In West mids and looking for bike meets or nice places to go, as it can kinda get a bit "where do we go?" "Done that been their!" Are their places in west mids or even out of the area that you would think of as good ride?
Sorry to read about your wife, maybe give her a few days. I chucked a total melt down last week as a passinger after my cbt test took me three days to get back on. Best thing I did, hope she feels better soon. But never say never!
