What have you done to your bike today?

[hellkat]

Taxed it.

I got word that ye olde ancient Sportster is finally ready to come out of the shop and Christ only knows how much of a bill that's run up.

But I taxed it anyway and am looking forward to having it back.

Might get my nerve back again, but not really for around town any more, I don't think.
Certainly not dragging its arse back and forth across town to Chelsea like I used to. Specially not with winter looming.

So yeah, just short trips.
Home to Ace Caff on a sunny morning with no black ice, maybe the odd Harley night at the end of a month if I'm working from home - or Home to Bike Shed MC for a bit of posing and a fry-up.

Rode up to Whitby from Lincolnshire for fish n chips.

Stayed at the youth hostel next to the abbey, had a nice full english brekkie and then rode home via pickering.

Went out for a ride to some usual places that were all closed. Looked on Apple Maps & picked a random close cafe.. and a found a gem.

Bee Jays cafe Rotherham. S60 2XQ (Wickes car park)

Stewed steak, chips, onions & mushy peas & a brew for £7.40.

The place had a non stop queue for the hour that I was there.

Took it out for a ride for the first time in probably 18 months.
Lost my nerve? Like fuck I did, LOL

Great. Caned it down to Wiltshire and it bombed along fantastically.
Am dead chuffed.
First gear/neutral is a bit stiff but I am sure it will improve with use.

Admittedly it will be seeing out the winter in a nice cosy garage with a blanket - started up now and then to ensure battery life. But on a nice day I will be getting it out and pootling about whenever possible. It will be safe and warm while I am slumming it in Australia
