What a nice day today! First, the German soccer team sent the Brits home in a beautiful 4:1 game. And second, Guido and I did our first ride on two bikes again. After practicing on a parking lot some days ago, I finally wanted to ride my new DR200SE on the road. And it was FUN!! Riding the V-Strom was always kind of stressful and sometimes even scary. With Baby Sue (our friend Sonja helped us finding the name for this tiny Suzuki bike) however, the experience was sooo different! This bike is so light and easy to handle and finally I really feel that I have everything under control.
With around 28 miles, it was a fairly short ride, but this should be only the beginning of a great summer on two wheels. Thanks to Guido, who chose the route very carefully and did a nice job on leading the way, this tour gave me lots of confidence. I can't wait to get back on the road again with Baby Sue who has done only about 550 miles in the 9 years of 'her' life so far. More to come!
