Amat victoria curam!

Driving around in Andalusia is great, sunny hills, small quite villages even mountains and lots of curved roads. Funny not to see a lot of motor bikes. Traffic is low anyway.

A magical use of space, light, water and decoration: That's Alhambra. Although dating from the 12/13 century it is impacably restored and its craftmanship still dazzles the eye.

We travelled to Andalusia, Spain to wander around in this ancient land. We first visited The Alhambra in Granada are were taken away by the sheer variation of tiles used in the Palacios Nazaries. 

While I am eagerly waiting for my new CB1000R to arrive end of June Honda Amsterdam was so nice to lent me a bike for fun and to ease the pain: A Honda FMX. A sort of ‘Super Motard’ this bike is quite something else then I am used to: much higher seat , no pk's (a mere 38) but a aggressive styling.

Ingo and I went on a motor ride to Texel, an island in the Northern part of Holland. The weather was not so good, but hey: it didn't rain so it was good enough for us.
It was my last ride on the Honda Hornet 600 I rented this week.
