    I left work around 3, after mangling an old L plate to get it on. Apparently this was funny? I've been home long enough to defrost in the shower, but Oh. My. God. I had an absolute ball. Who needs drink when they have bike?!

    Though I'm sure a drink would be great right now. Or even some food. Too busy riding to stop and eat. Whoops.

    I'm planning on riding tomorrow. I've still got a butt load of gas, and I have some parents to scare. Again.

    Which is going to scare them most, you on the new bike or you on a pantry raid?
    Glad you had a good ride and are really enjoying your new bike.

    Congrats GM, nothing wrong with the wee GN125.... look forwards to seeing you on the road.... We (partner and I) may go for a 'short ride' later Sunday.. drop me a PM if you are interested...

    Will do!
    I'm having the most unorganised day in history, so I don't want to make too much in the way of plans. I just realised I promised someone breakfast, and its now 11am and I'm still in my pj's. She's coming here with bagels and coffee. LOL.

    I have to buy tropical fish stuff today too, so the likelihood of a ride is low. Especially before I clean the moth off my helmet. I swear it was the size of a golf ball once it impacted on my visor. Stupid nature.

    I'd rather not move home. Much as I love my parents, I hate living with them. So I'll stick with my 5 minute walk/one minute ride. I swear it takes longer to put my gear on, that it does to walk to work

    You will have to move further away from work.

    Yep ... the 20 minute ride takes 40 minutes ... when you include putting it on, and taking it off afterwards ...

    When I got my first bike after a long time saving, I found that it took me twice as long to get to/from work than it did when I was riding my mountain bike... because I kept finding excuses to take the (very) long way home
