Re-learning

Got out on Sunday.
Been riding all winter on the commute, but not really riding if you know what I mean.
Went over the Accrington by-pass to go up the M65 toward Colne.
On the roundabout it wasn't all flowing :cry: , until a little voice said," Look further round the bend".
Turned my head maybe an extra 10° and I felt my wrist drop, the throttle crack open, the lean increase and that satisfying "G" pushing me into the seat.
:twisted:

It's usually called paying more attention to the prevailing surroundings.

Hmmmm, went around the lovely bend back of our alongside Martin Mere on Wednesday, lovely swooping right hander with a good camber....... was in the Harley ffs and i had forgotten, rhs foot peg dug in to the ‘experimental road surface’ and out swung my back end.
A small shat in my pants and a lot less spirited riding to the Carousel.

I miss my sports bikes :,(

First ride of the season for me was on my old AJS for an MOT and a potter around. I really enjoyed it and stayed out longer than I had planned. 😁

When I took my SP-2 out the next week however, it was a different story. I really had to concentrate and think far ahead. I have definitely become rusty and will need a few more miles to get back the reactions etc. I also noticed some strange aches the next day 🙄

Or I could just be getting old ...... lol
