Gdoggs On The Road Again! - Gdog - 30-03-2025
Hola mi Amigos
I am back on two wheels again after what seems like an eternity, its not a TDM or even a Yamaha but I thought I would share with you cats anyway.
I thought it would be best to start off with a lightweight machine to see how I'd cope with these wonky arthritic shoulders and being on the wrong side of the road !!Â
Picked up a 2022 Aprilia SR GT 125, only has 6000k on the clock, the dealership delivered it to me last week from Murcia ( yes I'm a resident of España now), so I've been nipping about the villages and Urbs in the area, loving it. If I can cope with this I'll trade up for something bigger next year, should be OK I will let you know how I get on

Perfect for the area not too much power.
AliG has an 865cc Bonneville SE with the 17 cast alloy wheels. Easy to ride and turns in well.
Glad to hear ilife is good

Doing some good stuff with scoots now days. Couple of people I know have a Honda and a Kawasaki, both 300cc if I remember right and really rate them.
Enjoy Gav. :drinks:âÂ

Enjoy Gav. :drinks:âÂ

Gdogg rides again :good: would'nt need much more power on those roads fella, i'm on 24hp nowadays and does the job just fine, may be following in your footsteps to Espana !?!? we'll see.

Thats why I enjoy my Royal Enfield Classic 500 chrome. Perfect for places like Spain. 27hp but lots of torque is great. Cafés are a challenge because any number of old men appear, wanting to talk old bikes. I can also treat my polishing addiction.

"Following" as in relocating?, or holidaying?Â
