missing my bike :(

The weather's lovely, the roads are good,and I'm missing my bike (or any bike come to that).

Maybe it's because I don't have any wheels at all now, but there's a big empty hole there.

Some herbert came hooning past me on a lovely K5 with a fruity can today. That was me, that was. Damn, that hurts.

remember several of us have offered our rear seats should you require a blast

its not the same but I'm sure we can make it entertaining

If I had a rear seat, it'd be all yours.

Thanks guys. I'll definitely aim for a weekend in Scotland over the summer. I've aready worked out how I can fly up in full kit, stick my lid in the overhead locker, and get picked up straight from the airport.

As for Chelmsford.......having spent the first 18 years of my life planning my escape fromthe place, maybe you want to come over this way!

What you need is a comfy chair or hammock out in the garden and a personal stereo.

Oh yeah, and someone to have been out on a nice long blast on their bike with an MP3 player or something set to record.

Sit back in the sun, relax, close you eyes and listen to the ride - if you've a good imagination it'll soon turn into your favourite roads - or even your dream ride out, only in stereo.

Yup i know this feeling too coolgirl. Although my lack of wheels is for something entirely different than yours and the other persons posts, i still feel the same.

Where i live i can hear them on the ringroad, winding up through the gears then braking hard for the next one etc.

Its painful, t'really is. Been on the back of a friends bike, but it just isnt the same. Perhaps we should form a club, ex-bikers club or something?

Yes, but not for the foreseeable future - alas i have only myself to blame for this. In a sense this makes it even worse. A feeling of letting ones-self down.

I get my license back in January 2008, but the insurance costs are going to be ridiculous.

My friend who works in motor insurance underwriting at Norwich Union recons that before i can get a "reasonable" quote, i should give it 5-10 years minimum, perhaps even more.

Sorry sure it's been mentioned before. What did yu get banned for?
