Proper looking garage there 👍

Yep I have been going there since I started riding.   It’s never changed.    They are a cash only operation and I love that 😎.    £30 for MoT’s.   
It used to be a Suzuki main dealer back in the day.

Out and about on the tiddler this morning.    Did the Fowey cross loop and throughly enjoyed it.   Only time I felt a bit vulnerable was joining  the A390 when it’s lack of acceleration feels abit exposed.   Bouncing around between 4th and 5th gear preserving momentum is fun .   Who would have thought getting the most out of 11 BHP ant 40 to 60 mph could be so.  Only thing that does need planning is the lack of braking compared to the other bikes.

Sky tip in the distance.

Fair play to you @Saul, apart from riding on country lanes I nearly always felt vulnerable on my Van Van .  125cc is not for me.

Yeah I completely get what you mean, for a radius of around 5 miles of where I live it's all 20,30 and 40 mph and the 125 is fine for that but when you get on a main road I do feel very vulnerable.  Not sure if I will keep the bike much after the summer but I don't want to get rid before Shadow has a chance to change her mind.  She hasn't been out the house on her own for months but I am hoping she will work past that at some point.  I want the bike here if she does.  In the mean time I will keep it clean and used for local errands.

Why has she decided no more riding?

Met up w/ my mate yesterday for a spin down Clark creek Rd. I had to try & talk him into getting out as he'd received some news that his Aunt was not doing well health wise earlier that morning.😟 I was patient & gently reminded him that it would be a cryin' shame NOT to get out on such a beautiful day. Over the course of our ride, he ended up thanking me 3 times for talking him into it.👍

The contrast of that cloudless blue sky against all the fresh greenery was amazing....

As an added treat, we ran across this beautiful little colt along this farm on the way back...had to stop for a pic....🥰
