I've caught a pretty bad dose of it myself, Stuart. After not riding for a good number of years I bought my current bike last October and haven't looked back.
Last time I was on a bike I was about 17... now 54 lol ... in a mad spell, or late mid-life crisis I thought what the hell get a bike to compliment 4 days at the gym and get rid of the last 3 stone
well, about 2 to now then I will have lost 10 stone plus... feel great and never though even short rides could be so good...
When I went for the bike I thought buy cheap or pay a bit more.... Mmmm pay a bit more, that way it cost me too much to sit in the garage but I am glad I did, love the bike and riding..
