I’ll be at Squires biker cafe today, astride my KTM, if you want to say hello and ask about touring Spain on two-wheels when the travel restrictions are lifted.
Who Wants To Tour Spain?
I am currently in the UK hoping to promote Spanish Motorbike Tours, when the lockdown restrictions are eased, by riding my KTM 640 Adventure around some of the popular biker meeting places. For almost two years, we have been offering tours of the Iberian peninsular based upon guests having to make their own way to …
Preparing For My International Trip
I have been planning an international trip on my KTM for when movement restrictions are eased, and after giving my bike a bit of a clean the other day, I noticed the ‘E’ symbol was no longer visible. I popped along to my friend and mechanic at MotoCaspe KTM to ask him about the law …
Am I Really Planning A Roadtrip?
Despite living in Spain for the past 6 years, and being self-employed for the past 2 years, I never applied for residency.

When I moved house recently, i noticed excessive movement on the front brake lever. Investigation showed that the caliper sliders were seized, meaning only one pad was pushing against the …
We Will Reopen….One Day
I had some good news yesterday. After living in Spain for 6 years, being self-employed here for 2 years, my application for permenant residency has been approved. Unfortunately, Spain is still under the current State Of Alarm, which is set to remain until at least the 9th May 2021. The current movement restrictions stop me …
Does It Snow In Spain?
