Also to add, if you're looking to rent a bike in Southern spain, this is the place to do it. https://www.motomercadorent.net/ We used the Fuengirola location – Jack was the guys name (nicest guy you'll ever meet). He chatted on the phone with me from Canada for a half hour on our first call and...

I rode this with my wife in 2012... first ride outside of Canada. Rented a FZ7 for 3 days starting this route to Ronda, Cordoba, Seville, Grenada and Malaga. Amazing Ride. Used a map so got lost a lot but a great place to get lost. In the middle of nowhere I took off my helmet to take a pic and...

Beauty but what's up with those massive chicken strips?

This is exactly why It’s a pet peeve of mine. Because people are scared to do so (rationally or irrationally) it leads to left lane loafers and ruins the flow, then when the cop gets off at an exit ramp the insanity ensues as everyone is picking up speed and switching lanes. The bigger the...

Another pet peeve of mine while driving on the highways – how people are scared to go faster than a police car. I have never been stopped for passing a cop on the highway at 10km/hr above their speed (providing they're not going more than 110km/hr). If they're going 100 I'll usually pass at 110...

Biggest crime here is not pulling in the clutch when things went south. Like WTF? You'd think that would be an instinct.

Sounds like a lot of phone calls. Didn't realize that was an option, thought you had to do everything in person at the courthouse. Did you set foot in the courthouse?

So throwing **** at the wall and hoping it sticks. That sounds like blatant manipulation of the system. Should be illegal to do so, and hope the cops that do this get reprimanded eventually. So shady and spiteful. How about just doing the right thing – give the highest speeding ticket, and if...

Insane. 7 years ago, I had the biggest a-hole of a cop pull me over on my way to the cottage with my wife. He had a vendetta against sportbikers and threatened to give me a no insurance ticket and have my bike towed roadside because my insurance slip was out of date by a couple months and I'd...

Not sure if I'd be thrilled with that at only 35k. My 2004 GSXR1000 with 100,000km's only issue outside of general maintenance was a sticky exhaust valve. Took the bike in for two valve adjustment checks and the bike has yet to need one. I'd say that's pretty solid.

Thanks for the reminder. It's a been a few years since I've visited. Will be a nice short escape from the insanity of 2 young kids at home, LOL.

0 BAC is horrible. As someone posted, you could easily consume a drink hours before jumping on the saddle and be perfectly alert, the drink long since forgotten, and end up in a lot of unwarranted trouble minutes later. Talk about having to worry about something to the extent that shouldn't have...

Did they ever find the SUV driver?

Seriously. When I was travelling with my wife on a bike trip to New Hampshire a couple years ago, I saw this on their license platex and thought about all the helmetless riders I was seeing. Wonder if any of them were even wearing helmets... still very likely they would have met a similar fate...

To add to this, In all my years of street riding I find the safest technique is to be faster than the other cars, especially on a dense highway. Trying to be cautious by sitting behind one of the slower moving vehicles with cars passing all around you is asking for trouble. There are so many...

Exactly, much more.

Here you go. First accident

This is the most illogical post I've read in a long time. You sound like you're all over the map and are continually acting on impulse. Why replace the Boulevard you crashed with the same bike immediately after your first accident only to decide that you want something more powerful weeks later...

Unbelievable. It’s still spring and we may be off to the worst demo riding year yet. Way to make a point to the insurance industry guys... LOL.

For the most part yes but every kid is different. I rode a GSXR1000 during Suzuki’s long since cancelled demo days in 2004 when I just turned 20. Thanks to that demo ride, within a month I bought the bike brand new at Mcbrides cycle. I remember at the time, there was a group of about 10...
