Margreth van Aartsen - riding in Maui (looks fabulous!)

Photo provided by Frank Hills of a custom R1200C trike brought by a friend of former Editor Reg Thompson “1997 R1200C Classic needs a good tidy up but rides well”. Other info sourced reveals that the R1200C was fitted with a trike kit with independant rear end, Landrover diff, rear disc brakes and a handbrake!

Certainly a head-turning unit.

MOTORCYCLISTS on the HIGH SEAS

By Jane Gray, Member # 4300

Iwas taking a break from touring with Tony on the back of the ‘Gray Ghost’ by heading to the high seas with lifelong school friend Dianne. We had booked a P&O cruise along the east coast to Melbourne to take in the Melbourne Cup. That was in 2020 and we all know what happened then - yes our sea voyage plan was scuttled by Covid.

Two years later here we are heading through Bass Strait when I recognized a couple of familiar faces from a previous Horizons Unlimited gathering. Yes, none other than Queensland’s own intrepid world motorcycle travelers, Peter and Kay Forwood. They also recognised me immediately of course, lol. Their exploits on their Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic, christened ‘The Motorcycle’, is the stuff of legends.

‘The Motorcycle’ has covered over 600,000km with over 500,000km of that life spent visiting every one of the 193 countries recognised by the United Nations and more than 400 non-internationally recognised areas making it the most widely traveled vehicle in the world at the time.

I think they deserve a rest.
