Gretchen

Much as I liked the idea of buying a brand new, all singing, all dancing ADV / Touring bike, I couldn't find one I really thought I could live with, at a price I could afford, so secondhand it would have to be then.  Fortunately, after about a month of serious hunting, I came across a fully equipped 2006 BMW R 1200 GS for sale only a mile from work.  

It is in beautiful condition, well equipped, and only has 26,000 miles on it - just about run-in thank you!  This is her:  



I  fell in love with her, and threw down a deposit on the spot!  I'll be collecting Gretchen from the dealership next week, as soon as I have sorted out secure storage, and the small technicality of actually passing my test!

So this is where my our Motorcycle Adventuring starts!  Please - stay tuned :-)

It's late September - my favourite time of year to set out on a trip to Europe.  And so it is that a plan we hatched last Christmas should now be well underway.  But with the Coronavirus Pandemic still in full swing across the globe we have to take whatever we can get; and so it is that the 15 days riding to and in the southern Alps of France has had to become a trip around the British Isles !   We simply can't get to France at the moment, without unnecessary exposure to infection, or punitive quarantine requirements.  In fact, to accomplish the original trip we had planned, would require 6 weeks - 14 days quarantine in France, and another 14 days on our return.  And that's not a choice either of us can make. So with about a fortnight to go, we conjure up a new objective, to ride to some more of the stunning areas in the mainland UK.  We start our plan with Wales, then the Lake District, up through the lowlands of Scotland to the Isle of Skye, a few days in the Western High

This trip represents the culmination of an idea that was born at a barbeque two summer's ago;  Scott, myself and Jez standing around the bonfire, drinking beer, smoking cigars, and plotting tours of Europe - despite the fact that only one of us had a bike at the time! And a Harley Davidson 883 Iron isn't really suited to long distance touring....   Within  a month, Scott had bought a 2017 BMW R1200 GS Triple Black, and within 2 months Jez had found his steed, a 2007 R1200 GSA.  When I completed the trio with Gretchen at Christmas, we were all set to do something the following summer. A house move for Jez meant that the original plan was pared back to the previously recorded Ireland trip with Scott.  The following summer, due to pract ical necessity we were down to Jez & myself for the long-delayed continental trip.  Planning was tricky, because the wives wanted in on the adventure, but without the riding!  So we settled on a plan of taking the ferry to Northern Spain, ri

I started riding motorbikes as a teenager, when my dad bought a brace of dirtbikes - a Suzuki RM125 followed by an RM250.  These were amazing bikes for bouncing around on sand dunes.  The suspension travel was huge, and their ability to soak up heavy landings was nothing short of miraculous.  Also, being strokers, they revved like crazy, which somehow resonates with teenage boys.... me and my brother (and later, my sister) spent many a happy vacation day riding around the dunes of Abqaiq. The 3 pictures that follow are not the actual bikes - just as close to identical as I could find.  I need to dig through mine and my parents photo stash and scan some pics, which I will do when I can. Suzuki RM125  (1977) (This is not the actual RM 125 - just one that's just like it.) Suzuki RM250 (1977) (Also not the actual RM 250 - but a very clean specimen nonetheless!) A couple of years later I bought a Honda CD200 Benly off a mate to use whilst I was at College.  I l
