Watcha
« on: March 01, 2015, 04:24:58 pm »
Hi, I'm Dave, don't have a K any more but Rae persuaded me to join so blame him  :-X

I'v been riding for an awful long time and BMW's mainly since 1978. My current bike is a 2009 R1200GS which suits me and my wife Cally. We have toured a lot of Europe from Sicily and Sardinia in the south, Romania in the east, Estonia in the north and a foray into Ireland last year. Since we've been retired our mileage has gone down considerably, I no longer use my bike for work, and Cally is not in the best of health. That being said I do get out as much as I can so you'll likely see me out and about.

A huge welcome Dave I'm sure you'll enjoy the site and believe me not all of us are 'strange or mad' some of us might even be slightly normal :o

Cheers

Hi Dave good to have you on the good ship EuroKClub. 

Be interesting to hear of your ride through Sardinia and Sicily. I thought that a trip up through Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica would be awesome.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm used to strange people Rae  :-X  Sardinia and Corsica where one trip and Sicily a different one. We are going back to Sicily in May, sadly flying out there and hiring a car. We want to 're-discover' the routes of the Targa Florio and also discover 'Montalbano country'.
