Like bicycles there's a lot of prejudice against motorcycles but treated with respect and ridden responsibly they're a beautiful and safe way to travel...

It's 8 years since we lost our granddaughter Leah aged 19 to a motorcycle RTI(not her fault the fault of a maniac on another motorcycle who crashed into her whilst she was sat stationary on hers),I never blaimed the motorcycle but 17 year old idiot who(killing himself into the bargain)thought himself invincible.Ironically it was Leah,before she was killed,who stirred my dormant interest in motorcycling again,I wanted to ride with her,possibly to protect her.
I've waited a long time before I dared even broach the subject with Mrs R2 and the family who aren't happy about it,people may call me selfish,but they'll have to get used to the idea as the pull has become irresistible.

A couple of quick snaps from my first ride on it today:-

It's a few years since rode a motorcycle and I must admit I was more than a little apprehensive about a new bike and all the new kit and helmet.
But after an hour or so I was surprised how things dropped into place,not that I'm claiming to be anything other than returning beginner,though I really enjoyed the 80miles I did on it today
