Storm arrives in Spain - at Last!!!

Post by Boubepo »

I wait six weeks to get my bike over here and now I can't get my wife off it! Teaching her to ride a bike 30 years ago was a mistake! - Young guys - learn from this mistake - keep your wife in the kitchen

If I've posted these correctly, the second photo should show the Rock of Gibraltar in the hazy background.

Needless to say, I'm happy to get my Storm here at last!!!!!

Thanks for the comments chaps

The roads out here are generally good but many of the roads tend to have less grip than UK roads. You can often see the sheen, almost like a mirror when the sun is low. When building roads over here, they mix marble powder and additives in with the Tarmac to stop the Tarmac melting in the heat, which explains the sheen.

First thing I did when I got the bike was put Bridgestone S20's on, well actually it was the second thing I did, the first thing I did was prise my wife off the seat!

All is fine on the hygiene side - I Think the attachment might have something to do with the thumbing, rhythmic vibrations coming through the seat though!

Obviously that should read thumping vibrations - not thumbing - perhaps I was thinking of something else :)

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

The yellow Honda 400 SF is hers - Any other bike, including the Storm are mine, that's fair enough - right?
