INTERESTING MOTORCYCLES SPOTTED ABROAD

WHAT CAUGHT YOUR EYE WHEN YOU WERE ON HOLIDAY?

BY Lucy England ON 09 August 2023

Have you managed to get away over the water for some fun in the sun this year? Let’s face it there hasn’t been a whole lot of sun about here lately, so can’t blame you if you headed overseas? If so did you go to a country full of motorcycles? Do you think that motorcyclists are appreciated more in some other countries than they are in the UK?

Driving across Europe in particular, motorcyclists often seem to be welcomed and wave at each other in a companionable way as their paths cross.

In some countries they are laden like mules with all the family’s possessions, or used as the main transport for businesses, in others they are delivery machines, despatch bikes, tourers or commuters etc, like they are here.

If you have managed to get away, did you see many machines on your travels which you liked or were noteworthy in some way? It seems that other people’s bikes are always fascinating, especially somehow, when spotted in other countries. If you did see anything you coveted or which just caught your attention, did you take a picture of it and what did you like about it?

We’d love to hear about the bikes you spotted and even better, send us a picture if you took one.

We've put in some which we’ve been sent by staff who have been away and seen something they liked.

Let us know what you saw and send us your bike pics if you have any at: [email protected] or on Facebook

Here are some we've had sent in already - great old working machine spotted in Turkey 9 years apart and both still in use - despite the flat tyre! Many thanks for the photos Paul.
