Time to test...

In fact, the first ride was a visit to the ITV.
The spanish technical inspection center who give the certificates that your vehicle is OK for road use... It was a 100 kms tryp without any incident.
The ITV crew was very friendly and some of them arrived to see the bike restoration.

But the real first trip was to go from Seville to Granada ( and way back home) .
It was 500 kms on the tarmac complemented with 250 km of off-road riding....

Here you have a few pics

The bike was great, the suspensions works awesome and the only problem was with the odometer remote that was fixed immediately at home. I had to make a new point of fixation to prevent movement of the remote mechanism

...and that's all folks

:thanks:
