Riding 10 miles down a narrow single track road with blind corners, a steep unprotected drop off to one side (to a river), potholes, twigs on the road, covered in mud, marbles and debris, branches sticking out at helmet height... and loving every second of it!!
Nearest I have been to green-laning on my Harley... so far!
(...and getting home before the rain/snow shower really came on heavy)
weve got sunshine and im getting ready to go on slow riding course, how many times do you all reckon im gonna fall off . thank god for industrial crash bars!
Zero times JJ! You've got a great day for it too!
Enjoy yourself, sounds like a great thing to do...<insert jealous smily here>
Look forward to hearing how you got on. Have a bacon butty for me!
never fell of once on slow riding course, and met some of the local girlies so got someone to play with now ( checks watch wait and see how long it takes.......)
Everything! Pob all of a fluster on arrival! Playing with my tasselly shadow in the road... pretending to fly... doing my dog-with-head-out-of-window impression... hitting a bump on the A3, parting company with the bike and *really* flying, if only momentarily , subsequently getting a fit of the giggles... seeing all the scooter boys out... inhalation of mucho 2-stroke fumage... hitting 3 biker cafes in one day... meeting new people, re-meeting a nice lady I first met last year... window shopping for bikes and being pleasantly surprised at just how many of 'em I could actually get my leg over *ahem*... seeing some nice custom paint jobs on aforementioned scooters... giggling @ one baby-pink scooter slightly dead and lifted onto a trailer... wishing I'd had a long stick to poke into the spokes of the kids trying to "impress" by doing wheelies on their modern scooters - way to go lads... I'm sure that's the way to get shot of yer L-plates - stick to delivering pizzas! Erm... what else? Hot chocolate! X2.
Ah yes... Perhaps most importantly... Coming up with the notion that in fact it would make economic sense for me to invest in a 125 as many of the jobs available which I could do are north of the river... riding a bike to work would save me £3 a day in toll fees... therefore, financial viability studies mean that travelling by bike makes WAY more sense than travelling by car. QED. Genius!
