That looks pretty fair for winter.

No ride for me this week, a friend has called me to shelve our plan - it's just too hot at the moment and there's no point in putting up with the discomfort if it can wait.

The GSX is at the front of the garage, awaiting its turn.

Cafe Valletta in Toowoomba via MaMa creek and the Devils Spine (so much nicer riding up) 😈
Started off at 12 deg C warmed up to 23 deg, clearest blue sky welcome to winter in South East Queensland 👍👍❤️❤️

Thanks Col, i like to look after her. Gets harder as things get done. Next few plans, polished clutch cover, polished fork legs. Id like polished swing arm and peg hangers, will happen. I also want a black tail piece & black tank. Then can swap between colours, fast and slow, no idea which is which.If black is faster must be worth getting.

Nowhere ...... and not until next year - Back surgery is working out as predicted and Sturgeon has banned me from riding for 6 months! Grrrrr.
Ah well! ....next year will be an event! I can't even work on my bikes and MGs, bending over is a no go! I'm vicariously riding with you guys!
I need to go somewhere I've not been but won't know until I get there!

All the best with the recovery. Keep looking forward to riding that bike in 2026!

Any back surgeries are difficult however if there is pain relief it's a bonus. I've met several people who've had successful spinal fusions with a small lack of flexibility but do need to be cautious when engaging with spinal movements.
Good luck with your recovery 🙏🙏🙏

Vicariously riding ? That's a new one 🧐🧐

Went out for a hour's ride this afternoon around the local area. Must be something in the water, or sunshine and 16C has made folk daft, but I encountered a greater number of blind, stupid drivers than usual.

On two occasions oncoming cars overtook recumbent bicycles and forced me to the left of my lane...riding a large white bike with headlight on, and wearing a white helmet and yellow hi viz vest, made me invisible.

Despite the road morons, it felt fantastic to be riding in the sunshine after weeks of grim weather  :boogie2:

I did a 2½ hour run on the Rocket, just around the local environs, down past Charleston towards Fox river then did a U turn (traffic was ruining it) & headed to Mokihinui & Karamea way.  Went up the hill a bit, took a couple of snaps & headed back to Seddonville, pub was closed so came back home. Nice round trip, think it was about 180 odd k's.  Gave her a bit of a run into the 200's on the way back, huge grin factor.  It's just sooo easy to do.

Half way up the hill heading towards Karamea
