I've not used my MC much this year as I bought an XFR and have had other priorities so the poor old thing's just been garaged and neglected. However, as I usually take it off the road before winter salt eats it, I thought I'd make the effort and use it a bit before the tax runs out.
Holy shit.......I'd forgotton what a raw, seat of the pants laugh it is, I've clearly spent too long being nannied by modern technology and DSC! It's been "fun" in the wet and especially when there's rain after a dry spell so the roads get greasy.
I've had the joy of plenty of controlled slow speed tail out action after first checking that the coast is clear and also been sharply reminded how it could all go horribly wrong with some heart in mouth moments at much higher speeds on A & B roads.
I've really enjoyed the lot though, it's made me feel alive and I've been reminded just what a great car a sorted MC can be to drive, especially in less than perfect conditions. I know I'm rambling on, but this can be a quiet forum and it's sometimes good to just talk about the emotive aspects of car ownership.
The mods I've done to my car make it feel quite raw and aggressive which makes it a great "hobby" car for me.....
What are the joys and best bits of MC ownership for you?
