Motorcycle Explorer May 2016 Issue 11 | 页面 38

I myself am in dry dock at the moment; still struggling to clear the rancid fumes of countless Russian juggernauts from my lungs. The motorcycle that delivered me home safe and sound from my last jaunt, up through Scandinavia and through Eastern Europe, sits resplendent in the garage, impatiently awaiting the next border. But with two little boys learning to walk via the systematic destruction of my lounge, that next big ride will have to wait a while. The Kawasaki must content itself, for the time being at least, with more local sorties; attacking the Welsh A-roads on sunny Sunday mornings and scrubbing in those new Pirellis at Oultan Park. But that’s ok; each ride is an adventure and I don’t necessarily need to be lost in Latvia or scything through Moscow traffic to appreciate the joy of movement. Every time I fire up the ignition I know, with absolute certainty, that memories are about to be made. www.haplessbiker.com Dun he talk posh!
