Blew the Cobwebs Off

#1 Post by DavShill » Tue Dec 24, 2013 3:18 pm

Been a tough couple of weeks at work and now got 6 days off. Weather is really bright and sunny here, so put my thermals and leathers on and just been for a ride . Been out for an hour and a half and it was bliss. Roads dry, no salt, clear blue sky and the Falco running beautifully.

Just got back as I was just beginning to get too cold and feel thoroughly refreshed and relaxed. I love motorcycling!

Happy Christmas everyone.

Excellent! Wish I'd done that instead of burning the mince pies and dropping things..............

Great one Dave. I can't believe how nice it has been today. Well apart from the wind of course.

Sounds nice Dave, I've not been out for a while in any way really.
Wish I had, but been a bit busy in other ways.

You were lucky. Took the bike outto go down to the gym, and it was raining heavily and blowing hard but it was at leasr 5C. Still better than taking the car.
