Hi Folks
 

I’m a Scot, I’m a few days away from being 60 years old and I’m returning to biking after a five years hiatus while I was living in Vietnam, Burma and Thailand. I currently live in Andalucia in southern Spain and I have been riding motorcycles since I passed my test back in 1979.


I have mostly owned bigger bikes, but I am now interested in whether I can get my motorcycle fun while using less fuel and spending less money. To find out, I recently bought a 2004 GZ250 here in Spain and, after I send some time sorting it out, my wife and I are hoping to do some touring on it this year, perhaps including a trip to the Rif Mountains in Morocco.

My wife and I also run a blog site; The Motorcycle Minimalists (https://motorcycleminimalists.home.blog/ ) about our plans for minimalist 250 touring on the Marauder.


Thanks for reading

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you got a bike in really good shape. Riding tandem, I hope it will be enough bike for the two of you. Enjoy the site and what it has to offer.

Welcome! The bike looks great! Looking forward to some interesting stories of your touring.
