OOoooohh, I've missed that!!

Due to recurrant babies, I haven't been out on the bike for TWO YEARS. That actually shocks me, that it sat in the garage for such a long time (then I remember a friends wife, who passed her test, he bought her a 500cc bike, she rode it once and it sat for 5 years before he sold it to finance a new bike of his own - some people are born pillions)

ANYWAY..

Well chuffed that it ran like a beauty, and although my riding was a bit raggy for the first half a mile, it all came back. I hadn't FORGOTTEN how much fun it is, but I had maybe forgotten. Come back buzzing and with a big smile. Can't wait for the next time

Jesus, I break out in a rash when I don't ride for more than a day.

3 kids means I don't get out much (with or without my bike!) but it makes the times I do get out a bit more special!

Glad you enjoyed yourself...

The weather is excellent at the moment, get yourself out again

I just have to make time for it. By the time the kids are in bed, it just seems like too much hassle, but really it isn't.

If I just get on with it I can get into the leathers, bike unlocked and ready to go in 15 minutes. That is plenty of time to go for an hour's blast, lock up again, changed and back on the sofa for 9.30pm. I just need to stop faffing about!!

Busy mum takes Lap record Shocker!

Brilliant that you can find the time WG - that bike will keep you sane from the nutters that are kids (i got four -youngest 11) and now have more time to ride from fatherly duties, taxi service etc etc

Keep on riding
