Lifes to short
I have always wanted to ride a bike round the world, can,t really explain this but it had always been deep in me from being a kid, unfortunatly I didn,t have rich parents so this ambition had to be put on hold
Fast forward, 55 yrs old house payed for, succesfull buisiness in Manchester which I had been buying the property, also payed off.A wife who is also passionate about travelling and bikes
Went to to many funerals all people and friends younger than me.
Sold the buisiness, but kept the property, rented it out, rented the house out. sold the Blackbird (mine) sold the Fazer thou (hers)Bought a couple of XT 600,s
4 yrs later, 80,000kms and still on the road.
Best thing we ever did, yes we occasionally miss Mcr, buuuuuut we are currently in South Africa taking R n R , Weve just done 4800km trip up to Zimbabwe And Botswana.
Met amazing people, used horizons community a lot, horizons really rocks.
To sum up I was 55, leaving it any longer meant it wasn,t going to happen and I didn,t want to be an old man, dribling in a old peoples home saying to the wife we really should of done that trip we spoke about!
Hope that makes sense
