Where the streets have no name

10 years ago, I had to hang up my helmet and sell my Vstrom due to a complicate surgery in my spine.

Now, I am hitting back the road again, this time on a beautiful Paneuropean.

Life is lovely. Not always, but lovely after all.

Had a Pan European 1300ST since new 2009

Tried to talk myself into putting it up for sale but when I took it for an MOT to sell, I realised I couldn't part with it. Amazing bike. Toured all over Europe with it and it's never missed a beat. Over 30,000 miles on it now. I'll never sell it

~Did a few days in Wales last month, the Elan Valley from Devils Bridge to Rhayader was a great ride, I had the weather for it though.

Just watched an episode of the motorbike show where they did that ride, looks really good and certainly one to add to the list of must do's

Definitely, I will explore that route in late July. If anyone is interested in join in, we could arrange a group.

I do enjoy a trip around Wales, off there in August for four days.

RBR landmarks to get, visit Pendine and a look at Portmerion is on the cards
