I am so envious of your bike!!! In my earlier years (30s), I rode a Lambretta for years which I loved, but now, gaining in years, I have had a desire to ride a Harley (only on the back though). Several people have offered to help me cross this one off my bucket list but so far none of them have actually taken me!! Maybe one day!!!

I've spent the past 15 years riding pillion on our GoldWings and loved every minute but now I see exactly why people like to actually 'ryde' (we spell all sorts of things with a 'y' now - it's Spyder speak). Wind Therapy - love it and can't wait for some decent weather.<br /><br />I almost took 2-wheel lessons for my 50th but decided I was happier sitting behind my hubby, this I can ryde on my car licence so I've not had to be as brave as you but still had to learn how to deal with traffic from the more vulnerable vehicle. Have fun when you get yours out again.CraftyJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383492015786933744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-46216147558963196892016-01-27T23:51:00.759+00:002016-01-27T23:51:00.759+00:00For got to say pulled me socks up last week and cr...For got to say pulled me socks up last week and crafted every day a bit apart from Sunday Monday struck down with sickness bug so not good back on track will post some work and enter challenges just got calander one to do Twitter of the flower one xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538794875642811807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-82957607922299951272016-01-27T23:45:52.944+00:002016-01-27T23:45:52.944+00:00My brother got a motor about his fifys fellow over...My brother got a motor about his fifys fellow over outside ours big old bike but his bad shoulders know bad knees about two years ago sold it and brought think could a spider three wheeler still just sits there but won't sell it no going to go out ride it he lives about five mins walk from Hochanda over road if ever you and Dave would like a look sure would love to got photo on Katies profile her sitting on it she says she is missing you hugs night night Joy xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538794875642811807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-39895083120840757802016-01-27T23:10:44.709+00:002016-01-27T23:10:44.709+00:00Naaa she needs a Doctor...xxNaaa she needs a Doctor...xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775023439020643243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-89826939154396328672016-01-27T22:52:24.298+00:002016-01-27T22:52:24.298+00:00I was afraid to ask , thanks Barbara .

The only training I got was as I was headed towards the edge of the hill at what seemed like 100 miles an hour, as in my panick I pulled the throttle back!!! Shouting "how do you get it to stop"? My Brother shouted after me "you will have to just fall sideways so you don't go over the hill" . So I did, I trusted my Brother completely. thats when he told me that to go faster you have to pull back on the throttle and to stop you turn it forward!!!! We did LOL though - no bones broken but it's cars for me all the way!

Learning to just go with what comes and the fact the ink squelches out the side or seeps through the margin sometimes makes me feel like throwing it away. Then if I'm in the JFDI frame of mind I can just accept that the ink seepage will add something to the following pages! I never would have even thought of doing an art journal if it hadn't been for you introducing the Gelli plate to us. The freedom to create comes with that tool, hidden in the box, like an added bonus. Can't say for sure what the print will look like so either you live with what comes or you give up. I love mine now, experimenting with different ways of using it sometimes it goes well, others I just chalk up to experience. Thank you for giving me the freedom to try!
