Europe Adventure Ride









On Oct 23,2010 arrived at Tarragonna, Spain. The next day Blackie stop and wouldn't start. Ho ho! Here comes problem. Hey! stay cool and get the UK AAA insurance work. Well, it does though take some phone calls and with difficulties trying to explain to the Spainish fellow what happened. It took 2 days to diagnose the problem ( wire connection to fuel intake broke). Then all back in good running condition.
Andorra state is not to be undercost when you stay there. It is a tourist town. You know what I mean isn't it? Crossing the Pyrenees is one of a heck dreadful experience. On the way up the long and winding road, two cars turn turtle and block half of the road. It was icy road, most campsites closed and find only me the single rider there! What a dude I am. Snow fall as I passed the mountain range. After many finger biting corners arrived Tarrasong Mcquir, the Pyrenees late afternoon.
Some tips controlling Blackie in the icy road:
1. Stay cool and calm
2. Reduce speed
3. Tug your legs firm to the tank while relax your handle grip
4. No sudden brake, instead try glide smoothly at your safe speed
5. Look ahead
6. If have to do, spread your legs out to balance (though looks ugly but it helps to stay upright)
