Anybody got any good recommendations who to go with? I am an AA member, for vehicles not booze, so I thought ide contact them first but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Finally got the trip booked that years ago was going to do but for a dozy woman driver knocking me off and wrighting my bike off. I have the Portsmouth Balboa ferry booked for early September and returning after 2 weeks. Day one consists of a steady run to horsham to stay overnight at the daughters house. Day two is a fairly early start to get to portmouth ferry terminal by eight for check in, then sit in limbo till docking in Balboa. Day three and the run to salou. According to the timetable, the ferry is due in balboa around one o'clock, I am assuming its gonna take an hour ish to get off the boat and clear customs. I am sticking to the main routes as I want to hit salou well before 8 ish as I need to meet up with the key holder for the apartment. Gonna fill up to the brim in Portsmouth, and as big suze will easily do 200 miles before I need to fill up, I am hoping I can do it with just the one stop. The missus is flying in to reus airport for eight ish so I am hoping I can get the apartment sorted and the bike unloaded, and if my arse is up to it, meet her as she clears customs. I am getting the sensor thing for the tolls so I don't have to mess about with cards or cash.gonna get decent breakdown cover,I am allready in the AA and I've been looking at their foreign cover. Done my research regarding what docs I need etc. Am over simplifying the trip? Have I missed anything crucial? Am I overcomplicating everything? This will be my first overseas trip,drove a car in Spain a few times,never a bike. And as I am doing the trip on my tod I am both excited and looking foreward to the experience but a little nervous as I only have myself to rely on. Anyone got any tips or advice? Have I missed anything?

Have a look at ultimate addons website, very good and mounts to suit every bike
