Day 14 – Gibraltar.. home from home
Just 5 miles to go across the border from Spain into Gibraltar and on to my apartment. Take my time this morning… well I do have all day. Decide to clean the chalky water splash marks off the bike before I go so end up leaving about 12.30ish. It’s another glorious day and before I …

Day 13 – Scorcher!
Struggle to get up this morning after the late night…. Get downstairs to start packing up the bike only to find that one of the other bikers staying here has decided to wash his bike down with a hose… He doesn’t bother to move his bike, which is parked next to mine and sprays water …

Day 12 – Braw Hoggies frae Bonnie Scotland
Get up and decide, what the hell… I will put the bike into the custom show, at least it’s something to do. I give her a quick clean up… Rid the wildlife off the front at least, then make my way to the rally site. Lost again… I’m not even going to talk about it …

Day 11 – Where be them Hoggies?
Arrived at the site about 10am… A bit late really so was expecting a ginormous queue for the wrist bands and rally packs. That’s odd… There’s not very many bikes here… Usually there are several hundred the first day, if not more… Where is everyone??? The queue is short so am swiftly through the process …

Day 10 – Roasted leg anyone?
The plan today is to take it a bit easy… First thing, after breakfast, ride over to Puerto Santa Maria where the Cadiz HD shop is based; Puerto Sherry is just a few miles from there. OMFG the phone routes me onto the A4 nowhere to turn round for 10 miles road again grrrrrrrr, that’s …

Day 9 – Sweet Sherry
This morning I finally fixed the wonky indicator… to a full gallery of spaniards enjoying their churros and cafe con leche; the news on the telly didn’t get a look in! I also gave her a quick wipe over, mostly to cut down on the cleaning later, but also thought the audience deserved an encore. …

Day 8 – Luvverly Lluvia
Despite planning a day off I am up fairly early. Into the shower… err yuck! Black mould in the jets of the shower head and on the ceiling…. Legionnaires anyone? This is deffo the worst hotel this trip, so far. Left around 11 looking for the coast road. Nothing doing so join the main road …

Day 7 – Oh I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside…
Not a very interesting day… Perhaps none of them are. Anyway, for those of you with no life, had a late start, there’s no rush… Only 500 miles to go in 4 days so can afford to take it easy. Got up, the sun is splitting the decks… Hurrah! So I finished the BSL for …
