November and a different bike

 So that's it, November before we got even a week of good days in 2024, the weather has been as depressing as the news this year, but enough negativity, I prepared the 650 BMW's as always for the Winter. Now it may seem a bit unfair on them, the have taken us all over Europe including the Ukraine (before the madness stated) they took us from Argentina to Alaska through South America, Central America and over countless states in the USA and all they get is more poor treatment by using them as a winter bike. The only respite they got was preparing them for a trip from East to West around the world before Covid (Allegedly) and the various Governments got into a power trip and stopped us going anywhere and now of course the Russia / Ukraine thing has made it slightly difficult to do our originally planned trip so Winter bikes is what they are for now.

I managed to get the R100 out for a hurl last week which was good and then a very nice day out on Sunday on the 650's including over Glenquaich , Kenmore and Killin and back to Perth , stopping for a cuppa and sandwich in the layby between Comrie and Crieff (Maybe a spot for Winter meeting if anyone is up for it?) We were impressed by the number of bikes out making the most of the roads before they become too bad, almost as busy as Summer.

Despite the bad news everywhere motorcycling helps you concentrate on whats important in life, having fun and living the dream, it works, try it!!!

  1. I agree, what's important in life is having fun and living the dream. My motorcycle is what keeps me going!

  2. It’s amazing how much those bikes have been through—Europe, South America, even a trip to Ukraine before things changed. They’ve definitely earned a bit of downtime, but sounds like you’re making the most of the good days! Glad you got out on the R100 and the 650s for some great rides. It’s always nice to take advantage of those crisp, clear days before winter sets in. I agree with you—riding really does help put everything into perspective and gives you a chance to focus on the simple things. If you do a winter meet-up, count me in! Marriott Playa Andaluza
