First ride out of 2012

[100milesaway]

I got up at first light to have a look,and the hills across from my mansion were covered in snow :o, so back to bed for me. I'm now sat writing this and its throwing it down, but with the . most amazing rainbow thrown in. Ah well I think I will busy myself cleaning and feeding my leathers :) :)

Just got back from a walk with the dogs. Hasn't snowed since I spoke with you. Brisk but bright and sunny over here too.  >:(

I'm grumpy now cause I've been looking forward to getting out on the bike for days to distract me from my forthcoming boring period at work.... >:(

Well did mine today. Bootiful bright sunny day, went this morning before the wind arrived. Clean dry roads, v few cages, so perfect. I did one of those rides where I had no idea where I was going  :D
Happened upon a couple roads that I didn't know and thought - well, lets see where they come out. One really nice stretch of v wide single carriageway with a line of cars ahead. needless to say, blasted past them without batting an eyelid, superb. Only minor downside, on me todd, and then when I stopped for a coffee three sports bikes riders arrived. We just happened to leave at the same time - miserable bleeders they were, not so much a smile, a nod or a hello. Oh well never mind, I am pretty sure they were jealous, as well as damn ugly and smelly  ;D  ;D  ;D

now and again, use to get the cold shoulder when I had my kawasaki vn1600 cruiser. funny really! I would go for a ride to the ponderosa northwales on my zzr1400 or the zx636 I had, and allways got talking or other bikers used to let on. but when on the cruiser. well" I might as well been in the car. may be supersport riders consider tourers and cruisers to be un 8) well have got new's for them :P they don't know what there missing with the gtr1400 :) ;)

We've currently got logs on for severe winds etc but according to the experts it's supposed to be ok this weekend, don't know who to believe now!! ???

I for one will still be sitting on the bike, in a warm garage, making vroom noises untill spring! :P

Take 2! I'm going to have another stab at this tomorrow, or today as it is now. Weather is supposed to be good out on the east coast. Oh and my Dad's asked me to pick him up a crab on my travels, should be interesting.  ::)
