Airhead-
I was trying to be reasonable not honest! It never wears off and you know that! I rode with a group of madmen outside Kendal on the way to the IOM in torrential rain at speed of 130++++ on roads which were great but no crash barriers and big drops - my brain said ‘the novelty has gone’ - my mind said ‘ride on, it can only get better’. Guess who won??!
Bizarrely, I almost came off on the way to the boat when I hit fog at the top of a mountain travelling slightly in excess of 60mph - lost sight of the road completely. That was about 6 hours before Kendal.
If the novelty ever wore off - I’d not be looking at Gumtree! 😁Re-read that. The boat took us from NI to Scotland before we headrd to Haysham. Hope that make sense.

I made a mistake and thought you were Jung! Apologies. If you re-read what I said, it applies to him. My mistake !!! I’d keep the BB and only open up when it’s safe. You have not got past the novelty sage yet. Smaller bike will not be the answer until you’ve got past the novelty stage. I’m not saying you will ride slower but you will pick you time and place for high speed.
Does anyone else agree? I could be wrong.
