Hi All,

after being single for over 10 years, I finally got a new Lady. Just a different hair color  :drool:

This one is for nice dry weather only. My other bikes were driven year round.
Have to make it short as the Lady is waiting to receive some tender loving care so she looks spiffy when I take her out tomorrow  :cruisin: through beautiful Mergelland (Netherlands)

Welcome to the forum Andre, what other bikes do you have?

I am the proud owner of two more bikes. One touring-bike and a race-bike. Makes are Pegasus and Principia. These bikes belong to the bicycle category  :rofl2:

@Kiwifruit For now just one picture. The Lady's make-up is not fully done and her shoes are not shined. She does not feel comfortable to show her body in detail...yet  :rofl2:

There will be lots more pics when I introduce her in detail in 'Member's Bikes'.

There will also be a pic-report about my favorite riding area. I would not be surprised if @Blubber and other Dutch/Belgian members here are familiar with the area. That's a project which will take me awhile. Stay tuned :stir:

Here is my Lady /Hope I figured the pic-attachment thingy out :salute:?

Thank you Rob :smile2: Yeah, I enjoy being healthy again to ride the 14. I sold my 1st due to health reasons. Couldn't handle even 5 minutes on it. Was a long process to get back. But here I am. :boogie:

Welcome :)

Good looking bike and you have some nice countryside in your corner of Germany to enjoy it in - I have some accommodation booked in the Mosel in a few days time and I'm really looking forward to spending a bit of time in the Eifel and Ardenns again.

Stay safe.

Pete.

@Rynglieder You are right. Even though I grew up here, there is still much for me to discover in just a days ride. As a youth I stayed in a castle (Cochem) for 3 weeks. The son of the castles admin was my age and showed me every nook and crany of it. It was a blast!

The only thing I don't like about the Eifel is the insane traffic on sunny weekends. Many people there are very anti motorcyclists due to a large number of denuded mufflers and very aggressive drivers. Every season the number of dead bikers is staggering.

I wish you a wonderful vacation!!!
