Isabella

An hour from my destination and The heavens open again. I deploy Elsa's electronically controlled wind shield to maximum increase my velocity a little. The lashing stops and it gets quiet. I close off the vents on my helmet. The pollen filters let the rain through. The anti misting is working. I'm wearing a space suit and I'm used to doing this. The God of Thunder knows me well. I think he likes to play with me when he gets bored, which is often.

Remember my flirtation with the Triumph Tiger 800? As you were. Sorry Elsa old girl. My head was turned by a younger flirtier model. I'm a guy. It happens. Now I remember which side my bread is buttered! The big halogen light array, profile and speed of the bike and no one is pulling out onto me. I drive an Autobahn bike for a reason. I do Autobahns in the rain. A lot! No more talk of new bikes. At least this trip anyway. Sorry gal.

Satnav Isabella informes me in Spanish that we are arriving. The rain is easing off a little, and Anders is already coming out to greet me for the weekend. Before I move on to the weekend, maybe I should introduce Isabella. It is not only Vatta that works magic. Last night playing around with the GPS I found a very curious setting under Tools. Apparently Jane was not allowing U turns. She prefered giving me gravel and dirt roads, bridle tracks or peoples back gardens!! I wasn't amused. How many times had this set up error scared the pants off me? Retribution? You bet. I speak Spanish and Isabella sounds sexy, hence Janes transformation. A me mai gusto mucho Isabella!

Question: How is Isobella going to cope with Swedish? I tried Satnav Ingrid before selecting Isabella. Ingrid confirmed what I already know. I can't understand Swedish. I need lessons to crack this charming language.
