You may want to send member "Jaime" a PM. He hasn't been on in a while but sending him a PM should notify him via his personal e-mail. He was in Spain, as is AlanTF. Maybe you guys could form our European union coalition.

True. We even have some Eastern Euro/Russians so we're like, totally global. It's awesome.

Thank you for sharing your rides and country. It is always a treat to see where others are from and to get a sense of their history and life style. A smaller bike looks to be ideal for your back yard.
How did you like the different and more aggressive tires compared to the OEM tires. They look like they would be better for some of the rougher areas where you went.

Thanks for taking the time to post your trip.

Beautiful country and the bike looks very good.

Hi, yeah the tires is a great upgrade, in my trips i use to go to trail, and dirt roads, so i made the choice of putting some dualsport tires in it, and it run great....

That is a pretty narly trail for a small street bike. I think if it was me up there I would be running 1 tooth less on the front sprocket for more useable power without added speed. Great place to get away from it all. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, after some trails experiences i did that, instead of the original 15t sprocket i install an 14t, and now it runs great in inclined trails with much more "engine"...cheers
