My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

After dreaming about it for more than 25 years but putting it off to keep others happy, at the end of last year I finally got my motorcycle licence and a bike.

After a most relaxing ride this afternoon I thought this would be a good idea for a thread as it is most definitely part of my self care strategy.

I'm sure anyone who has ridden a bike will understand what I mean 😁

Until today my rides have been just that, rides. I tried it out this afternoon and want to allow more time for stops and enjoy another self care activity. Photography. If I can share some of those photos then maybe others can enjoy the ride with me 😊

hey @Determined sorry i didn't see this thread, this is great.

here is a photo of my project. i have owned the bike since 1995 and have not ridden it since 1999

i used to skim dams with her, go over jumps and ride through reserves. it is the most amazing bike, never gave me an ounce of trouble. it was in bad shap so i am restoring it to it's former glory.

KTM *890 Duke is on my bucket list

Can't see that happening any time soon though.

And to be fair its not exactly a family guy bike 😄

LoL that was KTM 890 not 90 Duke.

They call it the scapel due to how it corners.

Went for a ride this morning,

Wanted to visit FIL in hospital and catch up with his Dr. Took the bike and a scenic route turning a 100km 1.5 hour round, trip into a 200+ km 4hr round trip. It helped that I missed a turn on the way home adding an extra hour to the trip. Quary truck log trucks and grants doing 30 under the speed limit aside it was a most relaxing ride.

And for the record I am not one for speed. I just like to turtle along and enjoy the scenery. Notice so much more on the bike than in a car foe some reason.

Participated in a group charity ride this past weekend with my Darling.
It has been only the second ride together since FIL went to hospital ~18 months ago.
Children are old enough now to be left unsupervised for a short time so we need to make a commitment to do this more often. Found the group ride great in that we did not have to think about where to go, just follow the leader 🙂
And what an awesome feeling being in a pack of 100+ bikes.
