Back in the saddle
« on: November 16, 2012, 09:39:26 AM »
Well,

It's now 2 weeks since I first hopped onto the 2003 ST1100PY.
I've just clocked up my first 2,000km of riding following a 15 year absence.

I'm starting to get a lot more comfortable with myself and the bike as a couple following a nervous start to the relationship.

Riding to work (128km) every day is helping but I feel it wouldn't hurt to attend an advanced riding course or 2, just found a couple down here so I'll sign up for a "refresher". Would love to put the ST through the slalom runs, race track, emergency breaking, corner work etc.

Out of interest to some I just found pictures of every bike I've built/owned last night, I completely forgot about the old hard-tail chopper 750/4. Will scan them and post them each with a little story.
Honda CT200P
Honda CB250T
Honda CB250N
Honda CB400N
Honda CB750 4 (hard tail chopper with leather king queen seat)
Honda CX500
Honda CB900 Bol d'Or
Honda CBR600
Honda ST1100PY

Together Each Achieve More

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
