While travelling in a campervan through Europe and Morocco (92), Therese then girlfriend, asked one night what are you doing with the bike(bmw r65) .Therese hadn't been on a motorbike before so we where in a borrowed campervan. My reply was ,well ,I'd like to ride it home... how about it.. yer Ok... was the reply. Well My brain worked overtime to get the logistics in place .From replanning the Europe trip from that day on, we where in Moroc at the time. to buying konis in Andora (duty free).selling the van back in London.( that was the deal we had with our mate) Buying riding gear for Therese Saying bye to our British friends in a shake down trip around England.which included a front end rebuild at a camp site near Moto Bins, returning the old fork stantions the next morning, The bike was a basket case not that long before. Oh yes getting it rego and carnet'd.
6months later we got home back to OZ I have asways thought ,not bad for someone who had never been on a bike before and her first trip was 26,000 miles.Don't worry just do it
