A very Harley Experience

Eve & Vinden have moved to Brussels, Ali & Roger plus 12 or so friends and family are in Cuba (again), Sandra F is in New York (ok so it's business) and Sarah is in France.

I WANT TO BE AWAY........
What do you think about me doing the journey al la Billy Connelly; on a Harley Trike? No seriously, I am considering this. Simon L mentioned it on my birthday, as a piss take I suspect. It would mean no effing U Turns to fret about though and I could take some luggage. Or rather buy shed loads when I'm in the States. So many shoes.....so many States........

I will indeed continue with obtaining a bike licence cos I want to be able to ride a big bike. But does the trip have to be on one? Could this be an acceptable compromise?

Come on all of you, give me your thoughts.
Pros:
  1. I will have a more comfy ride across all those thousands of American miles
  2. I can take luggage
  3. I will still feel the wind in my hair
  4. I will be less likely to fall off a Trike than a Bike
  5. Darling Daughter will be happier
  6. I don't need a Bike licence to ride it (I think!)

Cons:

  1. I'll look a prat

    Hi Tanie..tis Margo-go-go GO GO GO GIRL...what the hell are you waiting for??? Just book your flight, hire a car...let your adventure begin.Don't wait around for another cabinet soft shoe shuffle
    Forget the shoes, auction them off. Start a new collection when you get back to the UK. Throw your hats into the ring..won't need them if you want to feel the wind in your hair.
    I'm off to France tomorrow for a week. When I get back I want hear you are GOING!
    Rebecca will be back from 10 months at sea on 22nd May..sea how the time flies?
    Now you get going my lovely friend..no time like the present.
    I'm not really a bully, just a buddy.

    Good advice from a good buddy - unless, of course, you really don't want to go now. If you do take Margox's advice, I'll bid on a shoe. I need something to drink my raspberry cordial from.

    Didn't Billy Connolly ride naked at one point - Oh er - never mind the wind in your hair girl. Only question is - will you feel you haven't really 'done it'. If its enough then I suspect you will get even more attention on a three wheeler - but of course that's not your style. So much better for the hip as well dear.

    Well Margo, Lawn and CJ, YES I doooo want to still go. And the only thing that is stopping me jumpo on that plane is the blinking bike licence - honest!

    I AM going in June, be it in a car, on a bike, trike, push bike or walking across in a pair of trainers

    I've had enough, just worn out with being on hold
