Woke up early last Sunday about 0530, checked outside and it was starting to shape up to be a great clear nearly end of winters day. My plan was to not wake any of the family while I stumbled about the kitchen, write a quick note to say gone for early morning ride and then push bike to end of block. So far so good (well at least I had a plan).
Delay no. 1: Wife stumbled out with 5 week old and said your turn, handed me said hungry baby and went back to bed. Twenty minutes later and baby back in bed.
Delay no. 2: I find bike in garage with not one but two cars blocking getaway, not to mention 3 pushbikes in various positions that have left reminders on both my calf muscles.
Just begining to think maybe a day at home doing long forgotten chores would be easier.
Determination won and 10 minutes later I am hauling down the state highway on the way to brother in laws (if i am to be in the sh*** I don't want to be alone) to convince him that it is a great day to find some twisties and have a bit of a play.
Did I say convince brother in law??? He has just bought a little fire cracker vtz 250 so did not need any excuses.
What a great day. Three hours of twisties of all descriptions on the way there and 3 hours back. Not a breath of wind for the entire trip. Only saw half a dozen other vehicles on the roads. The day warmed up to a point where I nearly zipped out the thermal liner (not quite). Both bikes performed extemely well (my 05 B12 returned 39.1 mpg / 16.3km/ lt .
I just did not want the day to end.
I hope I can have a repeat performance sometime soon. I am sure that it is possible as soon as I am no longer grounded until petrol is free.
