Sunday ride to Gozo, Malta - SV650.org

30-11-10, 02:58 PM

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...

From left to right... Elaine, Susan, Rita, Kizzy and Simon (he just has to sneak his mug in doesn't he?)

Discovery Channel declares this to be the best motorcycle ever. Mark contemplates an exchange with his Harley 883

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

Street Hawk rides pillion

On our way to lunch...

Loads of character houses and little churches in Gozo

Yes, it was really windy! Didn't stop us enjoying ourselves though.

Xlendi Bay.

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

Four different brands, four different colours

No difficulty in finding places to eat here

The girls relax a bit by a natural pond named, Ghadira San Raflu

Thought we'd end this with a nice lunge

Looks a bit warmer there than here.

Watches snow falling outside----

We actually made an effort to keep our jackets on Biggles

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

30-11-10, 03:45 PM

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

Good pics

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)

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.
