Today, after many years out of the saddle, I picked up my 2014 EX from my local dealer.
Today I woke up to heavy rain, which cleared to blue skies and fluffy clouds before I set off.
Today I didn't need the waterproofs I had bought in anticipation of the end of our heat wave which coincided with my pickup date.
Today I added 75 miles to the 250 already on the trip counter.
Today I didn't drop or ding her, despite my inept skills, the efforts of various cars, dawdling foreign car drivers, and a homicidal caravan towing van driver.
Today, my wife tells,me the bike looks 'really nice' and is almost tempted to throw her leg over.
Today ended with an excellent curry from our local takeaway and (several) glasses of red wine.
Hard to see how tomorrow could better this...but I'll try....
