Last weekend while being driven around the Mounts of Malaga I came across this mildly amusing sign, at least if you can speak Spanish it is. Proving once and for all that its not just the English and the Belgians who have a taste for giving their villages silly names.
Being a Harley rider I am naturally an appalling bike snob. Fine, if race-replicas are your thing then that’s cool. If you are on a budget then I guess its got to be a little 125, that’s cool too. However, why would an affluent urban man be seen in public on one of these? Says [...]
