How you going hun? You getting more confident?
I had my hair done this morning when it was dry, put my leathers on and stepped outside and the rain came down and it hasn't stopped since.

My tax has run out on bike and I wasn`t gonna bother renewing it. However, the weather today is making me reconsider!

No leathers out,no bike riding this weekend,due to a flat back tyre which can't be sorted til monday:(.
was out yesterday.... all good but then it rained and i turned into a Tart.... cant seem to do it the same in the wet!
But just got back from some business now and waiting for dinner then i am off!!! However i will be alone as one biker mate has a christening and the other seem to have problems getting his bike to turn over ans has it stripped down..... GUTTED!

Was out early this morning,came back freezing but happy:D
It is sunny today. :sunny:
No point in getting my leathers out, ain't got a motorbike, or any mates to take me pillion. :cry:
Was going to go out on my mountain bike (not in full leathers!) but am feeling far too lazy.

i have sat on my ar5e all day.................... :smt015
My housemate is currently winding his way back from Brands Hatch on my SV, but I've been out and cleared my head by doing about 300 miles on my barely legal CBR600 trackbike today. I am shattered.
It's been perfect biking weather round here, and I now need new sliders.

Ahhh just got back in from a day out. Had a tootle with a buddy (and yes I have some too) and then went for a bimble by myself. Stopped at my brothers for a drink to cool down before I went off again, then home to wash Zuky.
Picked dog up from his nans and now time for tea and ironing ;(
Lovely weather, shame I was tired and didnt feel much like riding - plenty of coffee and a sing song along the way got me in the stride of it LOL
What a day.... 112 miles and managed to stop in at the tap for half an hour too.
Anyone else make it over there today??

Aww Paws big hugs hun. I felt odd on mine so I started singing to myself and felt better in no time, the medication kicked in then LOL
Honestly chick, we all have off days and don't feel right, then the next time is awesome. Don't feel too bad, when you next get on her you will have forgotten about today. You are doing brill !!

Funny I made Daz laff he had to follow me wiggling my head about whilst I was singing, was even tapping my boots on pegs at one stage (think he missed that).
Seriously hun I know how you are feeling, I am feeling the same. I still keep lookin at kerbs and fear right handers but then I think "snap out of it". I go home put the bike away and try another day.
At the end of the day the bike is there to enjoy, if you are not enjoying it then put it away for another day, because you know there will be a day when she makes you smile ... :)

Yeyyyy nice bike tooo woo hoo

Paws, there are good days and bad days - Some days I go out with the intention of having a great ride, but something dosnt feel right, and the bike just dosnt seem to work well with me.
You might have been a bit tired, a bit tense, maybe the tyres where a bit under-inflated (sometimes when I'm out, and the bike feels wrong, I check the presures...a few more PSI later and the bike feels less heavy and more fun), whatever. It happens
Me and maria had a good ride back from brighton yesterday, scrubbed in new rear tyre and laughed alot a the trikes and harleys we passed (all doing no more than 60 mph on a 70 mph NSL road). Also got the life scared out of me by two guys thrashing past at full throttle on an R1 and a GSXR

yea Ive had these feelings too, you force yourself out on the bike because its sunny and you think you should go a ride but your hearts not in it :( now i am finding I'm riding in the sh#t weather going nowhere in particular and i freeekin love it? yes i am weird lol, my riding has changed alot, this time last year if there was a cloud in the sky i wouldn't go out? I'm also not as anal cleaning the bike anymore, i look after it but i am now riding alot more than i used to.
