A blog about Peter's motorcycle trips to various places in the world ………….
In my previous posting I mentioned Rayan (on the right). He was going to come to Portugal with us – but couldn’t make it in the end. But he did come to Scotland and has now moved there!
He and Andy are doing a track-day at Snetterton in 2011 and Rayan is wearing my old leathers (I was ‘banned’ from track-days by Mrs F after ‘low siding’ my gorgeous Aprilia the previous year). Neither Andy or Rayan go fast enough to damage their bikes ………
Since our Italian trip Andy and I have continued our travels. To Scotland with a friend, Rayan, in May 2015 and then in June 2016 to Barcelona, Spain (where we spent the weekend at a Moto GP), via a long wet trip through France. However the return trip via the Spanish Pyrenees (again) was great fun and the weather good.
This year we are going to the USA! I’ve talked Andy into flying to the east coast – well actually Chicago, where we’ve already booked a couple of Harley Davidsons and will ride down to Washington DC and then through a few Civil War sites etc etc. We have yet to finalise the route but will be away for three weeks on the bikes. More very soon.
Recently went to look at this trip and found the site had gone tits up. I’ve now repaired it and have just enjoyed a pleasant hour or two remembering a memorable trip. I hope others may look again too?
FYI I’ve done a couple of trips to Europe since going to America. One last September when I rode with my pal Andy to see the MotoGP at Aragon. We rode home spending a few days in the Spanish Pyrenees. The weather was great.
Andy and I also did a trip to Portugal via Spain earlier this summer. The Portuguese coast roads down the Atlantic coast were awful – but we found some great roads inland coming back from seeing the World Superbike race at Portimao.
And the Portuguese hospitality and prices were superb.
Italy in 2014 ………….
Cheers – Peter.
