I stayed in Scotland - Melrose and Edburg - you can see some of my trips with my hubby here [link] - you can use the translator since it's in Portuguese

You and me alike, me and the good lady like to travel as well, and as often as possible.

Our next visitation is Cuba in January and back to France in May. Looking forward to both

I live in Rio de Janeiro... Can you imagine to saty one week in Whitley Bay and a lot of fog everyday?
I'm going to Paris with my hubbie on January, 30 to comemorate my 50 yo!

SnapperRod In reply to MelGama [2011-12-25 09:08:35 +0000 UTC]

Rio or Whitley Bay, slight difference. Now will it be Whitley fog or clouds over Christ the Redeemer?
I know which one I would choose
Enjoy Paris and your 50th . We are visiting Paris in May.
As you depart we are just returning from a couple of weeks in Cuba

Have a fun day today

MelGama In reply to SnapperRod [2011-12-25 11:58:46 +0000 UTC]

I intend to move from Europe asap. Probably to Portugal because the language is easier for me and my hubby. I don't like big cities but I was born here and my mom never thought in change... She died 3 years ago... Now I need to wait for my husband to be retired and my son to be gratuated - something like 5 years
I can't believe that you're coming to Cuba... This is a crazy country... LOL
Merry Christmas

Yep, bikes are fun, do you ride?

ClefairyKid In reply to SnapperRod [2011-12-17 23:02:32 +0000 UTC]

I haven't at this stage, although I'd like to try at some stage, my family and partner's family are pretty heavily involved in them, both dirt bikes and classic duactis Can say I've at least sat on some pretty impressive bikes, but I need to find something a lot smaller to be able to give riding one a shot XD I'm pretty small

SnapperRod In reply to ClefairyKid [2011-12-19 09:58:23 +0000 UTC]

The vertically challenged problem, a big hole in the motorcycle industry that somebody needs to fill. My wife had the same problem, too short in the leg, and you do need to get two feet firmly grounded, tippy-toe is not a good option.

ClefairyKid In reply to SnapperRod [2011-12-19 23:41:13 +0000 UTC]

It sure is
I know what you mean about the tippy toe thing, and it doesn't help that a lot of the bikes I'm around in particular are rather large to start with; [link]
Something tells me, a smaller bike is very necessary at this point

SnapperRod In reply to ClefairyKid [2011-12-20 09:38:43 +0000 UTC]

Nice picture but I sure hope you don't dress like that when riding? , even for fun.

I am not a great sports bike fan as I do more for long distance, two's up touring.

My current beast is a 1300 FJR and the previous one was 1100 Pan European, but that one got totalled.

ClefairyKid In reply to SnapperRod [2011-12-20 12:02:56 +0000 UTC]

Of course not, it's only a friend's bike, he wanted the picture XD Like I said, I'm far too small for any of the bikes I'm around.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SnapperRod In reply to ClefairyKid [2011-12-20 12:08:34 +0000 UTC]

I can see why he wanted the picture, that part is easy to spot

I just see too many 'idiots' on bikes not properly dressed and it pains me.
The black stuff and skin do not mix well together - been there - done that - not nice. Enough said.
