It's great to be back on two wheels

First day back commuting after my accident last November. What a great day in Wellytown.

It was really good being back on the bike, although I must admit to taking things very easy. My hands/wrists/ arms are still a bit stiff, but I've got pretty good movement. The GS has got a reasonably relaxed riding position so not too much pressure on my wrists. Still a bit scary being in peak traffic.

The worst thing is that I'm having trouble concentrating on the job as I want to get out on the bike again.

Roll on 4.30.

Lucky bugger,
I am at least another 6 weeks away from riding, the CBR smirks at me when I hobble past it in the garage.
The weather is primo for you, enjoy !

That makes two of us!

Beautiful day for a ride, even a commute.

Nice to see you on a bike again.

Well Dodgyiti and Andyadams, hope you chaps heal quickly. Unfortunately it's not something you can hurry along too much. Still seeing the people at the Hand Clinic in Wgtn about my right hand. Lots of stretching exercises but things are getting better.

yesterday was the first day i actually felt like a rider again.
None of this, gingerly riding - and i actually pulled a wheelie again

its strange how you feel alive after being down for so long with an injury.
Dont worry guys, bikes will still be allowed when you get back
