I must admit, they are great bikes, not that I can ride either of them as I really can't touch the ground safely 😭😭😭. I'll stick to my Honda fours 😁😁😁.

There is a solution Julie, why not stitch them together, like in a sidecar outfit? This sort of thing was pioneered in WW2 to cope with very long flights ...and...and...

I thought you were supposed to be downsizing Julie :oWell, yes, that was the plan Dave 😂😂😂😂. I don't think Graham will keep both of the Transalps. We are off to Europe next week on the first one Graham bought, which has done 9000 miles. The latest one has only done 2000 miles with full history. The chap bought it, never did any touring on it, basically only rode it to and from MOT and to have it serviced each year, then decided to sell it.
Anyways, I'm sticking to the plan, I haven't bought any more bikes, yet 😁😁😁😁.

I met him in Klagenfurt (via Ryanair) to scatter our Mums ashes in the Church in Maria Rain where she was Babtised.
He flew back to the UK with his bike in the hold.

My brother cycled from Derby to Klagenfurt in Southern Austria about 8 years ago, he used maps, hardest part he said was getting out of Rotterdam from the Ferry Port. He took his time as it was not a race, about 3 weeks with my Mums ashes in his rear panniers.

That’s quite a cycle Ted! Brilliant achievement and quite a final journey for your mum.
