But will it cover what to do if you lose your key on a keyless toilet bike ?????

It’ll give the hapless traveller something to read whilst he waits, I guess.
You two are so funny in such a cruel way!
Arsey, I intend trying your Asturias and Picos areas July 2019 so this guide will help to re-inforce where I should play.
Thanks for your ongoing info., gentlemen.
Who knows, I may even get around to writing a ride report one year - I've got a few still in my head!
p.s. My TB TC GSA has a key so I'll be fine.
Ok, let me know if you want any route advice /hotel accommodation recommendations etc.
I’m going again in mid September.
Empty roads , coffee and beer at €1.20 ish, bottle of wine for €5.
It’s just brilliant. Picos is great but I prefer further west in Asturias as almost no brits and the roads are even better .
Thanks for the offer.
I'm thinking of taking all of July 2019 off
With a month off in July 2019 you could have a great trip down and back. Shame it’s not this year or 2020 as you could take in the Le Mans 24 hour Classic on the way; if that's your thing.
Planning on going back and spending more time on these tracks.
Something like the 790 Adv should be perfect !!
Whilst were at it,here’s quite a good leaflet/map that I picked up at the Hotel del Oso last week.Should have grabbed more.
It shows many of the good roads and tracks (shown in white) in the Picos.
For example the ride up from Espinama to the top of the Fuente De cable car is arrowed.
Didn’t quite get to the top but it was bloody brill :

Do it in Sept, not July.
On the one hand you can pop over and see us (Arsey and me) (Christ knows how many we'll be in 2019; grows every year. 9 or 10 this year, I lose count)
July is busier on the roads, busier in the hotels. Having said that, 50% of the roads we use aren't used by cars as they have swifter routes between destinations. However, the real dangers are white van men and smaller delivery lorries which do use the back roads more in the summer to get to villages in Jul/Aug.
The weather's traditionally better in Sept (Indian summers) but don't quote me because Asturias is...... green for a very good reason.
The ferry crossing is cheaper, especially the one home.
The days are shorter, for sure, but we set off by 10 (latest and depends on the day's schedule - not strict, by any means) every morning and by the time we get home at about 7, when twilight falls, we're bushed.
The ATAS days are numbered, already
Why ?

But what does this have to do with the ATAS ?
The ATAS with DCT would be better on such trails than the 1290R but the 790 should be better still.
No plan to sell ATAS if that's what you're on about in your usual convoluted way.....
I'm saying that in a years time, the ATAS will be history, numbnuts
