Great post. Brought back memories of hiring a Fazer 8 from motomercado in Fuengirola. Nice guys to deal with ,and the bike was in great condition despite the clock showing close to 70k kilometers.
We went from Benalmadena, and spend some time on that busy AP7 (motorway I think), and Spanish police stayed behind us for about 20 minutes, luckily we were warned by the motomercado lad that this is usual - everyone speeds there and Police always tries to catch tourists there as they try to keep up with the traffic). We then took off to Ronda (oh my god! epic is not the word! Super road, amazing views and Rhonda itself was amazing!). From there we went across Sierra De las Nieves national park (crap roads, but unbelievable scenery, entire valleys of olive plantations, tiniest of villages etc). It was best thing I have ever done in Spain. I can't wait to go back and to Benalmadena - Ronda - and somehow take the mountain roads to Caminito del Ray and back. Biker's paradise. I might rent out the Tracer this time around!
Thanks for the reminding me of that one good day from years ago!
