    Two years riding and done my first long ride!

    Just wanted to say I have found myself finally at one with my bike.... I ride a 110cc everyday as a postie... loads of fun BUT... as taken my confidence away from the 650... so these last few days 1000km, and 11 hrs of riding over a few days have helped boost my confidence, and ability on the road. Time for some time on the track, and learn my bikes true capabilities... old chicken must retrain her brain.
