@@tojj29 as horrible as it is, that’s funny ! I guess as long as you get ride time, that’s what matters.

The end of summer is a sad time. I ride all year, but thankfully even winter is warmer here. Thanks for watching, and your comments, and I hope this winter is still manageable for all of us.

@@kimetogo thanks ! I have to say, it’s been a most enjoyable journey so far. Hopefully it will continue…..

Thanks !

Nice. I’m jealous the season is beginning for you. Here it’s cooler, and windy. I just did 120km run this morning, just to enjoy it while I can.

@@davanteperez7792 I bought mine on Amazon. If you search motorbike speedometer, there are loads of options available.

@@kimetogo that was the nightmare crash for sure. These old 80’s bikes were amazing, I would love to find one now. When it comes to costs, I knew that feeling. I’ve still never owned a brand new bike. As always, thanks for watching!

@@tojj29 hahahaha last time I ever want a close up of a bay window. The GS850 was amazing, I wish I could find one now. Thanks for watching!

@@kimetogo thanks ! I’m glad you liked it, and hopefully brought back some memories. Perhaps we all started on these little bikes, back in the day. Part two coming in about three days, and part three shortly after. As always, thanks for watching !

Thanks, two more parts to come........

@@thatgoldenvic9 thanks for the view and the comment. IG, unfortunately not. I only use KZbin.

@SteveM109r no worries. I've just started my KZbin channel any advice you can give would he great and much appreciated!

@@thatgoldenvic9 I’m still growing mine, so no expert, but I found releasing shorts, once or twice a week, really helped grow the channel. The longer videos take longer to get views, but for me the shorts work.

@@thatgoldenvic9 one either thing I noticed….. when I changed from a go pro to an Insta360 cam, my channel really picked up. I still use the more traditional camera occasionally, but the 360 cams are amazing

@SteveM109r thank you for the advice... I have been toying with idea of.getting the insta360

@@LeanIntoTheWind thanks mate. You certainly picked the better month to be here, the weather will be so much cooler.

@@kimetogo I heard the weather in the UK is really changing. I hope you get some good summer sun soon.

Does it look a lot different from 1986 ?

@@SteveM109r Well the roads didn't look so good back then 😁. At La Linea, I remember to have a bit more restaurants and less dense housing towards the waterfront. I remember staying at a camping in the area, don't know if it is still there. The harbour - MUCH more trucks!. Ah. the 20th century.. I feel old now 😆

Hahahahaha. Let me think about that.

I do need to get a decent mic !

@@tojj29 we do have long summers !

@@frankysworld thanks !

Nice ! This is my second intruder/marauder/boulevard. I have a VL800 as well. Put about 65,000 km on it. Awesome bikes. I finished cleaning it up and putting it back to original last year.

@@SteveM109r Brilliant, I blue printed mine when she did about 165.000km on her. She changed looks about 3 times and ended being a bobber tribute bike, she racked up 208.000 km when I sold her in 2023 - still going. her farewell video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpLZlmp-dppqp9U

@@frankysworld nice I love it. They are such great machines. I turned an old virago in a bobber during the 2020 madness. 1990 Yamaha Virago 535 Bobber Build kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIuziJ2kj6mmrK8

@@SteveM109r Great build - These bikes look good with a bit of red!

The stock exhaust keeps the noise down. The regulations here are very strict. Any modifications need to be put back to original for the ITV (MOT), other wise it’s a straight fail. Those electric scooters. I have a deep rooted hatred for them. They are legal, but the rider has to wear a helmet, have functioning lights, and drive as per the road laws. Any of the three rarely happen. I’ve seen some terrible riding. And I’m amazed there aren’t blood smears on the roads.

@@SteveM109r Totaly agree with your comments, and I bet they don't need insurance either. Maddening.

@@kimetogo hahahah no insurance needed at all. I see people riding these in the dark, wearing black, with no lights. Personally, I think they should be treated for what they are, children’s toys, and kept off the road.

I guess, due to land border with Spain, if they drove on the other side of the road, they would need some sort chicane system at the entry and exit points. And they also have left hand drive cars...... And the other thing to consider, is that they are in an incorrect time zone. Gib and Spain should come under UK time, but they are one hour ahead of the UK

@@SteveM109r Makes sense

Enjoy ! I live about one hour from Belamendina. The weather is amazing.

@@SteveM109r jestem w Benalmadena do 19 czerwca. Jest super. 😁😁😁

Thanks ! I’m trying out some homemade wind muffs for the insta camera tomorrow. Hopefully it will work !

@@SteveM109r Will certainly be looking out for that Steve, Cheers and really appreciate you taking the time to try and give us a taste of the sound. Cheers

Muchas gracias mi amigo.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. I keep getting issues with recording the sound of the bike, due to wind noise. but I keep trying. I guess the stock exhaust also keeps the noise down...... Ride on !
