After a long biker career (1986 - 2000) and a long pause I started again after moving to the Canary Islands.

First with a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in 2021, now this BMW R nineT Scrambler, which I took for a ride along the coastal roads.

The RE is an excellent bike for the money, but the BMW (weighting roughly the same) is some real joy to ride in this environment.
