Having owned my BMW R1200 GSA for around two and a half years and 15000 km, it was time for a change. My friends thought I was mad, to be getting rid of the bike I imported and loved riding, but I had my reasons.

I didn't intend to buy a trail bike at all, in fact, it was a long way from my mind when this journey began around 2 years ago, but bear with me, I'll get to the point eventually.

During lockdown August 2020, I was sat at home in Spain on a rainy Sunday, bored to tears, the TV held no interest for me, I'd run out of DIY supplies and enthusiasm, I couldn't even get out on the bike. So there I sat scrolling through Milanuncios.com, Ebay.es & finally Ebay.co.uk, looking at bikes for sale, its always a bad idea or good idea depending on your point of view, it's certainly an expensive pastime.

BMW R1200GSA washed, polished & protected in under a minute.
It was suggested that I filmed this in shorts, and without a top, but I'll leave that to everyone else.

There have been many pictures of beaches appearing in the media showing them empty in Spain and busy ones in the UK. I thought it would be nice to go and have a look at these "empty beaches" as they are always full when I am there. It also gave me a great excuse for a ride.

Strictly speaking, it is not "after lockdown" at all it is just the first phase of the de-escalation but it was still my first outing for many weeks. The plan was simple my son needed a lift to the garage to pick up his ailing scooter and I could either drive him or take one of the bikes, simple choice really.
