Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta
 

My brother's girlfriend wanted to visit Gozo, Malta's sister island on her birthday. We said OK as long as we did this on our bikes...

An old lady came out from this normally quite alley plugging her ears and shouting, "You guys crazy?"

I went off to explore the area a bit by myself. Not really the roads for this sort of bike here mind.

Who said you need a BMW or KTM to explore the countryside

Thought we'd end this with a nice lunge

Looks a bit warmer there than here.

Watches snow falling outside----

Re: Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta
 

We actually made an effort to keep our jackets on Biggles

Re: Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta
 

love the pics..doesnt look like it has changed much. I see its a worldwide lunge :)

Re: Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta
 

When I told the guys about the lunge they just couldn't get it and did it reluctantly.

Good pics :p
I went to Gozo in 2000, fantastic place, along with Malta obviously :)
The roads look a little better quality than when i was there, some EU funding helped?

I also liked swimming in the Blue lagoon (cant remember if thats the proper name)

Re: Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta
 

Well there was some work done to the roads from EU funding yes... It's a small island but nice and quite. Great for a day or two. We didn't swim though as the sea was rough as you could see. People are still swimming here mind.

Great pics!
But so jealous of that weather.

Re: Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta

Re: Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta
