Hi from Hackney

Hi there, I left my comfortable life in sunny Spain because I wasn’t earning enough to ride a proper bike. I was riding a Yamaha SR250 for two years and, as much as I loved it, I needed a bit more roar.I came here and in early May spent all my money (and some of a friend) buying a gleaming red Ducati GT1000. The following few months I discovered that I should have put aside some money to get warmer cothes. And a GPS too.

Anyway, the end of the harsh winter is coming (I would say the harsh part is over), and this year I want my lovely red beast to get a few thousand miles. I can hear her crying in the frontyard because she wants to see the continent and the scottish highlands and Wales and whatnot.

So, hello everyone, nice to meet you all.

P.S: Is the image upload broken or is it me?

I’m from Cuenca, a city that few british people has ever seen, deep in a mountain range between Madrid and Valencia. There are many good roads around the place.
