Time to think about getting my leg over

Last week I thought I'd best see if Ginny would start. No worries, she burst into life first prod of the button. It'd been about 5 months, since she'd last roared into life. 

March will be a busy time for her. Come the first, I'll look to get her re-taxed. She'll then need to have her MOT, which I've booked for 16th today, at a place in Sittingbourne. Insurance is due on 22nd, and I have a little makeover planned to coincide with that. Once, she's all legal again,  I'll be hoping the weather allows for some essential travel, as I have a long list of places I want to visit. Just getting on her to take her for MOT will be like an adventure though, after the last 12 months. Catch up in a few weeks. 

Stay safe still.

Shit Happens

 What a terrible year it has been. Hopefully, all my readers have stayed safe from Covid.

 It's almost 3 months since I last rode Ginny. What, no adventures Neill? During that time, I've not even come close to getting out on her. We've either been restricted or the weather has been absolute pants. My plans to go on Ginny to see my grandson James every 2 months came to nought, and the result of all this upheaval we've faced, has meant that I've done less than 1500 miles on her this year. I don't ride in the winter anyway, so for the first time ever, I've SORNed my bike. For those that don't know, that means I've registered Ginny as off road for the next 3 months. It means I can't use her on the road until 1st March and only then once I have taxed her again. It does mean I have got a 3 month refund though. She is now all covered up and being trickle charged. When she emerges from her slumbers, she'll need to go and have her MOT, as she'll be 3 on March 17th. Hopefully by then, things will be somewhere near to what we once called normal and I can look forward to riding her once again.

For now though, I expect that's the last you'll hear of any adventures for a while. 

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year 

Stay safe.
