Short K75s trip

[Deise]

Nice trip Tom, and a great choice of bike.

Super Bock reminds me of Portugal, have you nipped over the border?

Thanks. That was still in Mirandela. An indoor/outdoor bar just at the end of that lovely bridge. It is always busy.

Nice easy style .... enjoying

Can’t you just squeeze it in as a 3rd bike ? It looks like a keeper to me

Negotiations ongoing - its more to do with garage space than money. Be lucky to get 2750 euro for it.

This was a few miles back in Riano



Last night tonight - I do have a reservation

On the way

Those bikes seem very small

Nice touch - guest key

That dot on the hill is a man picking chestnuts





The dogs get all the glory here but I am on my way to see the hens


I assume this is their protection from birds of prey

Looks like you timed your trip well, weather-wise. And that you are taking advantage of the local gastronomy

Damp this morning



First some breakfast



CAKES



Fantastic hotel with friendly and professional staff.

Time to head for Bilbao and ferry.



Time for a Potter along the coast on way



After all that food in Hotel del Oso just a light lunch .

I would be very glad later.



Onwards


After stopping to take this next photo I made a silly error.
When doing a U turn (I know) a briefly put my leg down for balance, forgetting about the panniers. Felt a heavy jolt to my foot but toes and everything was still working. Could have been nasty.

As I changed up through gears I heard a thud. Yes the pannier had come loose with contact and was in middle of road. Luckily no traffic at the time. PHEW .

Atrocious forecast for crossing home and that was proved to be correct. Glad I only had light lunch.

Last time I had travelled solo by bike (France/Spain) was 2011 on a GS1200.
The K75 did not feel in the least bit inferior.

I regarded this jaunt as a slight test after some health issues.
I could have done some things differently but no regrets. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Looking back at these photos it might seem to be cloudy most of the time but that is not how I remember it.

And oh those empty roads.

I was reminded how helpful most people are.

Respect to all you who take the time and effort to produce excellent trip reports.
As I said at the start I never done one before and was very naive to begin one.

Like some journeys once you start you just carry on.

Fabulous, thoroughly enjoyed that.

The K75S is not an inferior motorcycle at all .... there are no inferior motorcycles, only motorcycles

 

[Posh Pete]

And definitely no inferior food on this trip! Great report. Thanks for posting!
