Hi from Gibraltar

Post by Gibmax »

Hi from Gib! Took the plunge a couple of months ago n got myself a BlackMax 07. Had quite a few bikes, last one was an 04 fireblade for trackdays. Will be looking to add a few things to the Tmax although original owner installed a Malossi variator. I've just had the clutch plates changed so next up V-belt, rollers and maybe a chavvy exhaust.

Any help most welcome as its the first decent scooter (apart from an xmax250) I've had and wouldn't know where to begin!

Welcome to the Mupet madhouse!

Me and Mrs B are heading for Gib next April, her first visit, my first since 1972.
Ex Royal Navy, been 5 times altogether, guess it's changed since my last visit!

Hi, I love Gib, spent quite a bit of time in Shepherd's marina. In 1990 I used to fill up with marine diesel for 19p a litre then go back to the berth in Estepona.

Hi guys! Thanks for the replies. Yep, it has indeed changed. Now become a concrete jungle, far less military presence but far more gambling houses and financial services.

Gib was always a good run until they opened the borders then the prices went up and the bars got full of tourists
