Winter ride
Posted: 16 Dec 2021 16:07
So, a lovely day, no salt and time on my hands. What to do? Ah yes, a ride.
The roads may have no salt but there is a lot of mud, especially the side roads. The Sport managed it all, though.
Just about to leave the cafe and a Norton single appeared. 1961 and still looking good. A comment was made about all the plastic rockets tucked up for winter. No traffic, stunning scenery, but a low sun. Most enjoyable, thrashing the thing up hill and down dale at 60 mph. My new Viton crankshaft seal has worked, too. Fourth time lucky. I shan't be buying any more seal kits!
Apart from Corsaro Chris, anybody else ride their bikes in winter? It does need a good scrub, but that is for tomorrow.
