A Tasmanian on the Road
Once upon a time there was a young lady from Tasmania. She had very ambitious dreams, such as riding from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, and she thought that she had found the right bike for the job when I sold her my Nella, the BMW F650GS.
Detective Bob, a closet adventurer himself, recently discovered Deb's postings on the ADV-Rider Forum, and found the bike looked familiar. Thank you, Bob, for finding her. I couldn't believe how far Nella and her new rider had already traveled.

Cool to be able to follow your old bike in it's new adventures.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can get it back after it's trip and then it'll be able to take you on the same adventure - at least one of you will know where you are going...
That is very cool indeed that you have discovered what happened to Nella. In some strange way, it must make you feel proud that she is on such an journey. Well done Bob.
ReplyDeleteShe's no lemon!
ReplyDeleteYep that's cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing her blog with us, one I'm going to have to sit down with a cup of coffee to peruse properly.
Sonja, thanks for sharing. I'm going to enjoy this, great that Bob found it.
ReplyDeleteWow, look how far Nella has traveled. So cool that you are able to follow her and Deb along now. Good sleuthing skills Bob.
ReplyDeleteWow, how wonderful is that. I've read some of her postings on ADV but hadn't a clue that was Nella. I suspect I'll drop in on her thread more frequently now....and go back and look at the beginnings.

ReplyDeleteI am amazed at where she has been, how many times she dumped the bike, then it broke down, and her boyfriend came for a couple of weeks. What an adventure !
and she is always smiling . . .
