Well I can honestly say in the last few months I have not had the chance to really get a good run on the bike due to either work, weather or personal commitment. Well that all changed today and I now know what I have been missing so far this season.
Where I live in the UK is predominantly flat but it has some of the best twisty roads in the country (in my opinion) as well as some nice sweepers and straights. I found a small 30 mile circuit last year and havent really had much practise on it, I decided to go see how the roads were as its mostly farmers roads and they are normally full of shit off the back of the lorries.
Well i must say i still have a grin a mile wide I just did the circuit twice (once afer the other) and its probably one of the sweetest set of roads i have ever ridden for quick, slow, tight, wide, balls out riding and i didnt get higher than 4th (on the limit) when i got home i checked the tyres (like i always do) and whereas you cant normally get a good run on roads due to traffic i had 2 perfect runs with the result of my chicken strips almost gone (couple of mm left) which aint bad going.
I doubt i will get another good ride like that for a while due to work but that will keep me grinning for a while at least
Enjoy ya riding and stay safe.
