toe in the water from Wincanton

Post by kch1 »

Returning to biking after a rather long hiatus - like 25+ years. Used to have CD200. Have finally got around to taking test and now have MT07 - bring on the mid life crisis - however weighing in at 50kgs I seem to part company at speeds over 55mph! Luckily am just not a speed freak or would be putting weights down the trousers. Still getting used to bike - where did the confidence of being 17 go??? Kathy

Beast of a bike you have there. Hope you enjoy it (Velcro pads on the tank will hold you in place).

Pies, chips and ice-cream will help.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Don't think I've EVER been 54 kg.

Remember being 65 kg at school (before kg existed !)

Thx, getting out most evenings for a quick spin to get miles under the belt. Love the MT, so light.
