Well, to kick it off, when are you at most peace with your wheels? When you are on 2 or 4 of them ?

Went up Llangegla today, all three of us, "he" was miles in front as is now usual, "she" had a fairly impressive "off" at a section where if you're at speed, you come to a blind crest and you have to sort of twist the bike hard to the left while its in the air to land pointing down the trail. She didn't do that, went straight, and face planted into a boggy ditch. ( this is apparently my fault ) She was in a bit of trouble to be fair in that her bike was tangled up in her legs and she was face down in a ditch when I found her. We were at the furthest point from the car at this point so it was a relief when it transpired that only her pride was injured. I genuinely thought I was actually going to die going up "Heart attack hill" which is about a three mile, very steep, very rocky, off road climb. Moral of the story being that a king sized hangover doesn't mix with exertion. Having more gin now on a purely medicinal basis. Will limit quantity to mere pain killing levels. Too old probably. Heh Ho...

I had noticed that gin was beginning to feature more in the Humph life plan lately.

I'd noticed it too. Probably just a phase.

Two wheels. On my own. For a long cycle. Ideally also with some low volume music in my ears.

Eight. The lorry's got cruise control, aircon, a nice view of the passing totty, I get paid for it and someone else picks up the tab for the fuel.
But given the choice between two whels and four, it has to be the old side-valve on a back road in France, sunny day, a nice lunch and a few cold beers at the end of it.

I used to love bikes, but I kind of went off them. I find them fun for an hour or two but going a long way just makes bits hurt.
My sister, on the other hand, still only rides bikes. I think she's got a car, but I bet she doesn't know where the keys are. Some big-arse Suzuki at the moment.
Last time I rode one of her bikes I damn near killed myself almost running up the arse of a VW on the motorway. I do not have the required self control for today's motorbikes.

I prefer the bike, the re-assuring hum of the double overhead cam flat twin Honda, powering it out of bends in the countryside heading for somewhere with a cuppa and a bun at the end ! What could be better ? I do like the RAV though...it's quite a nice place to be !
