As a bikers wife of some 25 years I am aware that a biker is always on the look out for "the next bike!" We have had a few bikes in our time together, in fact they were the names of our tables at our recent silver wedding celebration. I am also aware of the various phases that bikers pass through. We have done the sportsbike phase a few years ago in fact we toured France on a 2002 Honda Fireblade...
(2005 Returning from France)
On our return Jon decided a change of bike was in order as the Fireblade was not the most comfortable bike to tour on.......we then bought our current main bike, another Honda a CB1300.
To date, the best motorbike we've had...so far!
(2012 Isle of Man - Parliament Square, Ramsey
We are just on the crest of a wave of a whole set of adventures on our latest purchase - so what better theme than that! We are still keeping the CB1300 but this will be for a whole different phase/image f our motorbiking fun!
Hope you enjoy the ride!

I've only ridden on a bike once in my life and it was very exhilarating! You're a lucky blonde! lol

Wow - what a way to travel together. Never been on a bike and probably never will - but sure envy you the freedom!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've made a very nice adjustment to your riding experience...hope the 'Guzzi takes you both far with fun!
ReplyDeleteMy brother had a British motorcycle a long time ago...1967, I think, or '68...a Triumph, and I believe it was called a Triumph Brittania.
ReplyDeleteWhen my much younger brother and I were in Australia in 1982, we discovered Aussies call motorcyclists "bikees" or "bikeys" (not sure how they spell it) and we had a good giggle over that. Can just imagine a North American biker being called a bikey.
Many of my friends have had touring bikes, sometimes his'n'hers bikes, but I have no sense of balance so I've never wanted to ride one, not even as a passenger.
Looks like you and Jon have a great time, however!

I have learned that what we call a bike in Holland is not a bike. I should say "push bike"or cycle.Well you see from my post, that cycles are a means of transport not to be ignored in my country! Have a lot of fun on your bikes! They are beautiful machines.
ReplyDeleteWil, ABCW Team.
Great photos of you zipping past the camera. Moto Guzzi are fab bikes.
ReplyDeleteI hope it wends its way to our farm one day soon Denise (and Jon)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like the new one!
