Out and about


Even though the weather is getting colder I have still managed to get out for a spin or two. Out again yesterday, temperature around 10oC. Went for a drive to the Cafe down at the lake, not exactly a motorcycle meeting place but still nice with a view across the water.

Neil - was going to have a go driving but motor cycle boots tend to spread over two or three pedals.

Then it was off down to Rosenhill again. It was good to see there were still some hardened MC riders down there, it's thinning out every week though!
A quick spin up the road but will wait until next spring for a new challenge!
Too much grit on the road

It was great on the way to work the other day but after lunch the heavens opened. Lucky I took my trusty tarpaulin with me, it didn’t look so professional but it kept the rain off!  I did notice that one has to take it very easy in wet conditions. A heavy foot and the back wheels slip very easily. The first time it happened it was a bit scary (only did it twice). Perhaps I need traction control?

Out last weekend to Rosenhill cafe, a popular motorcycle meeting place. Sunday out again along some great winding roads. The car corners very well, even Neil on his Suzuki Bandit 1250 had a problem keeping up! Actually that's true, cornering is much faster in the car but while the engine isn't tuned properly it still kept up quite well with the MC.

 
Here is Berndt Jansson one of the great Swedish rally drivers of the 50' & 60's at Rosenhill. I should have offered him a drive in the car!
