Our 39th Anniversary

39th Anniversary In Turkey

A big deal was our 39th anniversary. People we met in Bergama had stayed at a nice hotel in Selcuk that had a pool and was higher end so I was able to make a reservation last minute with them and we’ve been able to stay there. Pool everyday in the near 40C heat is nice. Being able to tour Europe Africa and Asia with your wife of 39 years is fantastic.

We ended up staying there and having their 4 course dinner as well. It was very good.

Why we ride

1. Intimacy with your environment. You are part of the scene, not separated from it by remaining in a car. Your vision is unobstructed.

2. No sensory deprivation. You utilize all your senses as you ride, you can smell the flowers or baking, w/o barriers to see all around you and hear everything. You can smell the rain in the air, hear the kids in the playground, almost taste the pie on the window sill.And its easy to produce the High 5!

3. Physical fitness and endurance. Adventure riding is a sport, and it requires you to stay in shape.

4. You are the Ride. Imagine first that instead of the destination being the goal, the whole ride is an integral part of the experience. Its like riding the roller coaster to and from Disneyland.

5. Gyroscopic leveraging. With 4 wheels the centre of moment moves laterally in the opposite direction to your travel (in essence you are forced away from the direction of travel). On two wheels the gyroscopic centre of moment is used to aid you travelling in harmony with the centre of moment, and aids traction.

5. Camaraderie, motorcyclists of all stripes feel akin-ship to help should a problem exist.

6. Maneuverability. Whether it’s parking or passing you have many more options.

7. Performance. Motorcycles generally have higher power to weight ratios that make them thrilling to drive.
