Page 18  2014 Bassella Museum Tour

Why did you start Clice off road clothing ?

I started this in 1966 or 1967.

There is a famous photo of all the Clice riders together. Do you remember this ? Where was the photo taken

It was taken at the Corte Inglés Plaza in Barcelona . This is the Spanish same as Harrods.

Where was the clothing made.

Oh everywhere in Spain. Clice worked parallel with all the Spanish factories. The dealer from Ossa in Austria arrive here and visit the Ossa factory and he make Clice. I set up with this man and we make relationships with all the dealers in all of the World. 

Did you do this at the same time as Bultaco ?

Yes

You were a busy man.

Yes, but my brother , he no work for Bultaco and all the day he work Clice. I arrive at Clice at 5 , 6  Oclock each day. At the moment the Spanish factories finish , Clice finish . In 1982 Clice die. Now it is new company with same name.

These caught my eye. They were not cheap so i had to act quickly before my brain could work out what the figures meant and registered the cost :)

The design is the free Catalonia flag. For me , i just love the design. Its got a real retro feel with a hint of Evil Knievel .

I   would    really   recommend    that    you    visit    the     bassella  museum    .  
  Its    an    incredible       place .
I    hope    you    enjoyed    this     look     around

After Josep and i left the museum we went for a drive down to the Bassella enduro course which is very nearby. It was getting dark.After some off roading in the hire car and nearly grounding out several times we turned around and the Sat Nav was set for the nearest bar.
1 .The entrance to Bassella off road park .2. The Bassella Enduro start area. 3.The reservoir with the old town of Bassella deep beneath the waters.

We headed to Guissona a small town near Llieda. We had a nice meal in the reastaurant below. It looked a lot more welcoming  when it was open at night.

Josep wanted to go to local pub called " L'espill " but i was absolutely shattered. The pub is very special . It has arched ceilings inside and it feels as though you are underground. Heavy metal music plays all the time and vinyl covers from metal bands adourn the walls. The landlord makes excellent Spanish omelette and when Barca are playing the food is free  :) . If you ever come to Guissona visit L'espill pub . Its unique
