Said farewell to my first big bike

[Lurch]

5 years, and it has been good to me, but today I said goodbye to my trusty workhorse, the Honda Deauville.

Delivered her to the new owner this afternoon.

And on a brighter day:

I have trouble lettings my things go to a new home, even tough I don't need them anymore :/. I remember listing my car for sale at least 3 times and pulling the ad 1-2 days later :0.

I rode 22 hours non-stop from Switzerland/France to Suffolk UK without a moan....

 

[Lurch]

I’ve never done more than 13 hours on a bike though.

At least you had the final ride with a purpose. I don't know about yourself but I like riding with a purpose besides commuting

Beauty. It's always sad to sell a bike, but a very happy day when you get another.
