    Malaga Spain
    Hi, this is my first forum i have joined so be gentle !!!
    been riding bikes all my life, moved to Malaga in Spain 5 years ago. out of the three bikes i owned in UK at that time {99 R1, gsxr1100 slabby, 2009 speed triple, it was the triple i took with me and put onto spanish plates and very reluctantly sold the other two. best choice i made as the fantastic mountain roads around here and the hot weather suit the triple and me.
    Had a few minor problems regarding starting/electric issues over the years and this group is an invaluable source of information which is needed as dealership support is sparse/ non existant here.
    Cheers, Mike

    Welcome to the forum, Mike. The natives get restless occasionally but they're quite friendly for the most part round here. :D

    Welcome mate. The only one of my Triumphs that hasn't been to Spain is my Speed Triple (2010) should try to put that right. Not resident but currently at my apartment in the Comunidad Valenciana. Used to keep a bike here through winter when riding at home is not so great! :)

    Welcome to the family. Do hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show the inmates the steed. Great intro by the way. Yes you are right the inmates here in the asylum are pretty clued up.
    Joe.
