areas. You are sometimes turned
away from scarcely existing accom-
modation on the grounds that you
are not married to each other; or try
as you may, sometimes you cannot
get to the target village/town before
sundown or you hit stretches of des-
olate mountain roads where there is
no food, fuel or water for long, long
distances.
Riding solo and unsupported gives
you plenty of thrills but lots of chal-
lenges.
If you are tempted, try a wild ride
with your partner making sure you
know your machine, can do emer-
gency repairs and that you take all
spares necessary. You will discover
a lot about yourself and each other.
The two of you will end up as one,
like a well-oiled engine and will be
able to dance the harmonious dance
of cooperation, forbearance and un-
bridled joy … MV
