GSA Blues
by Richard McGill
There will come a time in each of our lives when we need to make changes due to old age or reduced capabilities. Here is an ode to a greatly-missed motorcycle
There’s a space inside my garage
my best friend now has gone
We parted with great sorrow
my life is now forlorn
We shared many adventures
through sun and wind and rain
From Bristol to Santander
we’ll never ride again
It’s my sad and lonely
so regretful, ever tearful
GS Adventure blues
A clean and polish shone her
the photos did her proud
MoT and service, our time together cowed
With heavy heart the advert
my gem amongst the rest
Too soon a call came in
next day she’s going West
It’s my sad and lonely
so regretful, ever tearful
GS Adventure blues
I remember so many
so very many rides
Through road and lane and track
each journey more besides
To seaside and the country
with others in a pack
Or simply with my lovely
to paradise and back
A golden time remembered
often fast, never slow
With joy and gratitude
always special afterglow
There’s a space inside my garage
my best friend now has gone
We parted with great sorrow
my life is now forlorn
We shared many adventures
through sun and wind and rain
From Bristol to Saint Malo
we’ll never ride again
It’s my sad and lonely, so regretful
ever tearful GS Adventure blues
