I can feel the excitement building, it’s like static electricity charging the air around me. Soon, I ride. Over the weekend and this evening I wrenched on the bike and finished up the repairs. I think she’s eager to go too. I swung onto the saddle for the first time since the accident to move her to a position with better light. The ankle felt good, strong and no major pain. I fired her up and and she started immediately. Warmed her up for a while. Revved her gently a few times. Finally twisted the throttle and let the tach climb towards red line. The banshee howl of 1200cc’s of inline-4 reverberating off the wall behind me and shredding the quiet of a peaceful evening.
The rest of the replacement gear is enroute now via Fedex, scheduled to arrive later this week. New helmet is here now. Long range weather forcast is calling for a beautiful weekend. Yeah, the stars may be in alignment this coming weekend. We’re ready…
