Filmed a couple of days ago, this is Jackie and I driving our AC Cobra replica across Spain. The sun was shining and the roads (almost) clear so we made good time and had a lot of fun.....
Sigh. When I was finally able to pull my eyes away from the beautiful lines on the Cobra I was pulled by gorgeous Spain. The travel bug is starting to gnaw between this and RTW reports. Have a great adventure!!
This blog was originally started to record a five month, 21000 mile tour of the US on my Harley-Davidson. I continue to use this blog to record my own motorcycling adventures, wherever they may be, along with my thoughts and opinions about motorcycling generally.
Having devoted most of my adult life to being a ‘company man’, the transition to the next phase of my life away from the construction industry was always going to include some challenges. Planning and then making my dream trip to explore America on my Harley-Davidson proved to be the ideal vehicle for clearing my mind of old ways of thinking and being. I rode 21,475 miles, in 27 US states in four-and-a-half months.
My motorcycling trips have continued, with journeys across much of Europe, New Zealand, North Africa and Cuba.
A few years ago, I set up and now run Tour1, which takes riders on Harley-Davidson Authorised tours across Europe. See www.tour1.co.uk.
I live just north of London in the UK.
A 2006 Road King called 'The Leading Ladies' due to the portraits of ten 1940's and 1950's actresses painted on the bike. This is the motorcycle I use to ride through America on.
My Custom Harley 'Tradewinds'
Called 'Tradewinds' this bike has a H-D engine but almost everything else is custom, made specifically for the bike.
My Custom Harley 'Amelia'
Built in 2012, this is a seventies style traditional chopper, with considerable engraving and a tremendous paint scheme

US Tour - My Favourites Places I Went To....
It is difficult to choose, but here is my list of the highlights of my US tour, in the order I saw them in....
31. Back roads and small towns anywhere.
32. Meeting really nice people, in just about all of the places I have been.
33. The camaraderie of bikers. Everywhere, US.

I liked the different perspectives & I missed the deep rumble of your exhausts.
I saw a beautiful red Cobra in White Rock last Sunday. You could hear it from a km away. I will be getting my 'Vette out soon

Well now, that looks like fun.
Beautiful car, beautiful weather, great roads. Ahhhhh. It's good to be you.
I especially liked the perspective facing the rear because your car matched the blue sky and clouds.
