Just Us Two: Ned and Rosie's Gold Wing Discovery is not just for bikers but for travellers and dreamers alike. Award-winning Just Us Two-Ned and Rosie's Gold Wing Discovery is an exhilarating romp through ten happy Gold Wing years of discovery and adventure and fun as a quiet middle-aged couple, who had never crossed the water to tour before, journey into the unknown into far flung corners of Western Europe with only each other to rely on. 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 ...’

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.

A Gifted Author

Just Us Two Ned and Rosie's Gold Wing Discovery
“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!” Judith Sharman October 7, 2011 LinkedIn.

This review is from: Just Us Two: Ned and Rosie's Gold Wing Discovery (Paperback)
"Hi Rosalie. I have seen other reviews of this book in particular by.... Sadly the poor gentleman does not understand the freedom of riding a motorcycle or indeed the luxury of riding a Gold Wing. Its a very sad and vindictive review of a journal of a couple clearly at one with each other. 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 Pyrenees. 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. Can't wait to see the video. All the best and thanks again for sharing."
