Taking the Kawasaki out for a quick blast this afternoon has reminded me that there isn't really a substitute for BHP when it comes to providing 2 wheeled entertainment. It took me a couple of miles to get used to the riding position again but once I'd settled back into things that was forgotten and it was just a case of pointing it where I wanted to go and going there as fast as possible. The fact that I was supposed to be scrubbing in new tyres went out of my mind after about 10 miles so that says something about how capable they felt and after that it was all about reminding myself why I enjoy riding bikes. Two weeks from now I'll have done a couple of laps of the island and I can't wait.
