Not really a ride report, just some pics, staying in Girona, Spain for a week. We got a Suzuki 650 Naked rental bike, some pics from cruising around the area.

Staying in this 9th century medievel city:

Going to Spain later in the year but it seems like bike rentals are crazy expensive.
 
Be interesting to hear your thoughts on that old city and Spain in general.  Never been there but looks like a nice country, (current economy excluded)
 
I want to go back to Spain for sure. We only managed a couple of days in Barcelona. Its a great country.

Flew to Barcelona after some weeks in Scotland and Netherlands, both those two countries people are super friendly when compared to Italy/France/Austria/Germany. The town here, Girona, is very touristy so people are super friendly and most have some understanding of english. Everything is hella expensive though with the exchange rate, expect to pay 2.50-3.00 euro for just a coke. Scenery and riding is incredible though, lots and lots of mountain passes, great climate etc. Going to Spanish MotoGP on Sunday, and then another week on the other coast of Spain so will report on what its like compared to here then.
 
I suppose somebody's gotta do it.  It must be hell!



Enjoy yourself.
 
I dont get jealous.. I am just not built that way.. you can have the biggest house, best car.. so what

But seeing those pics.. knowing you went to the GP

:dousing: :dousing: :dousing:

OFFICIALLY JEALOUS
 
Mannn...that looks so good! And the Spanish women...? :drif:

my brother in law lives outside of barcelona - and does bike rentals and tours.
He has a couple of 80s classics.
