There's nothing quite like a few weeks off the bike to make you appreciate just how well they go. Before Christmas I hadn't ridden for about 7 weeks, and I had the same experience as you: what an absolutely joy.

When I opened it up on the local 'mad mile' on my way home I was really quite surprised at how quickly I got into 3 figures with just a snap of the wrist in 6th: no need to row through the gears, the engine snarls and pulls like a greyhound after a rabbit. SVs have soul.
