....and forgot to pack their comms units............
So - two weeks away in Spain, with just a smack around the ear to attract attention...............
But no - "Broadsword calling Danny-boy"
Ride safe Chris - hope your nuts are on tight

I had a brilliant days ride yesterday .
860 km from Bilbao down to Jacarilla .
Rode steady indicated 80mph , 126 km/h on the sat nav
I met a Scot , on the ferry , riding a Ducati ST4 who was going down just west of Murcia, so we tagged along together.
Great to have a riding buddy .
One heavy rain shower , about 30kms , early on a few kms of mist , and a bit of buffetting head wind .
But all the miles I've been riding on Al's old bike were good training.
No stiffness, no neck ache , just obviously fatigue.
All good roads, no aggressive driving against us .
Just stopped every 100 / 120 miles to fill up , have a few mouth fulls of coke etc.
Lunch stop in a services outside Madrid .
Now , wake up this morning and its pouring with rain ...
My car is at Alicante Airport ....
Have to bum a lift down there some time to fetch the car .
