#motorbike

So I recently took my #Motorbike in for it's first service and while there, they gave me this absolute BEAST to take out for a few hours.

Very similar to my bike except it's 200bhp instead of 170bhp. Beautiful machine.

Parked the moto in designated space in #torredelmar returned to find some prick (we think in a car) hit it and knocked it over. Bit of cosmetic damage which doesn’t much bother me, but upon checking it more carefully discovered the front wheel is now out of alignment.

Fortunately the garage who look after it was five mins away and they’re now checking it and hopefully going to sort it.

Total bollox though. And no doubt what will end up a costly lunch trip!

Even though it was forecast to be dry, it’s pissing down. Which will make my Mod2 (and last one!) #motorbike test this morning interesting!

In fairness, I think it might well play into what my instructor calls my overly cautious approach to riding!

Cus ya, when you’re exposed to 2 tons of metal being controlled by idiots, being overly cautious is bad!

He regularly tells me “you’re not riding a push bike now”.

I know, which means I can hit things faster!

Feel free to skip this toot…

I am finally getting down to business (other than unpacking, cleaning, chasing up awaited deliveries and sorting out delivery issues with various shops) and this new dwelling is finally ‘feeling’ like my abode and no one else’s.

I have a tonne of good #habits to get back into, like daily #callisthenics, #walk/jog, #TaiChi, #meditation, #martial arts training (including study), music (#Guitar - poor thing has been lonely for so long), riding my #motorbike, and #cooking (the healthy kind). So much to get on with and to enjoy. And let’s not forget: Picking UP my #writing (RayPierreLeonard.wordpress.com) - that’s also been held in abeyance for far too long.

Today I restarted callisthenics, later I will have time to do some TaiChi. With so many things I wish to do, I am tempted to set up a weekly plan so as not to get lazy (or too busy) again… I don’t know. I’ll see how I go for a while.

Anyways enjoy your day folks, it’s never going to come around again.

All things going well with the third and final motorbike test next week, I'll soon be saying goodbye to my trusty #Piaggio Libery 125 named Misty, and hello to my her replacement.

In honour of Misty, I took some nice (for me) pics and have done a blog post about her.
