Rev Up Again!

After the accident back in February, we have taken our time in deciding what to do about replacing the motorbike. Full marks to Carole Nash Bike insurance, who paid up so promptly, with a fair ‘write-off’ price. We both loved the Pan European, but felt we ought to look for a newer bike – and as we didn’t have any extra money to put into the pot, we have been looking at the Honda Deauville. Last Saturday we collected this little beauty.

This model is a slightly smaller version of the Pan. This one has been pre-loved after by a biker from Nottingham - with a wife who is very slightly shorter than I am. I figured if she could climb onto the pillion then I could too!

So thank you to Paul and Helen, for selling us the bike, and to CNBI for the insurance money, and to everyone for their encouragement and good wishes over the last twelve weeks. Especially to Graham, our good friend and fellow Biking Baptist Minister, who even said that Bob could always have a ride on his Moto Guzzi sometime, if a replacement wasn’t forthcoming. That’s real friendship!!

I have to admit, I do like the red colour!
