Saul Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I am working at Stratton Hospital in Bude tonight and thought it would be a great idea to take my bike and get my first ride of 2023 in. Not the smartest choice, nothing like doing 42 miles in the dark through thick fog to give you that wtf am I doing moment. Never made it above 40mph cause I couldn’t see a fecking thing. To be honest it would have been no better on 4 wheels but at least I would have had a heater and radio. At least it will be dry for the ride home tomorrow morning 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Will it do more than 40mph? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Sometimes you do have to wonder why you go to the extra effort of riding a motorcycle when during a trip you’re cold and uncomfortable and looking at people inside cozy warm dry cars enjoying having their feet not freezing. I don’t mind that on a trip but I wouldn’t go to work 42 miles in thick freezing fogglike you do, you clearly enjoy motorcycling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 I must admit I did question the logic of taking my bike last night. Mind you in an hours time I get to ride down the A39 home which is well known as a great biking road and I am looking forward to it. Great end to the shift, with a warm bed as the goal. I might even reach the giddy of heights of 41 mph if the wind is behind me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Well that was a foggy, wet and windy disappointment. Did manage 60 mph though, warp speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
