Turning 60 tomorrow so decided to wind my 50’s up with a ride that for me was a bit different. A mate on a Ducati 750SS and myself on the Street Triple R took off at 7.30am and did about 200km on very good sealed roads with little traffic before intentionally arriving at the end of the known universe, others may know it as unsealed roads. It was only about 30km to get to the next section of quality highway but for me it was foreign. Fortunately it hadn’t rained for some time therefore no slippery mud just dust and sand. After a few km I became brave and decided 3rd gear and about 40 to 50 km / hr was my limit, the only concern in the back of my mind was not spotting a pot hole in time and doing in a rim. Because this little black duck and dirt roads are natural enemies we stopped a couple of times for photos. In the first photo the sign said 2km of winding road, can’t work that one out it was 30km. The second photo is my bike parked on the wrong side of the road beside a small termite mound. Once back onto the black top we did another 250km with a long stop off for coffee at my mate’s brothers place. Arrived home dusty but with a smile on the face at about 4.00pm, a quick dunk in the pool and then a couple of beers. What comes after 60?
60th!!!
