Belchite, a ghost town that cries out its own history

One of the most impressive rides I've ever taken was the one to Belchite. This Spanish town has seen old glory days even though it has become a phantom town with nobody living in it. Spanish Civil War destroyed it back in the decade of the 30´s last century. Franco rebuilt the town, of a smaller dimension -nonetheless he killed most of the population- and the old ruins still there, waiting to be visited. It's one of the most beautiful places in Spain, full of monuments worth visiting, but it's abandoned. The old entrance is locked. I broke into it, of course, and I stayed there long.

Not a clue whose dick was it to make the molde of condoms but they don't always fit!

Gals and Bikes




These guys from the other side of the pond have a real good taste, and you know what they say about them, budget is unlimited! These are pics from one of my favourite bike sites, see the link on the pictures.

What about dreaming my own memories?





We sometimes get confused about the amount of tasks we have in our daily lives. I can tell how hard it is to keep up to date with work, family, friends, cleaning the house... and in the end, one night, while you talk to your pillow, you ask yourself if you're doing right. I don't like the "what ifs" much to be honest, and I prefer to remember one of those days in which I did the right thing, I LIVED MY OWN LIFE MY WAY.
I just needed a tiny 500cc kawa vulcan and the guts to do it. My fronteer was only the horizon.

Mötley Crüe - Gals, gals, gals...

This could be the perfect soundtrack of this bog...



Sorry for the censored pussies but you know I wouldn't censor them at any time... seems a vagina it's too offensive to be shown but we can see dead people at lunch time on the news...

Did you know about the other Triumphs?

The other day I discovered one of those things one think couldn't have left behind in one's life. I don't know how many of you guys knew there was a second Triumph originally from the first one that we all know and that is widely treated in this blog.
Siegfried Bettman known as Triumph founder made his first factory in Coventry, UK, and the rest of the story is more or less known by most of us. However, he also made a second factory in Nuremberg, Germany. Both companies started making bicycles at the beginning and it wasn't until 1902 that Triumph made it first motorbike. A year later, the year of the creation of Harley Davidson, Triumph created it first motorbike in the Nuremberg's factory. Due to legal reasons, both factories were seen as different and subsequently couldn't have the same name so the opted for TWN (Triumph Werke Nürnberg) and the moped on the top of this is an example of those bikes.
Here's the Boss TWM. Isn't it similar to a T100? to a Bonneville? I think it's beautiful and it should be a great bike for that time. If you want to know more about them you can see this link as we all trust wikipedia. If you don't just google these bikes or look for something else. I will continue to inform myself in the future about these new known bike for me.

Remember that if you want to share your pics or comments or just want to say how stupid I am for not knowing these bikes just drop some info in my e-mail!
