who has been out, we got let out of the cage this week, we are allowed to travel and meet up with a few people outside our own household .
so the last two days iv taken my chance to get out,
so me and the wee lady went for an icecream for her birthday on the ape.
i also fitted a new rear trye, fiddled with suspension buttons on the new blue one, transformed the bike and its going great and super comfy with the bars fitted
and today took myself away on dori, empty dry sticky coast road, was just nice to get out
takes a bit of getting the old body back into bike fit shape. one gives me a sore ass, one gives me sore everything and surprised that the new blue one is actually by far the most comfy

Re: post covid rides?
Didn't get far on mine. Managed to pick up a puncture within 20minutes.
Plugged it at the side of the road, rode for another twenty minutes and it had gone down again! The sticky worm type pluge had worked it's way back out!!! Replugged it again and went home
Epic fail

Re: post covid rides?
Just pumped up the tires and went for first quick ride since March. Realised half way that the reason my hands were cooking was that my heated grips were on from last time I rode doh!
Feeling a whole lot more human now though.

Re: post covid rides?
What a great thread fabiostar
And nice pics everyone
I went for a ride on the backroads today with a mate on a ZX9R. We have been riding together for a couple of hundred years - more or less - and our stories from the good old days seem to get better and better

Bad choices make good stories
Re: post covid rides?
Yep, and the lap times and elapsed quarters get shorter about a second every ten years...
Well, you can get away with it; there's less witnesses of the original deed left to call you a liar.
And if they do, it's dementia settling in!

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Did a bit of a trip out from Gloucester to almost Hay on Wye, then to Hereford, Ledbury and home.
