Well, my 3 year sojourn in Cyprus has finally come to an end and it's time for me and my Silver Lady to return back home to the U.K.

I'm going to miss the lovely warm Mediterranean climate, but I'm also looking forward to be back with family and friends.

Knowing that one day we would be returning, I kept the shipping crate that was used to ship my GTS from the U.K back in 2018. As can be seen from the pictures, I made the most of the ample room available and carefully packed items in and around the scooter.

I am not sure what the final weight of the crate was, but the 1 ton tail-lift on the truck struggled to go up!!

As one chapter ends, another one begins...... Scooter emoticon

Welcome back both!

Quite like the idea of retiring to Northern Cyprus sometime!

It's supposed to have the most scenic coastline, I should have spent more time exploring it.

Malta or southern Italy are good alternatives if you like warm weather.

Am I seeing a meet up at some point in the future Andrew? Love the look of your bike by the way. The 'Touring' always has attracted me. Anyhoo, good luck with your return to home. At the moment we are basking in a massive heat wave here in East Anglia. Lovely!

Thanks Ian, yeah it would be good to meet up one day. If I lived closer to you, you'd be my chosen mechanic.

I just found out today that there is a 3 week delay to my shipment, so I'm not going to be back on 2 wheels again until at least the end of July

That is a super cool Cyprus sun tan. The scooter is a beauty.
