Ever The Optimist Part 3.

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by mervyn, May 27, 2016.

  1. Since my starting on new medication in February I have had a very much roller coaster of a ride.:(
    Today I had a ride of a different sort and went out for an adventure on my HP2.:)
    I didn't know what to expect of this strange bike,but within 5 mins I was just so pleased.Difficult to put into mere words,but the bike rode just as well,if not better,than it looks.
    I was a bit apprehensive that the bike might be too much for me,not a bit of it.I took it carefully for the first few miles,waiting for those traffic lights to go out on the dashboard,then opened it up,just a little mind you.Ooh,this is nice,lets try the shift assist,ha ha.
    I very much enjoyed my first ride on the bike,quite comfortable as well,and not too noisy.A nice bit of pop and bang on the overrun,very much grin making.
    All to soon my adventure was over,but I will patiently wait for the next outing.:upyeah:

  15. Well,it is still raining with lots of big black ones scudding around.I will not be going out on the bike today :( My confidence levels are not up to wet and greasy roads yet,so I will have to wait for my next outing when weather is better.

  17. What a pity, it only rained very briefly then the weather was hot and sunny for the rest of the afternoon. Oh well.

    There were dozens of diesel bikes and outfits of various specifications, including some from Netherlands, Germany, etc. Met up with @Chris .
