The Anniversary Gift
On the fourteenth day of May (tomorrow)
We celebrate our special day
Special both for him and me
It is our anni-ver-sary.
I scoured Google, trying to find
What gift you have for year nine
And there it was upon the list
A present that should not be missed
Pottery is year nine
Isn’t that just so divine!
No, well actually it’s not
I just don’t want another pot.
I don’t want crystal, lace or feathers
Diamonds, jade, or fancy leather,
Don’t want jewels, or wool, or wood
Linen, silk, or tin’s no good
You get some bronze for year eight
But bronze is something I would hate
Six is sugar, very sickly
Down the list I move right quickly
Flowers
Cotton
Wax
And fur!
NO! I want a silencer!
Carbon-fibre, nice and sporty
Even if I’m over forty (and the rest)
On the bike with visor down
Making noise right through the town
Throaty rumble, mighty roar
Now that’s the gift I’m dying for!

BMW 800’s are a rarity in the US.

There are a few guys from the US on the F800 forum. It was quite a change for me, my hubby and I had R1100S’s before, but he had serious vibration problems. Now I’m used to the F800 I just love it. Do you do a lot of scuba diving? I dived for ten years around the UK – all cold water and dry-suit! Best diving ever was the wrecks at Scapa Flow. Do you do any underwater photography?

I used to do a lot of diving, not so much anymore. Never did much underwater photography, limited to taking pictures of other divers with their camera. Scapa Flow is famous, but has a high accident rate due to the depth and cold. I havn’t owned a motorcycle in a long time either, but it never left my heart.

I always hated wearing these helmets. I would prefer something from the Prussian wars.

Gone are the days in the sixties when I zoomed around the English country roads with no helmet at all! At least these days they are super light and have lots of vents.

I thought I could drive here without, but when I arrived they made the same law.
