We set out to do just one hour or two, but ended up driving for six hours 😅.
.
We went to the abandoned village of Doel, a small village that was supposed to be demolished because of the expansion of the nuclear power plant nearby. Those plans never came in effect, but today the village is almost empty.
.
Houses are barricaded, walls painted with graffiti and streets filled with people, like us, wanting to see the sights and have a photoshoot or two 😉

Today, I mounted the GPS, with a little help from my friend 😉. He is a mechanic in heart and soul, so it would be a shame not to learn from him as much as I can! Never knew the inner works of my sweet and fierce Rebel looked so ingenious. Japanese design, you've gotta love it!

I bought her on the 12th of May, got my license plate on the 20th. Only 8 days later I reached the first 1000 kilometers with the Rebel...
.
I absolutely love how she handles and glides trough the corners. Whenever it feels wonky, it's not her, it's me. Learning to trust her and the road, trying to look further and further down the curves and most importantly growing into NOT thinking. Whenever I start thinking about "the perfect cornering line" (spoiler: there is no such thing) I mess up.
.
She feels almost as easy as a Vespa but whenever the road gets bendy she tells me: "hey you, I am a Rebel and I'll teach you how Rebels do it!!".
.
So far, I am absolutely over the moon & proud with the progress I made so far. The Vespa experience is certainly paying of now!

Natte voeten, ikke? Nee, hoor... . Als je goed kij

Natte voeten, ikke? Nee, hoor...
.
Als je goed kijkt, zie je dat mijn broek doorweekt is tot aan mijn knieën, en dat zonder één druppel regen gezien te hebben... 🤪.
.
Een nat wegdek, een half uur autostrade en een te eenvoudig (maar wel protective) jeanske (@bull_itjeans) zorgden ervoor dat ik vier uur met kletsnatte voeten verder moest 😅. Be-re-koud. .
De Rebel hield gelukkig mijn scheenbenen wel warm en eens we de bochtjes door de Ardennen namen, ontdooide ook de rest van mijn lijf.
.
Moraal van het verhaal: investeer in goede kledij. Mijn wishlist is iig weer aangevuld 😬.

Mijn eerste solo-flight met de Rebel ❤️, zo'n 60 kilometer in en om Hasselt. Het voelde eerst best wel eng om zonder babbelende Bert en zijn geruststellende woorden in mijn oren de baan op te gaan.
.
Wij rijden immers al 7 jaar samen, en kletsen / vloeken / lachen / ruziën heel wat af tijdens onze ritten. 😅
.
Dat deed ik nu vandaag helemaal alleen en OMG, it was so much fun. Ik was helemaal opgeladen toen ik terug thuis kwam, en het beste moest toen nog komen: het eten stond gereed. Zalig om de gender roles te doorbreken 😬.
.
Het was mijn doel om deze maand 500 kilometer te rijden. Na de rit die we morgen gaan doen, zal ik aan 800km zitten... Not too shabby, op 5 dagen tijd. 😊

Out with the big bikes today!
.
It's only my second day on the Honda Rebel but it feels like we've known each other for aaaaages. I love how she handles and helps me whenever I make a mistake 😅. It seems like she can do it on her own, but together we can accomplish so much more 😬. This is the start of a damn fine sistership 😬.

Blessed in so many ways... Healthy. Loved. Free. Empowered. Safe. Grateful.

I lit a candle for many safe kilometers for me and everyone I love.
