I'm waiting eagerly for some early doors photos of the Bardena - low morning sun is the key to the place!

Top ride report, wouldn't be suprised if the whole of ABR was doing the RB5 next year...
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

When we were crossing the Bardenas last time there were exercises by the Spanish air force shooting old trucks and aircraft with cannon and dropping practice bombs. It made excellent viewing and on the first straffing run it scared me witless as i didn,t know they were coming and when the cannons started up i thought my engine had blown up! :ohmy:

It appeared two were low and fast chasing each other and the other two were higher up and appeared to be slower - maybe the two high up were watching/reviewing the two below dog fighting? Best picture I could get of them

We would have been away by 0830 but for a change Roys bike needed some maintenance, as the lower swingarm protector lost it's retaining screw
