I have arrived back home. Jet lag is not too bad, a little sleep on the flight took care of that I hope. On the train last night looking out of a darkened window I would swear that I saw the shadows of New Zealand hills and forest flash by. It has had that magnitude of an impact on me and one reason why I also slept with a light on last night so that I did not awake in a darkened room in a middle earth dreamworld as nice as that may have been. I am grateful for many memories and experiences, only a few of which have been included in this blog. And 3500km riding in 11 days is, for my English bones, just about right thank you!
Thanks everyone who made time to read the musings of a middle aged man. I have enjoyed putting finger to keyboard and through this, being that this is a first blog, have found a new mechanism other than FaceBook (which I am now off forever), of expressing my thoughts and observations, as much for me to read over the coming months and to help what I think is a failing memory, as well as sharing the journey with you.
I will add the YouTube links to this post as I get them done over the coming week... but to start with here is a compilation of the 12 days in the saddle, see : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikcxqxyl6Xs
Thanks for travelling with me...
Speak soon

Hi Wayne,
ReplyDeleteSorry your vacation had to end, but I suppose that you have to heal sometime. My email is mdudzik@gmail.com (I will also send it via email).
M
Wayne, our time has come to an end. Although I will be used again by many men, and no doubt in this modern world some women, you will always remain in my memory. I am now all cleaned, refreshed with oil and new shoes ready to go again. Such is the life of a working machine.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for your gentle touch and your kind words. As I live in the shadow of the BMW 1200GS and feel my true worth often over looked, your musings have given me self belief and confidence.
I hope we meet again, but if not through me then one of my kin that Randal keeps so well and so happy.
Yours fondly,
Yamaha XTZ 1200 Super Tenere A6FBE
