Terryg Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 Sounds good! Love the ST4, you have the same bike philosophy as me, I keep saying I should sell my 750ssie but I can't, even though I am too old to ride it with rearsets and clip ons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vikingo Tropical Posted September 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 After 31h ferry journey to Spanish mainland and about 1300km road trip my wife and I have past and stop at, Huelva, Sevilla, Trujillo, Salamanca, Vigo and at the moment we are in Oporto. Tomorrow is time for coast road down to Lisboa. I was very lucky with weather all way crossing Gran Canaria to Spanish mainland. First night was in Trujillo, a beautiful old Middle Ages town in Spain. Next stop was in Salamanca famous for the great catedral, but what most interested me is Liz Art Deco museum, since I was a child I have always felt a great passion for Art Deco (I’m son of a antique dealer) We have spent three days in Port (Oporto) just walking around, eating marvellous food like the one at photo at Bolhão market. Listening to fado’s drinking great port wine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vikingo Tropical Posted October 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Yesterday eve I opened up the other side and “Mama mia” ! Not good🤧. The only part how sawed from the destruction is the cylinder heads, 4 x piston and rods, regarding the rest of lower part of engine goes to recycling.
