Warm and sunny. For a biker, those three words are heaven sent. They are up there with 'I love you' and 'would you like a cup of tea?' Despite being 'chilly' overnight with a bit of fog in the mornings, this week has seen the weather turn decidedly lovely, which has given me a real chance to actually ride the big bike following the Desmo service at the start of February. The bike feels smoother and incredibly responsive on the throttle and although the slow speed stuff is still a strain on the left wrist, when getting a wriggle on, it feels brand new.
As part of my New Years promise to myself was to ride more, this weekend will see me riding the 1098 over to France for the day, which will also mark the first part in my preparations for my July trip to Italy. As I've never been, I'm really looking forward to it. I mentioned this to my love and she couldn't quite believe that I've never been across the Channel. So despite popping over the Canaries a few times over the years, this will be the first time my humble feet would have stood on mainland European soil. Just hope Europe is really for my size 11s.
