Spring has arrived early, and has found me with pent-up motorcycling demand - the strong desire to ride when I can.
I’m anxious to ‘become one with the bike’ because in June I ride to Halifax to fulfill a promise made to my dad. And I know forty-three hundred kms (2,700 miles) won’t come easy if my body isn’t ready for it.

Off I went this afternoon, east along the 401 from London to the Aylmer exit, and ended up in Port Bruce again.
["Land, water, sky - all warming up together early"]
The bike is ready already!

It ran like a top and 115 kph sure felt like its sweet spot today.
If that holds true, 2 weeks on the road won’t knock me out.
So, today I tip my hat to Spring for arriving a wee bit ahead of schedule.

Did you ride today?
Where did you end up?

The answer is yes, and I ended up at Hully Gully in London.
Hi Robert,
I was thinking about a trip to Hully Gully myself to look over the used bikes (incurable habit?) but didn't want any temptations. My Virago is running so well, I just needed to get some miles in.
Cheers,
GH
