That sounds very complicated, do you really have to wear specific clothing standing in a plastic box with a motorbike when being spanked?
That must cost a fair bit extra, you wealthy perv!
Ha, I can't even afford any of the afore-mentioned strokers Tony :roll:

I always prefer to keep myself clean, so a shower before getting your leathers on feels like a good idea.
But each to their own, I suppose.
Does she like you all sweaty?

Chris i tried one and hated it, i didn't think i would but it is so small , very fast but hard to turn once your leant over. Smooth though but too small.

had a lovely ride today. started at 8am, it was still a tad chilly, but sod it, I set off for the coast. once there I chilled out and took a few pics.
then I headed back through the mountains to Gandesa. a quick splash n dash at the petrol stn and it was off to Mequinenza via Caspe. once there I stopped for a coffee overlooking the river.
then a spirited ride home. although I did stop at my local petrol stn to wash the bike and have another coffee with a birthday custard filled donut... :thumbup:
