As I sit in the frozen wastelands of northern Europe, surrounded by snow, I get frequent reminders of warmer climes.
Carlos, Seville Gav, Estepona Harry, Jean Marie, Caroline and Richard are still in my ‘phonebook’ and report on life across Europe.
I was particularly pleased to get a message this morning from Carlos in Galicia, he has just won his age group in a recent off road motorcycle event! It must have been that extra practice he did when he led me around that dusty track in northwest Spain 😆
Seville Gav is still flitting back and forth between Guildford and the Spanish costas and using his experience to help other would be sun seekers by posting helpful YouTube clips.
Jean Marie is still waiting for the arrival of his new bike, Harry and James still enjoying a more comfortable motorcycling environment, although Caroline and Richard from Amsterdam have been down to the Alps in their campervan 😱 🥶
Back home, I was a little surprised to to find that the editor of the Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club magazine thought that my brief account of the trip was worthy of inclusion in this month’s edition!
It’s good to stay in touch with friends!
As we do! 🤗
That’s wonderful. You’ve made some great friends and I look forward to your book coming out 😜
🤣
Great to see the adventure continues. I read the article in the Triumph Owners magazine and really enjoyed it and I may say well written. Good work and I agree can’t wait for the book to be published and will expect a signed copy.

Cavvy, it’s down to all the practice he got at storytelling on MG11s 😁
Learnt it from the master! 😆
Fabulous Brian, sadly I can’t get a good enough picture of the text to read the publication, but well done I’m sure you have a copy so can perhaps read it when I/we see you next. I can however see the photographs which are lovely, especially the photo with Rach. Xxx 😘
🥰xx
Fantastic. A good read. Using Jackie’s phone as not getting your blogs. Dave
🤗👍🏼
That looks like a lovely piece in the Owners club magazine, well done you! Weather down here is currently 18C…T shirt friendly by the middle of the afternoon. I have all my bike gear down here, just need to rent a bike. There is a Yamaha place in Marbella that I’m hoping can help. So glad you had a largely hassle free trip, and that the brake problem hasn’t reoccurred. Hope to see you at Christmas in MotoLegends!
Thanks Gav, the new rules may put a halt to our planned rv 🤦🏻♂️🤞🏼
