Sounds like you'll either be under the roses or if she has a good sense of humour you may be on level 4. Level 1 being breakie in bed.      :thumbs

OOPS! 31st August not 13th...  Four weeks and counting down!

How are you going with getting Teela to get her Learners license "in case something comes up one day while we're out"?

At my age you realise something very important, then ten minutes later you've forgotten it.

Decided to leave it alone, and have the learner question book ready for Sunday after the party and take her Monday morning to get it before her lesson  :hatwave

Dunno about you Leo, but I found climbing off the 1300 and then wheeling that around was like pushing a bicycle.  There's not much of it.

Have to say I had a blast in traffic today, got the revs up around 7k and just had fun, reminded me of when I was learning to ride!

The guys in bike shops amaze me.  They push around Boulevardes and Goldwings like they are bicycles.  I can manage the the push required OK, but I live in dread of losing the balance and having the 1300 tip away or onto me.

Push your bike around from opposite the side stand with it down, hence if you loose it back on to the stand

now back to the surprise bike
I am lost and haves gone to find myself
Now If I get back before I return
Please ask me to wait.

Next part of the Plan!

Teela has a new motorcycle Jacket (from Zen Motorcycle Gear Thank you!), going to work nicely with the Purple Present! Side note this is the smallest jacket she has ever owned...
