    I can stand it no more !!!

    After being at Piel this weekend and seeing everyone have such a great time on the bikes I went out today first time since my op on the 3rd March

    After the usual checks tye pressures oil lights horn off I set

    1st stop was Millenium Motorcycles in St Helens they have a Vara for sale after a good laugh at the money they want for me to swap I left

    I then headed in to deepest Cheshire and a stop at a Cafe in Beeston

    Then up to Beeston Castle



    This is only the gatehouse the main Castle is a good walk up the hill, not quite ready for that yet

    Then Peckforton Castle only a mile away from Beeston and a rather posh Hotel



    Then I found a little lane







    Got steep in places



    Then headed home via Oulton Park



    There was a track day on




    All in all about 100 miles and felt great

    So good to ride again I have really missed it and although I have had thoughts of changing to a Vara my Transalp gives me everything I need Love it

    That bike looks far too clean. Let me have a shot and I'll make it a little muddy

    Still on Paracetamol, Diclofenac, and Dihydracodine the last only before bed now, Trying to get off them all TBH but my ribs still hurt at times and I wouldnt like to try and pick the bike up

    But when I smile as wide as I did today the only pain was in my Jaw

    watch that dihydrocodeine stuff - lady at work got into right state after getting addicted to them. Still is in a right state actually.

    Nice to see you at the weekend and looking good so soon after a major op too.
