Look what I saw today

Met a woman who said she had two of these and was prepping them to ride to South Africa.

Asked if I wanted to come (oh for not having family and commitments).

She was admiring my zebra while I admired her bike.

I like it.
That is the only bike out there which is in contention with the Africa Twin.

Re: Look what I saw today

thought it may have been Mardi-Louise or Janine's bike but they had the single headlight set up as far as i know...

looks like we are having a couple in for usd conversions soon, be interesting to put one up against the S10.

I was too crest-fallen about the zebra failing its MOT so I forgot to ask her name.

I did recommend she visit the site though.

She was tall with long, light-coloured hair.

Re: Look what I saw today

So you were talking to a tall blonde and it was the MOT that made you forget to ask her name?
