-an OD of Love-

One of the most beautiful roads in California, hundreds of miles, riding through Joshua Tree National Park to Pioneertown. The low speed limit and high traffic don't induce you to go fast, but the high speeds is not part of the spirit of a similar ride. Cruising in tranquility, is the name of the game, preferably on some American steel, powered by a V twin Harley Davidson engine as you enjoy the beautiful country side, on the tune of Johnny Cash, Hogs Sun and Cash...give me some time to catch my breath!

Looks like it is gonna be another summer graced with concerts of a great calibre. FANTASTIC...to be sincere I still can’t believe that Roger Waters was here and I saw him LIVE in Malta. I’m not saying that the other performers who played concerts here were bad (I didn’t like Sting’s performance). I really enjoyed watching Elton John, Tina Turner, Marco Masini especially his last performance in the Gozo theatre. All three know how to get in touch with their audience. I didn’t enjoy the Australian Pink Floyd much, probably because I have seen the real thing twice. I was also disappointed with Joe Cocker’s performance too. Now I’m looking forward to the next best of this year especially the Malta Blues Wine Festival. Robert Plant, the legendary front man of the 1970s rock band Led Zeppelin, is one of the international artists that will be playing live during the Malta Blues Wine Festival, next July.Robert Plant is expected to be in Malta for two days, and will be playing at a yet undisclo

I simply adore the Bike Weeks, The spirit, the unity, the smeel of burning tyres, booze, posers and GIRLS. Is there anything else that a man needs...naaaa.

BTW, if you are finding it difficult to see what you are gonna get me as my next present, I can suggest the following two parts for my baby, just in that colour, the same like my bike...beautiful burnt orange... this blog is dedicated to all bikers, bike lovers and in memory of Patrick il-Habsi, Matthew and Bruce...they were all members of the gang...You are now riding with the Lord, ENJOY... for more pic of Daytona Beach Bike Week see http://daytonabeach.bikeweek.com/gallery.cfm/mode/browse/id/393

They are back all the eighteen of them, with so many experiences and that special feeling of freedom. After covering more then 12,800 km and conquering 8countries from Turkey to China in 53 days they are back after finishing their world tour. A daunting incredible journey which Helge Pedrsen, the leader of Globe Trotters Tours has been doing for the last 10 years, 4 times a year. This time they had to go thru a new route, The Silk Road. I hope one day I would afford to take so much days off to be able to do it. It's one of my dreams to be able to visit so many places in such an exotic way because it is such a exciting way to see the world in such a beautiful perspective. It's a challenge that I'll face one of these days...until that day I just watch the video and drool:) for more pictures and info about this specialist tour operator of holidays on two wheels just check the official site of GlobeRiders

A couple of days ago I was walking in a small garden. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her little daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon. All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I braced myself for some screaming and crying. But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she cheerfully shouted out, "Wow!" I didn't realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me something. Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with "Oh no, what should we do?" But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, "Wow, that's interesting! How can I help you?" One thing's for sure - life's always going to keep us off balance with its unexpected problems. That's a given. What's not predetermined is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fas

A turtle family went on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outings. Finally the Turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey they found it. For about six months they cleaned up the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left. Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years, Six years... Then in the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive. Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did

You were the I one to be proud every time the word comes out of my lips you were the one always beside me when I needed a friend.. weren’t you the one who gave the guidance to protect from this cruel world You gave me the warmth by holding me so tight saying that no one can take my breath away from me.. Mama you teached me the love and caring and you gave me the protection.. like the large trees cover up the little shrubs from the hot brightening sunfrom the heavy showering rain Who else?.. No one like the Mamas do
