How about MotoGiro followed by Bayliss at Mugello? The timing is perfect. The Giro goes almost past my front door, Mugello is a stones throw away and Tuscany in June is a magic time of year. Chianti is full of sun flowers, poppies and the best wines and scenery ever. It'd be great to see a few old faces
I thought about quiting 18 months ago. I was adamant the 996 was going, that it was time to do other things, I even wrote the advert. Everyone told me I was wrong, even my wife.
In the end, winter came and it was too late to sell the bike anyway so it sat in the garage all winter. Then spring came and I still didn't want to ride so I just left it there while I did other things. A few weeks later I took it out for a short ride and within a couple of miles that noise put a grin back on my face and I realised I would have been wrong to sell it.
So - for me -it was just a case of having a break from it, long enough to realise how much I missed it.
I do a lot more cycling these days, but I still get out on the bike as well - just not as much as before.
