Hans and his Shadow 1100!
"THE REDBIRD CHALLENGE"
Article and Pictures by Hans "TheRoad" Boender
Well, what can I say. For me it is not a challenge at all. I ride my bike all year long, everywhere I have to go such as shopping, work, on vacation. Everywhere. I ride my new Suzuki Intruder 1500 LC about 20000 miles a year. Only stop riding when they put that damned bike eating salt on the roads in wintertime. But I hope to have an old bike this year for riding in winter time. The last two winters I stopped for 3 weeks in row and that is not easy. Instead of riding the bike I cleaned it almost everyday and talked to it saying, "Soon I'll take my big mama out for a ride." (I know I am crazy, my wife says it too) Last July I went to the Frensch Alps for 3 weeks riding and camping. It was great! For me there is not a better thing to do than ride from camp-site to camp-site. When I like a place I stay there for a couple of days and then moving on to the next place.
Well bro
See you.............on the road
