On one of our first dates, MIML™ took me for a ride on the back of his motorbike– and I loved it! I loved it so much that I ended up getting my (restricted) bike licence last December.

But I still don’t have a bike.

Last August, MIML™s overseas licence expired and when he tried to get a Queensland one he was told he had to sit the tests again. And in Queensland you have to have held a car licence for 12 months before you can have a motorbike licence. Now they were kind and said that MIML™ didn’t need to get his restricted licence first, but he did need to get his car licence. So he got his car licence last August (he has been driving for many years, don’t worry!) But it was only this last week he resat his bike test and passed with flying colours.

So today we went for a ride. I wore my new jacket, gloves and boots (ouch, my toes still hurt!) and we rode to Ellis Beach. A gorgeous sunny day and it was just lovely being back on a bike and snuggled up to my man!

When we arrived at Ellis Beach there were bikes everywhere. There are bike clubs that do regular rides to Port Douglas and it looked like today there was a Harley group. Around 40 bikes, riders and pillions pulled in and out whilst we were there.

And it made me think about what sort of Bikie Mole I want to be…

You see there were types. There were the young skinny ones that looked like they had to wear chunky boots to keep them anchored to the ground and stop them blowing off in the wind like some fish and chip wrapping. There were older skinny types too, mostly in fringed jackets. There were other older ones in tight jeans and t-shirts that emphasised ample bosoms.

The Harley riders were also of different genres, however they had common characteristics– they all wanted to show that their bike was loudest when taking off and moving up the gears.

I suppose I’m not really into leather and the fringed jacket does little for me. Likewise chunky heeled boots. My bosom isn’t that ample and my figure not that suited to anything tight…

So I will stick to being me! Jeans with my Air Flow BWM jacket, DOT helmet, black gloves and boots that will stretch a little and make more room for my toes!

And I won’t be an accessory for much longer. When we get back from our trip I am looking in earnest for a used 250cc bike. MIML™ and I can ride together. Well most of the time, because it is still awfully nice sitting on the back snuggling up to him as we cruise down the highway!
