Well I never expected that ! (1 Viewer)

[Geistguy]

Hi everyone, having just signed up to Motorhome Fun and exploring the various forms I never expected to find a motorcycling section. I look forward to reading and joining in the posts.

I am a very keen motorcyclist and love long distance touring, we have some fantastic roads up here and a great "biking" community, we manage to get a good ride out every week - despite the weather.

At the moment I have a Triumph 1200 Explorer and one of the new Africa Twins. Both great bikes.

Welcome to the club definitely the place to be if you own a motorhome here you will find a fountain of knowledge.

There are also some very active motorcyclists, I am currently fettling this little beauty.

And yesterday bought a brand new Royal Enfield 500cc chrome Bullet to keep it company.

Do you still have to pay for them in guineas ?

A mate brought his 350 round a couple of years back, I quite fancy one.

I was looking at this one for sale as a s/h 4 owner machine they are asking £3999. A little too expensive i thought so did a bit more research and found a brand new one with the euro 4 engine, ABS and rear disc break. Paid £4752 OTR well happy, pick it up in March.

As the wife keeps pointing out, "You can only ride one at a time",!

Ha that`s an easy one to get out of, I just have to walk to Chris`s wardrobe and point at the many boxes of shoes.

As the thread starter I'll admit to being 72, I usually tour in a group of 4 but last year my pals were all busy. I decided to go it alone, the only plan I had was a ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam and a destination of the Transfargasan Pass in Romania. I had booked my first nights accommodation but each evening decided where to head for next. I visited 7 countries, did 3,800 miles and thoroughly enjoyed my own company. I met some great bikers on the route and had some brilliant evenings. Age should never be an issue - just do it ! Now where next ?

Fantastic a marvellous example to us all, there is a big world out there and the only obstacle in our way is our how narrow one`s vision is.
