Hi from Spain

[alapues]

I'm the proud owner of two Triumphs, a 2008 Bonneville Black  and a 2012 silver Trophy SE Launch Edition, that I've bought to use it in long travels; as far as I know it was the first one registered in Spain, back in the last week of past October.

Due to different circunstancies I've not used her as much as I pretended and so far it has only 5.000 km, but in such a short period I'm really deligthed of my purchase!

I've found this forum and I think it's a great place to be, so we may exchange our experiences with our new bikes!

Just want to end this message excusing for the mistakes I'm sure I've made, but (obviously) english is not my mother tongue

As we use to salute  in our forums in Spain: V'sssss

Hi Dude

Your English is 100% better than my Spanish. Just enjoy the experience, I will be enjoying your country in September for our 30th wedding anniversary and the Trophy is coming too.

I live near  the Pyrenees and in fact we use to ride there on weekends, not very often in winter, because of the people that go to the skiing stations and the bad condiciones of the road, specially on the Frech side of the border, but it's GREAT from April/May to November.

The north coast and the northwest (Asturias, Galicia, Santander, Basque country) are also really beautiful areas with fantástic roads, and the same may be said of Catalonia and Teruel (East of Aragón, between Zaragoza and the coast)

Ride safe and enjoy it!
