Spain and Portugal -A brief trip report

[Wapping]

But you’ve got a standard exhaust and a regulation number plate. The bike must be really shite.

The exhaust is indeed standard as not even I can justify £5K plus a days labour for the Akrapovic and all to gain a couple of BHP which this bike needs like I need another gall stone


The number plate is not standard - eco tech tail tidy and 8X6 plate which I reckon is just legal enough not to attract the attention of over zealous rozzers

I am amazed that no one has remarked upon the immense effort that has been put in by Portugal, in having the summit twinned with Chernobyl!
I honestly think it is one the worst places in Portugal to visit, which is rather confusing, as so many make the trip!

The natural beauty is ruined by derelict and unkempt buildings...As soon as you stand with your back to them, it is once again beautiful.

Only just read this and really enjoyed it. Spain and Portugal have some fabulous roads and amazing views. Thanks for posting it up, and hopefully you’re rib has fully mended now.
