Hi Detlev,
This is a recent picture of
a chap I 'met' through your website. His name is Mike Ralph and he
lives not too far away from me in Wolverhampton. We began sending e-mails to
each other after he had read my details on the guest page. The weather has been
pretty horrible here recently, so after a good few weeks of waiting and getting
frustrated, we finally went out for a 'spin' around Wales last Sunday. My wife,
Sue came along too and we did about 250 miles on one of my 'Welsh wanderings',
most of which Mike had not done before. We got on really well and took loads of
pictures of him on his almost brand new Transalp, I understand that he is
now using the picture that I have attached as windows
wallpaper! Mike is very enthusiastic about biking, and we are going to
have a lot more enjoyment now there's at least two of us in the West of England
with 'monster trailies' and I suppose that it's all down to Deti's marvellous
Transalp page!
BTW, we stopped at a famous 'biker cafe' a Llandovery, nearly
every bike outside was a Fireblade!
