    If only we had a use for cooling vests and mesh jackets in Cumbria:(
    As useful as a chocolate fireguard!

    Another awesome day out for you @Sandi T . I’m not really jealous about your weather, especially after spending a very wet week in Scotland. lol

    I have used the Fahrenheit scale for most of my life but it’s strange how you so quickly become used to Centigrade or is it Celsius that F numbers cease to have any meaning. So much so that I had to remove my wrist watch and look at the comparison scale engraved on the back. :confused:

    It's not cheap as they keep the numbers down, but it's with a good bunch and it's very relaxed atmosphere off track and on, with only 40ish bikes and an open pitlane for 4 days.
    It was my first trackday back in 2019....
    Hoping the next one will be October, but there was only 30 bikes this time (a lot dropped out last minute), so may not happen unless we can get the numbers up....:confused:
    But they're definitely doing one next May still.:)

    Thanks, that's the race version with the toned down tank paint.
    This is the other version of the tank.

    My mate does quite a few trackdays with a group, Silverstone, Cartagena etc. and they usually had a great time although the last one didn't end well. The resort (near Portimao) has a reputation for attacking English. There were four of them and afterwards on reflection they all agreed they'd been targeted and not one of them said they'd managed to get a punch in.

    Ouch!
    Never saw any problems when we were there but we were staying in nearby Galua rather than Cartagena itself.

    @Sandi T I am yet another suffering from weather jealousy (pretty much permanently) :laughing:. I am a creature who craves the heat and sunshine!!!

    Hopefully all of the parts you're waiting for will turn up sooner than expected :).

    The incident was near the Portimao circuit, Portugal.

    Worth a trawl on the web and a bit of research if you fancy that circuit as this wasn't an isolated incident.

    I misled by mentioning Cartagena in my reply; the situation I mentioned was near Portimao as my later posts and edits have now hopefully clarified ;)

    Portimao sounds like one to avoid then...

    So @Sandi T, I think we may need to open a sweepstake on whether your next bike is a Speedmaster or a Rocket 3 ;)

    Spring is not really getting off the ground for us. This week we have already broken all temperature records for the month of May with +30 degrees Celsius since the start of weather data recording, but the early temperatures are still at times around 5-7 degrees Celsius. Therefore, I ride in the onion-skin look on the Bonnie to the office, because on the return trip then with about 27-30 degrees are present.

    Been to Portimao a few times and have never seen any problems. I don’t understand this behaviour, is it born out of jealousy by the locals?

    Take a look at Tripadvisor 1 star reviews for Albufiera and even couples have been targeted.
    My mate lost an iwatch and he knew exactly where and when and even asked the bouncers for it back but was told to F off or he'd be going to hospital.
    It struck me as plain robbery and apparently they were getting away with it due to corrupt policing.
    I couldn't say if anything has changed now as that was about 2018 IIRC but certainly something to be aware of.

    Edit added.
    Photos were dated October 2019.
