humbucker Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 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 Quote
Tankbag Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Really enjoyed that What editor did you use, woof woof Quote
humbucker Posted June 13, 2019 Author Posted June 13, 2019 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..

Smithers Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Super video, that's got to be pretty much biking heaven over there. Damn! I need to move there...scorchio, fantastico. Quote
humbucker Posted June 13, 2019 Author Posted June 13, 2019 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. Quote
Guest Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 You're in Torrevieja? Is it still overrun with Romanian hookers? Quote
humbucker Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 You're in Torrevieja? Is it still overrun with Romanian hookers? 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.

Been crazy here six!I think you remember me saying that my boy (who worked with me in the business) pissed off to Poland for a bird in September 2016 leaving me carrying everything.He's still there and I'm now a grandfather!The wife's arthritis was getting worse so she had to have a hip replacement last year.....so all that was going on as well.She's still got arthritis.....in her back and neck, but they won't operate on those. Too dangerous. So it's regular scans and continual medication on an ongoing basis.I sold the XT two years ago and just when I think I've got a bit of breathing space to look around a bit......work gets chaotic.....on top of all the other stuff. And as the OP will confirm.......it's not as easy to buy a bike here in Spain. Most of the dealers, even if they've got something to sell, are more often than not, too f**king lazy to sell it to you.Golden years be f**ked! Edited June 19, 2019 by XTreme Quote

Guest Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 That's all I get from everybody.Problem is, where I live, there isn't any big dealers for 160kms. Quote
