    Back on the bike again!

    After a few months of recovering from a knee reconstruction, this weekend I was finally able to bend my knee enough to ride my RC30 and, with the cool weather on Saturday, had a great ride out to the hills for a Devonshire Tea with the wife.

    I forgot how much fun my bike is to ride!

    No action shots (gotta get a GoPro camera!) but, if I say so myself, I think my bike looks good even standing still. (and Lolly's S1000RR isn't too bad either! )

    Good to hear you're back on the bike and enjoying it! Took me a month to get back on after my last crash. Same as you, as soon as I was able to bend the knee I was away! Bike does look great, very tidy

    Well done mate, I know the knee is frustrating you and not riding wouldn't have helped.

    Next time I see you at Bayswater Martial Arts & Fitness, I want to talk to you about off road riding

    NB, when is lazy lolly going away and the active lolly that we're used to returning for FF ?
    It's better to be thought stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt

    Pure speed in sixth gear on a 5,000 foot straightaway is one thing, but pure speed in third gear on a gravel-strewn, downhill, ess turn is quite another.

    This department requires no physical fitness program, as everyone gets more than enough exercise jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, running down the boss, dodging responsibility, and pushing their luck.

    I certainly hope so. Last year was a bad one for our recreational pursuits due to the pressures of business, work, building a house, etc. - not least of which was the fact I busted my knee (in a dirt bike accident) fairly early on in March. This year - the Year of the Dragon - we are hoping will be a good one!
