first ride of the year - sadlonelygit - 01-02-13
.................not that you sick puppies!
fazer came out to play as we had had at least 5 hours without rain. 1/2 an hour on the fazer after a winter driving coaches really changes your perception of closing speeds :lol
are we going to B-o-t-W again?

This has got to be one of the few countries where it can be 13 degrees in January and 13 degrees in June. It's been a cracking week for riding. I was hurling the ol' Fazer around like it was an August bank holiday yesterday. Great fun.
I see the weather for next week is forecast to be dire, though.
That's the only difference between January and June in Britain. It might be 13 on one day in January, but it could be -4 the next. Less likely in June, but not impossible.

Went out yesterday for first time in 3 months-main roads damp,country roads wet from water running off fields, pot holes from water &frost damage etc BUT when I opened the taps I remembered what it is that keeps me addicted! :lol and ofcourse that lovely sensation of being part of the scenery rather than watching a film(cage driving). Washed the salt/crap off on return 7 she looks good as new!

nice post. the throttle twist and merging of u and the scenery is EXACTLY what its all about mate. i get the same feeling too. any drama or adversity and i just twist away and find myself suddenly devoid of anything other than a thirst for life. WICKED!! :thumbup
