That was the reason that there was no news online from this post on Monday. We rode two very light motorcycles to Cadzand Bad and back. With a day of relative peace between the outward and return journeys.
Because on a Honda S90 from 1966 and an 120 cc Super Cub clone that is just as old and we borrowed it from Dimitri of the Super Motor Company (www.supermotorcompany.com), the travel time between Arnhem and Cadzand Bad ( 261 km according to the route planner) quite an hour or 9, almost ten.
Then you drive on Dutch roads where you regularly imagine yourself in the sixties. And traveling in this way is of course completely Zen: The purpose of the journey is the journey. Not the point of arrival.
The freshly overhauled. really classic Honda has a 'Dauergeschwindigkeit' of 70. The (tuned) 120 cc Super Motor could be considerably faster.
And if there were any problems during the three-day trip from 600 + km?
No, it is not. The Honda lived up to its reputation as the Super Motor proved that it was a good idea of BMW to have the engine blocks of the F800s also made in China. Refueling and driving. Delicious.
The comment about how real we were as motorcyclists came from an Aprilia pilot who surprised us during a fuel stop. Another festive thing: the Super Motor's tank is just under three liters 'big'.
And then you fill it up for a few euros to the brim full ...
And if you then read carelessly upwards in the second paragraph, you will also see Bad Company. Talk about nostalgia.
