Hey All.
Well after God knows how long away I am back. What with injuries, home issues and a variety of soul sucking crap I am glad to say that I am retired(early) and happy.
I took the bike out for a trip the other day. Two days up to the Gold Coast in Queensland for a bit of winter sun and see the wife. (long story, but not a bad one)
So I pack up and off I go.
60kms into the trip(about 30 miles?) I was freezing and miserable. I pulled over and and hopped off and walked around. I just sat there on the side of the road and wondered if this was the end I wanted to turn around and go home. I seriously thought about selling the bike and just giving up. But I thought about it and made myself get on the bike and keep going. I thought about all the people here and the great stories I have read over the years and got on and went. Two days later I pulled into the motel and was reborn. A few days later,I was so reborn I made the trip back in one hit. Ten hours later I was exhausted , my hands were frozen and I was on top of the world. I have had this bike for nearly 16 years and it is the best I have ever had. So thank heaven for for a soul saving BA. And all the boys and girls here who feel the same.
