@Chak @Soul I can imagine a long cool dry day on a highway on some giant Goldwing or Harley you might actually enjoy it with some James Taylor or America playing.
But really, wouldn’t choose it again unless it was a necessity. Sunday was about ticking it off from an endurance and “if I had to, could I?” POV. I prefer whenever possible to do something at my leisure, so then if push comes to shove I have the experience under my belt.
Talking of push coming to shove, my dad has been going on about getting a bike since getting jealous. He has an oldboy license so can legally ride anything, except that his last bike was 40 years ago, and a 125 Kawasaki. He doesn’t want power or weight or speed, just that sensation.
I told him to just ride my GN125 tracker, zero power but also zero weight and good fun. He wants his own new bike. Spent days steering him away from the Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 500 replica.
He sat on a Honda CRF250L and kinda fell in love. Sorry not sorry, dad.
