    Default F3-s in spain

    I picked up my F3-S new a month ago and so far have done over 2,500 miles. I absolutely love it to the extent that I am selling my two two-wheeled bikes. Here is a photo of my mount after I had ridden through the area in eastern Spain that was recently flooded. They had their heaviest rain/worst floods in 140 years. Great holiday.

    EDIT: photo wouldn't upload.

    Default Good to hear....

    Congrats on the new F3... looks like you wasted no time getting used to and putting those miles of smiles on it. If you followed the picture upload process it could be the picture is to large or wrong format. I have found that editing the picture and re saving in a jpg format will get it up there. Did drive all over spain on a visit to Andorra but unfortunately not on my spyder as they did not exsist at that time...

    "I've never been to Spain-but I kinda like the music; they say the ladies are insane--but they sure know how to use it" :-)

    Times are changing--probably 80% + on this forum remember that song from the 70's.

    Glad to know you made perfect match with the Spyder... Kind of what happened to me.

    At the moment there's no bike in market that would make me sell the Spyder for it.

    MakoShark2: Indeed. I like it so much I am going to sell my Yamaha MT-01 and my Buell XB12X (I have interested people for both bikes in the Lagos area). I just don't want to ride those two now. Weird how I have adapted to a three-wheeler so easily. The only thing I don't lke about it is its tendency to change down to first in slow traffic before it needs to.

    I have been unable to upload photos from the trip. I am going to do it now on our Portuguese FB page.

    Regards, Nick

    Ah! Success. Doubly so. This was after I'd ploughed (almost literally) through a sea of mud in a Spanish town near Murcia which had been devastated by the worst floods to hit Spain in 140 years. More photos later.

    I love Spain. I spent 10 days there last year in Valencia. I was wishing I had my Spyder over there at the time. Nobody I could find rented them. Congrats on your new Spyder. Please post pictures of your rides around the Spanish countryside.

    I actually live across the border in Portugal, but I'll take a few snaps of the stunning southwest Portuguese coastline and countryside. For the first day in as long as I can remember, it's cloudy on the Algarve.
