It is now just over a week since I was last able to take the bike out. Is anyone else suffering from withdrawal symptoms like me?

A very good point, but date and location combine to provide context.

January in Australia, would be nice biking weather :cool

….apart from the wildlife of course.

That said I am a bit sad the roller skate is stuck in the garage. I keep eyeing up potential mods on t'internet which is not good for the bank balance.

Are you thinking about getting a Vespa?

Will the dry sump improve the ground clearance?

I finally got back on the bike today after weeks of my road being frozen every morning!

Feels good.

You are all lucky to be able to get on your bikes. Due to my stroke I have no idea when I will be fit enough to work the clutch and keep the bike upright. Me, jealous of you all, never :angryfire :angryfire

Keep trying. My friend had the same problem as you and ended up using a HD Sportster as it helped her to get her foot down when she found that she could not ride her GS any more. Compromise might be better than nothing at all

Best wishes with your recovery

I'm missing it big time, garage is a bomb site - but have taken charge and started getting shelving delivered and freeing up room.

Cut up 400 quids worth of aqua panel off cut pieces that I no longer can stomach sitting around getting in the way...... the wheelie bin was jammed and sooooooooo heavy 🙈

By this weekend I'm back on two wheels!

Didn't make it, my 4 year old son has an active social life!

This weekend though!
