Default Jedi powers!

Its taken 6 months but I guess nearly 3 months were snowbound. My Jedi powers on the bike are returning. Closed the laptop at about 4pm, and went for a blast. The first 20 mins were awful - poor 'progress,' hitting the apex too early and having to stand the bike up then dip back into the corner .

The last hour was awesome...... ssshhhhhh, don't say anything about speed

Cornering, overtaking including timing when there is a stream of traffic coming the other way, braking and tipping into corners ------ yeeeeehhhhhh

The new tyres are now well scrubbed in.

Oooooohhhh, qui qui Churchie!

Sorry guys but after 4.5 years of hell I am just mega chuffed

Well done Bri !

Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you are finally back on your top game again after not being able to ride for a while.

May the force be with you!
