Re: On the Road Again...Again (none / 1)

Check out my essay, "On the Back of Ol'Blue"....At least I think thats what it was, Ive only got a few of them but one or two were about heading into the Rocky Mountains with my Dad on motorcycles.

Superb... Wasn't there a "Part 3"?

I did have a Sportster 1200cc (as we say here), but just when it started to be a nice bike in it's own juices (5 years) somebody stole it... So I went back to buying second hand bikes that nobody would think stealing (not Rats, I'm not there yet!).

For such trips, the 'Glide is the way but here (in Paris and in a 200km radius, I prefer a japanese 600cc (kid stuff), light, braking well, economical on fuel, and very efficient in heavy traffic...

Re: On the Road Again...Again (none / 1)

There really didn't seem to be much interest in a part 3, and I got caught up in electoral politics vainly trying to get a gvt that was serious about change. Maybe I'll do a part three sometime, or at least a link to the pictures if I put them somewhere accessible.

Thanks for reading. I like 600cc japanese bikes, they are incredibly effecient and powerful. If I lived in Paris (don't I wish) and had a vehicle, it would probably be the SV Suzuki.
