If I'm honest, I'd love my life to be more like that...
I think it's tragic how being a 'motorcyclist/biker' (or whatever you want to call it) in England in 2013, really isn't a lot of fun.
There's so much counting against it; going abroad helps, but somehow (for me at least) something is seriously lacking...
On my way to Devon's do, on the motorway, I passed a guy on a hardtail Sportster bobber, not an Evo, it was the old N reg.
He had a fringed suede jacket on, camo trousers, bubble visor lid, a duffel strapped to the cissy bar.
He'd have looked great in that movie, but he was in the slow lane, being passed by lorries, it was pissing with rain, and he was soaked.
Was he living the dream..? Was he having a great time..? I doubt it, but who the fuck knows.
Maybe it's me, but I keep asking... 'Are we having fun yet..?'
I thought the Classic weekend was an oldtimer's version of the Video complete with wobbly boxes and caravans
On a more serious note the Swiss couple seemed to be having a great adventure on their Ural and Ching Chang outfits and really enjoying themselves plus Joel and Phoebe's (who joined the Saturday ride out) enthusiasm to tour Europe for 3 months on the GSA Adventure they picked up the day before was refreshing and not a million miles from the sentiment of the video
