So Johan and his father are planning this amazing two month trip around the United States in the spring. That is great for someone who can take 2 months off of work (which they both can and keep their jobs), but I unfortunately can’t… and we only have two KLRs in the States, so there wouldn’t be much room for me 🙁
So I have to have my own fun while they are gone. I’ve decided to hang out with my friends in Prague this spring. Prague is a great city, but I just know I will want to escape. So I wanted to have access on a motorcycle.
Now my Suzuki DR350 is awesome. But it is not a good motorcycle for long trips, such as this one to Prague from Skelleftea, which is about 2000km plus. That would definitely give me monkey butt… not good!
So, I decided to convince Johan to buy me a Honda Transalp. If I were rich, I would want a BMW F 650 GS. But I’m not. A Transalp is a great alternative for me. It’s heavy, but not too tall for me (I’m 5’3″, or 160cm), and it is a dual sport! Just in case I get the urge to go off road… which I do all the time 🙂
Luckily while we were in Stockholm we had a chance to check out a Transalp 92… love at first site! Will be bringing her home at the end of November!
Now for the eye candy 🙂
Stay tuned, when we get her home I will have some work to do on her!
