I am very lucky. I have been away from home for a week with work, but now back home with a few days to myself. I have a beast of a motorcycle in the garage, the weather is looking good, and tomorrow I'll be out - total freedom to go wherever I please, for as long as I please. I have always loved the bikes since I was a young teenager, owned a few now and loved them all, but now it's not just the bike, it's the whole experience. The CB just seems to bring it all together, everything I desire from the machine and bringing with it that whole package, every time.

It's in the blood.


What more can I wish for Smile
Enjoy these next few days! Maybe even post a ride report when it's all over.
What MG said.
You have it absolutely correct. Our passion for riding and motorcycles is usually something that only fellow riders understand. We are the lucky ones!

I really enjoy colloquial phrases ...

Courtesy translation from English to English: rain coming down in long, straight streaks like a stair rod (bar that holds carpet in place at the bottom of the stairs).

Clearly more sensible than "raining cats and dogs" Thumbs Up
How about "Toad strangler" ?
