It's been a couple of weeks since I got out on mine, I must do it soon. Reading your post brought all the pleasure back....again!

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???? :lol:

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 :D

David I know just how you feel I did the same in 1995 & i'm still there just can't ride so far these days.

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

Started riding duke's at 30 and still riding them at 51.
What the heck
