What made you abandon your two-wheel drive with your female
companion?
My "female companion" got a better offer and moved on along with her motorcycles.
I kept up those outback trips for a few years more until I decided I just couldn't keep fit enough to manage the trips. That and an RSI issue with my elbows which made riding a large motorcycle particularly unpleasant.
Albeit two times two equals four, it's not the same as a
four-wheeler...
And the four wheeler has aircon.
I was on the road from just before New Year until early February this year visiting country New South Wales - the daily temperatures were often 44C. That would not be nice on a motorcycle.
Some of us here in Fidonews really loved your weekly reports from yesteryears, you know?
Although travelling now in airconditioned comfort my trips are no longer sufficiently exciting to warrant writing about.
The motorcycle trips tended to be travelling every day (16000km in 3 weeks and distances like that) were-as now I'm inclined to stop for a week or so here or there and just soak up the serenity.
