Mmmmm breaking the sound of silence.
« on: March 06, 2017, 05:50:34 pm »
As many of you know I had a stroke at Xmas and now two and a half months later I feel ready to ride at the end of the month. :)  I uncovered the K, inserted the key and pushed the button,  started first time and sounded great. It's my fist injected bike and it makes all the difference when its been sat a few months. Booked a bike safe course for me, my brother on a S1000rr and my son on his soon to be 125. Hopefully will see some of you guys for a ride out and a coffee.

Welcome news all round Dave.

Make sure you take plenty of 'tolerance' tablets to the Bike Safe day, although great events they can lay it on a little thick at times.

Did one a few years ago and I think I must have had a rogue cop. 120 mph on the M4  ;D . Excellent day out and no preaching.

Excellent news, good to hear you're back in your feet and ready to ride your beauty. 
Feeling obliged to congratulate you on your desicion to go on  a course before riding just to remember the basics, we all need to do so after ,for any reason, we are forced to stay away fm riding. Wish here we had that same attitude,  but we learn.
