Salt and snow on the roads…so unfortunately no riding on Bumblebee. But time to take off to Berlin for a long weekend of fun. Berlin used to be divided in East and West Berlin by the Berlin Wall and that is still visible nowadays years after the fall of the wall. Berlin is my favourite…
Salt & show
Riding is therapeutic and I love to do it the whole year round but there is one reason not to ride… And that is when they spray salt on the roads because it is really eating your bike alive. Fortunately it rained in between and on my day off the weather was dry and with…
Pink, flowers & girl bikes
Dear designers of motorcycles and bike wear, What women want? The same as men. Some like fast bikes, other tour bikes or choppers. The only thing that differs is that women have different anatomy, are smaller on average and less strong. Searching for a bike lots of bikes were striped of my list. Not because…
Operation Bumblebee
After a melt down on the highway some weeks ago Bumblebee is fixed again. With the enormous help of my friend who is mechanic we operated Bumblebee. First we changed the sensor for a new one and to be sure we also changed the fuel pump with the help of a donor bike. I find…

Some disadvantages have advantages. While Ophelia brings heavy storm to Ireland the Netherlands are experiencing some of the warmest Autumn days ever on the other site of the Channel. We decided to make use of this beautiful sunny Sunday and take Bumblebee and Megatron for a tour partly around the north of the IJsselmeer which…
Observe, anticipate & enjoy!
Since I ride motorcycle I experience traffic completely different. Being outside on a balance vehicle surrendered to the elements I observe and anticipate with a clear purpose. Being able to park my Bumblebee in the garage in one piece including myself! Motorcycling is great fun taking in the scenery, enjoying winding roads touring around. But…
Escaping Autumn in France
Since we did not have a great summer and Iceland is not really the summer destination on earth, the three of us decided to hit the road to France to catch some sun. For the first time we used a motortrailer which is very practical if you haven’t got a lot of time and want…
Touch down
When I was thinking of buying Bumblebee lots of motorcycles were to tall or heavy for me. My dad said you don’t have to carry your bike and he is right. But if you have to push or pull it out of the garage and move it around it is very nice if you are able to do this…
