Down and Dirty Part II

We are based in Southern Spain just 20 minutes from Malaga airport in the picturesque mountain village of Alhaurin El Grande.

We pick you up from the airport in one of our 'limo's' and hand you a cold beer!

Located just 20 minutes from Malaga airport!

Testimonial:

“Hi Lyndon,

On behalf of all twelve Swedes, I want to express our honest and deepest THANK YOU for a fantastic adventure in Andalucía!!! We had extremely FUN riding along the trails and riverbeds! The guides (Domien and Carlos) are most certainly the best possible! Everything went just perfect (except for a twisted knee). The whole trip exceeded our expectations by far. Some of us even mentioned it was their best biking experience ever!

Believe me we will spread the word around about Torotrail amongst our biking friends in Sweden!!!

Hope to back sometime soon!

Keep up the good work!

Stefan Cedegren”

Motorcycle Lodge

Gary France posted this on his USA Tour blog and it looks like a great idea.

“I was cruising the web earlier today and I looked at a blog that I like – it is called Thunder Road. Essentially a guy (Radar) in Texas who loves motorcycle touring is considering setting up a lodge (or lodges) to specifically cater for touring bikers. He is gathering information on what bikers might want out of such a lodge and he wants people to visit his blog to vote on this. I have voted and it struck me that I could help by publicising the need for as many bikers to visit his blog and vote.
If you want to vote and help determine what his lodges should contain, or if you want to publicise this on your own blog if you have one, then visit The Thunder Road Blog”

Want To Get Down And Dirty?

P6041753 When I first moved to Spain in 1999 I went off-roading with Juande Sempere on a bike lent to me by my friend and workmate Chato. The bike was a trials bike, you know the type, no seat! Juande took me in to the mountains around Castalla for an early morning start at 6am. By dinner time I had been on tracks and over rocks well and truly outside my comfort zone and I was absolutely knackered but it was a fantastic experience.

I also did a track day with Octavio Sempere but that’s another story.

The photo is from a trip I did in June 2007, my second and last time off-road.

For all of you who haven’t tried it give it a go. You will have spills but more than that it tests you and when you get it right it’s exhilarating.

Is it a Plane? Is it a Trike?

Take a look at the Samson Motorworks web and judge for yourself.

If you are thinking of buying a Swithblade then you’d better start saving as the fully functional version will cost around $80.000. You might be thinking that you can save money by hopping over those toll booths but there is no way you’ll be allowed to take off from anywhere but a designated airfield.

USA Tour on a Harley-Davidson

In June 2010, Gary France will be starting a 4 to 5 month, 13,800 mile tour of the USA on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. At the moment, he is in the planning stage and this blog gives details of how the planning is going. Later, when he is on the tour, it will be updated daily.

Gary said, “I am planning this 13,800 mile tour across the USA from my home just north of London in the UK. I have two Harley-Davidsons motorcycles and I am fortunate that I am able to retire early (part-time at least), put away my business suits and then do some of the things I have wanted to do for years!”

Keep an eye on his blog and enjoy the journey with him. He is also asking for your opinion on lots of subjects. Get in there and contribute.

Bank Aid - Do They Loan This Christmas

Honolulu Bikers Spread Christmas Cheer

Thousands of island bikers are riding to raise money for children's Christmas presents. Video

Bikers bring Christmas joy

BY MICHAEL INMAN (Canberra Times)

THE SIGHT of bikers roaring into Civic might, under other circumstances, send parents and children scurrying.

But yesterday the region's motorcycle riders showed their softer sides as they donated money and toys to St John's Care and the Salvation Army at the Canberra Motorcyclists' Toy Run. The 28th annual run was the largest ever, attracting more than 1000 bikers from about 10 ACT clubs, including the Ulysses Club and the Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club.

The whiskered, leather-clad bikers donned red Santa caps and opened their wallets to raise more than $6500 for St John's Care, while the Salvation Army was inundated with hundreds of toys to ease the burden on battling families.

Happy Christmas, bikers!

By Erin Baker at the Telegraph

Merry Christmas one and all – is there anyone still reading this at their desks, or have you all biked off for Christmas already? Bunch of slackers.

I drove my Golf VI 2.0 turbodiesel test car into work yesterday (lovely, lovely) and followed a Gixer for most of the way. Funny, isn’t it, how I can look at Ducatis and Aprilias and sigh longingly, but actually, when a GSX-R1000 streams by, I always think there’s nothing quite like that bike, even though I don’t think it’s attractively styled.

The Hairy Bikers' Twelve Days of Christmas

A typically madcap Hairy Bikers' journey through the verses of one of the most popular Christmas songs.

For each line of the song, the boys have come up with a fantastic twist on a classic Christmas dish. From roast partridge with spiced pears (a partridge in a pear tree) and a classic trio of top-end poulets de Bresse chicken dishes (three French hens) to spiced Christmas pannacotta (eight maids a-milking), and of course the secrets of a perfect roast goose (six geese a-laying).

There are laughs to accompany the cooking: in addition to the fantastic Christmassy grub, the Hairy Bikers corral everyone they meet - including the original inspiration for Alan Partridge, four call centre workers and the fleet-footed Lords (and Ladies) of the Dance - to sing the lines of the Twelve Days of Christmas song, ready for a rendition at their drum-and-pipe-laden Christmas banquet finale in a beautiful manor house in Scotland.

Part of the BBC Christmas 2009 season.
