How it all started....

Tomorrow it will be two years to the day that I left Australia for the vast unknown. I spent two wonderful months in South-East Asia before making the biggest step I had ever taken in my life. Live in the UK. I know that everyday there is another young Australian headed to London with the plans to live it up and travel all through Europe, but still, it was big. 

            Even before I left I had been saying that I wanted to buy a motorcycle here and travel around Europe. But as it does, time gets away from you. I ended up living in a ski resort over winter last year in Austria, Working and living in a hotel, but spending all my spare time on the snow. It was awesome! Then last year, I spent more time travelling than working, which I am in no way complaining about by the way, but as it does, my bank accounts suffered greatly. 

            So on the 20th of February I bought a bike! I was (and still am) thrilled. It is an old BMW F650ST. From 1997, and already had 50,000 miles on the clock. But it was in my price range, and these bikes, so I'm told, go forever! Now I have started to make it mine. As every motorcycle owner knows, there are millions of things that can be added to a bike, so i will have to choose carefully, or I will spend the cost of the bike all over again!!

Now I just have to name the old gal. Any suggestions would be fantastic!!
