Default A totally pointless thread but i just have to say it

I love riding my sv in this warm weather i ride all year long but it is just such a great feeling having a warm day not hot but just right to go ridding and taken a passenger along for the fun of it and hitting the back roads you can't beat feeling i didn't want to come back. I know you guys feel the same way but i just had to state the obvious.

Indeed, however you do have one advantage on us, jump on the bike (well used to) and just ride, no matter which direction, within 8 hours I'll hit the sea and have to head back, I guess one of the very few regrets I have is not riding across a great land mass, still not to later I hope maybe one day who knows.

Cheers Mark.

I guess you could always just ride round and round the coast! I mean - it seems to be entertaining enough on the Isle of Man.

In my case, if I ride one direction, I'm swimming in under 10mins. Another direction, half an hour. Pick another direction, 45mins.

I have to be pretty careful which way I ride just to stay on dry land but when the summer time is here, man do I love living by the sea

I know what you mean. Yesterday was a blissfill day. I was outside with my hoe (doing some gardening) lastnight listening to the crys of the IL4s calling in the distance. It's usually very quiet out my way but the call of the road was strong last night. Roll on summer!
