No. Me trying to be clever. All you've got to do is copy the IMG code for forums to show the picture instead of a link. And it didn't work.

That N260 in Spain is a superb road (thumbs) . We rode it this year and also did a 50 mile tarmac loop off it into very rural Spain, as recommended by Spanish Biker (thumbs).
We stopped for a stress break somewhere on the main N260 overlooking the stunning countryside and all we could hear in the distance was brapp, brappp, brappppp...and then one sportsbike after another came round the corner literally every 2 or 3 minutes...superb B) B) .

Re: The Honda Africa twin 1000 , warts and all.
Not so long ago I spotted a year old Honda Crosstourer sitting outside at a motorcycle dealers and the rust on the downpipes and many nuts and bolts was very obvious, quality has really went downhill with bike manufacturers nowadays.
Simply awful.
