Back in 1997, hubby (rocker57) and I were travelling in Europe, we chanced upon a group of aged bikers with their spouses/partners somewhere in Germany. Geared in leather jackets, jeans, bandannas and shades....and their big bikes, obviously.. they seem so cool and enjoying life. Rocker57 said to me that he would want to do just that when the time is right.
Fast forward 13 years...The time is RIGHT!!!
Firstly, rocker57 had to pass a B full license to enable him to ride bikes above 250cc. So, he registered, went for lessons and passed. Haven't ridden for over 3 decades, we scouted around for a bike that would meet our needs & requirements. After learning more on superbikes from various visits to motorbike shops, we finally settled for Kawasaki ER-6F, it met our expectations and budget.
First day - rocker57 was elated to ride on his new love affair, whille I patiently waited in the car (tailing him as I had to drop him earlier)...er..something wasn't right...he got on the bike and then, got off. Ran after the boss that sold him the bike, after some demo and chat, rocker 57 gladly rode to the nearest petrol station to fuel up.
Later on, I found out that rocker57 didn't even know how to put into gear!! OMG!!!
Now, this is the beginning of a new chapter in our semi-retired lives.
