What can I say?
This was to be the father and son ride that didn't happen in 2018. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Time to put the camping gear back into the various storage boxes until the stars align again.
My son has decided to sell the BMW. He had always intended to sell it once we had done the lap. A sad day. A great bike. I've taken it out a couple of times over the last month or so and love it. But my marriage would not be able to handle another bike in the stable. Three's the limit.
The current COVID-19 situation still has a long way to run and it'll take a long while for many to find employment etc as the economy slowly recovers. While the retirement income has been hit hard, the younger ones will be doing far harder. My disappointment really is just a First World problem with so may others in far worse situations than me.
Once this is over our first trip will be to see our daughter on Groote Eylandt (which has been in lockdown for some time). Maybe next year will see panniers loaded up for a few little getaways. Who knows.
Stay safe and maybe I'll see you on the road. Don't forget to nod or wave.
I look forward to reading your two wheeled exploits in this great brown land, My Country
