Great post...
I'm just sad thinking I don't know that feeling yet...

I do love my 600 Monsters but I'm sure I never had a proper ride on a proper Duke... Or maybe with the 620 Sport????

Great post David - I had one of those mornings today where I walked in through the front door at work smiling my 'preverbials' off. Used to get it on the Monster 600 I had (nothing wrong with those machines Tonio ) it was a wrench saying goodbye to it). But I traded it in for a 749 and the grin just seemed to get bigger.

Hope you have many more days like that - I'm absolutely certain you will, and when you least expect them !!

That is a great post, wish the weather was better as I'd be logging off right now and getting her out fof an airing, only another 4 months to wait

But as had been said wait until that first crisp day of spring, and you've not been out for a while, you're wrists will ache, the odd twinge in your back, but the grin on your face is priceless

Still feel the same....

Weather was bloomin' marvellous yesterday, cold in the shade but not a cloud in the sky and quite warm in the sun. Roads a bit damp but nothing too dodgy.

Absolutely gagging to ring around and see if I could get a raiding party out on some of the local roads, but I've got such a backlog of work to do it just couldn't be done....

Nice post David.

PS: I bet some people still sleep in their football boots
