Popular Post Turbogirlie Posted November 28, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 28, 2020 So after 12 years of not being on a bike due to a prolapsed disc in my neck, on Sunday 22nd Nov, we took my new bike for a ride. I've bought myself a MT Rapide carbon fibre helmet, which is incredibly lightweight as well as the GT750. Fil (my better half) followed on his Triumph Tiger 1200 & we managed 93 miles around Herefordshire and Worcestershire, with a couple of stops. Cold day, but good to be back. Took a couple of photos as below. Need to clean the GT, which isn't one of my strengths...maybe wheel her out of the garage tomorrow & get the mud off... 12 Quote

Bender Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 Looks like a nice day out, hope you have many more 1 Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 That’s great @Turbogirlie what a blast after that length of time. Good call on the lightweight helmet. The riding will have those neck muscles built up in no time! Hope you’re not sore tomorrow but even if u are it’ll be the best kind of ache anyone can ever have! 1 Quote
Marino Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 And I panic if I didn’t ride for 3-4 months, great go for it 2 Quote

Turbogirlie Posted December 7, 2020 Author Posted December 7, 2020 Aww, thanks everyone for the great comments. Waiting patiently for my next ride. Neck/shoulder were ok after the rideout, clutch hand was sore though! Lol! Quote
