It is also a tale of courage and triumph over adversity as, following illness when it appeared that the freedom of biking days was over, they made mental and practical adaptations in order to continue what they could while they could and then they would not say 'if only ...'The adventures start when Ned wanted something to tinker with after a number of years bike-less. Rosie pleaded: "If we buy a scooter will you travel? Will you brave the ferry? Will you? Can we? ... and bought a Honda 1100cc.They planned to visit Ireland to find Rosie's roots on what was a profound emotional tale of discovery. However, fate took a hand and Rosie discovered a Honda Gold Wing sitting in a showroom waiting for them. Ned thought he had died and gone to heaven and they sailed off to Ireland two weeks later on what was to become known as Ned's 'baby.Rosie pokes fun at herself as they go coast to coast in France and Spain; cross the French and Swiss Alps; follow the Champagne Route; ride through the sun scorched earth of the Sierras and torrential thunderstorms in the Andorran mountains, praying for safety as they ride into the unknown, ride in the intense heat into the Dolomites. Follow the spills and thrills as they Wing it their way, on their own-Just Us Two. And why can't Rosie afford any more shoes?You must read this story to appreciate the diversity and colour of the travels of Ned and Rosie. The sequel and the real ending to Rosie's Gold Wing Story is Chasing Rainbows with Just Us Two, which was published in May 2011.

Recenzii

Editorial reviews A good read, it sometimes felt that you were actually there with them. A \'light\' book and very easy to read. Inspiration for us all to motorcycle touring overseas. Editor motorbike-search-engine.15th May 2009. "This new book by Rosalie Marsh is a heartwarming tale of two Born-Again Bikers and their adventures on their Gold Wing bike and then trike. It is a great read that will make you smile and nod your head in appreciation and might even inspire you to get out there and do a bit of travelling yourself!" Editor Trike Magazine Issue 04 09 What readers say: 'Not just for bikers!' 'Rosalie's passion for travel, adventure, and living life to the full comes across so beautifully in her narrative and her book Just Us Two which I highly recommend. Rosalie's thirst for knowledge and personal development has driven her to write and share her wonderful experiences - a true inspiration to me and I believe to anyone who aspires to live life without "if onlys"...' Chrisoula Sirigou, ExploramaEU via LinkedIn Just finished reading 'Just Us Two' by Rosalie Marsh. Rosalie's description of the countryside made be feel I on was on the motorbike, wind blowing through my hair and sun on my face. A book I will read again, and maybe again. Jean Mead, Author. Amazon. 'A celebration of life.' CalonFM.2009 Judith Sharman, Owner Well Tree Learning, Presenter, Consultant & Coach of the Nurturing Way, Well Tree Learning Ltd "...not only a gifted author who can bring her travel books alive, enticing the reader to visit the places she writes about. She has a wonderful sense of the ridiculous and her style as raconteur means that the reader feel she is talking personally, wryly smiling as the two of you sip wine in front of a winter fire!" October 7, 2011 via LinkedIn. Hi Rosalie. My wife June and I have just returned having spent the weekend in Menorca. My reading material was your lovely book. I really enjoyed reading it and it brought to life places we visited on our Wing in 2007. Thanks for taking the time to put this all together. I finished reading your book on our return flight today high above the Pyranees. I have to say I found the ending a little touching and I had to look out of the window as I suddenly got something in my eye. Cant wait to see the video. All the best and Thanks again for sharing. Paul Mann Leeds via Amazon. Dreams Do Come True I have read this book and totally get it. Thoroughly enjoyed it and found it completely absorbing. Helen Appleby Lancashire via Amazon.
