    Well I am the proud owner of a beautiful bike!

    I have finally updated my albums to show some select pictures of my recent holiday with my fiancee to Egypt.  We went everywhere our budge would take us!; Luxor, Cairo, Hurgada (Red Sea) Giza, Lake Nasser, Eastern Desert, Beginning of the Sahara desert, Karnak and Aswan, just about everywhere save for Sharm El Sheikh but we didn't miss much there.
    You can see some of the places in the piccies.  They are breathtaking, I can hardly believe I have been.  I will pop up a piccie of my bikey in a mo so you can 'ooh' and 'ahh' where appropriate!
    Thanks for your messages everyone, I am not on here very often as you can probably gather by my blogs! So! if you leave a message on one of my blogs I will pop on back to your site and say 'ello!

    Bring on that nice warm and sunny weather- I am constantly worried my 167kg bike will go over in the storm and winds!  I do have to admit two things about my bike;
    1.  She is damn heavy, 17kg heavier than I first thjought.  If, like me, your drive is grass and gravel, then please be prepared and focus on what you are doing.  Best to start her up rather than walk her up it, I have found out the hard way as my back is like a plank of wood now.
    2. She is has a low top speed.  I am too ashamed to say it, but I wont be winning any awards on that front that is for sure!!

    Anyone have any advie or biking experience that they want to share with me then drop a message and I will be glad to hear from you.

    All the best everyone!
