Where did you ride today?

Rode (and floated, picture was taken while floating) past a rock that Spain and Great Britain have been arguing about for at least the last 100 years. There was actually a military confrontation between the navies of these two countries yesterday about this rock - I think because Great Britain has threatened to tow the rock away and relocate it to the Caribbean once GB exits the European Community at the end of next month.

Anyway, I bypassed it - didn't bother to go in because 1) Customs is a PITA and I've already been in two different countries today, and; 2) been there before, not much to see except a bunch of monkeys at the top of the rock.

Just to CLARIFY, Gibraltar is a BRITISH overseas terrority and has been since 1713. That's over 300 years for anyone counting. If anyone thinks it belongs to anyone else they are sadly mistaken. It's as British as afternoon tea and proper football.
Re, the fuel and tolls Michael, as you know Europe is expensive, but look on the brightside the EU will most likely ban fossil fuel for vehicles by 2030. I don't add up the cost whilst on trips, it hurts too much, but I was on that very road last July enroute to the Col du Petit St.Bernard and Italy. It'll still be closed until May I'm guessing with snow.
Enjoy your ride.

I took a few days off this week to camp at nearby Rocky Bayou State Park before the Spring Break crowds arrive, in the the travel trailer, not the tent, with the wife! Another beautiful day, so I went and got the bike and took 164 mile trip east past the Choctawhatchee River, then up the east side of the river to near Caryville, then a stop at Morrison Springs, unto Defuniak Springs, and then back down FL-285 to Niceville and back to the state park! I also stopped at The Outpost for Bikers in Freeport! It was closed, but I took a few pictures. It looks like they can have some pretty wild events here! I'm still liking the new RDL saddle and wings!!!

My wife even got on the back of the bike this afternoon for her first ride on the ST, albeit just around the state park!

Took the Elite 80 on a 20 mile loop to the coffee shop.
 
Yesterday went for a 160 mile jaunt through the Glens around the Argyll Forest Park area.
Picture is the ST parked beside Loch Eck on the road between Kilmun and Strachur.
Today was a shorter 100 mile jaunt from the ferry at the Northern end of the Isle of Bute to Inverary via a run over the moors and again along Loch Eck (its a lovely twisty road) and back.
The weather was about 9degrees Celsius, beautifully sunny, but not that warm.
Great rides though.

Bless you for sharing that. It's -25 C right now and headed overnight for that magical spot when it doesn't matter if it's C or F. Maybe no one told the weather gods that it's March already. :biggrin:
 
I took the DR650 out today in between rain storms, I did hit some rain over San Marcos Pass and in Santa Barbara. 178 miles in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Here are a few pictures of the ride.

Took my daughter for a 60 mile ride (told her we needed to go to the gas station!). She loved it

Took the Honda ST out today as the rain had stopped. Temperature that I saw was 61 for the high. I rode just over 200 miles today.

Here is the only picture I took over looking Santa Barbara.

I rode around the patch a few times. I wasn't sure the bike would even run it's been over a week since it was started. It did make it home!
 
Took a nice little 75 mile ride on back roads with a buddy of mine yesterday. Nice to have the TPMS!

ATA, either you're 8 feet tall, that's a two thirds model of a 13, or it's a trick of the lens.

I thought it looked a little disproportionate. Paused a video taken from a Sena Prisom. Gotta be the combination of that & me taking a pic of the screen with my phone.
I’m 6’. It does look like I’m riding a 2/3 scale o_O:rofl1::oops::police2:

None of it matters.
You're out riding and that's what's important.
