Wow Rocky. The ride & pics look amazing. Adi-poli! I am tuned in.
Have a dream- Believe in it and work towards it. It happens.
Congrats on many fronts to you. The marriage, the ride etc. Also congrats to your wife on her maiden trip. I know how it feels to ride with your better half after my wife also did her maiden trip in Europe. Maybe next time try a bike with a top box, so you get additional storage space and wife will have a back support and will be more reassuring for her
. Also worth investing in a not too expensive Chatterbox HJC50 intercom (or if you wish a more expensive bluetooth set)- makes it more enjoyable when you can constantly converse with your partner on the ride.
True, the guys at ADV are just amazing when it comes to guidance. Ride safe & wish you many many more miles of safe & enjoyable riding.
