    Just back from an early morning jaunt. I am wondering what happens to us when we don leathers and helmet and head for the good roads on a great morning.

    For me, my whole psychological make-up changes. I do things that only 20-year-old might be doing, not reckless, but having little regard for personal safety - or is it over-confidence - and doing things I would NEVER to in a car. Sure, some overtakes are easy and exhilarating, but they are not always what a 'responsible' road user would employ.

    I turn into my estate at the end of it all and feel on top of the world. So, is it only me?:cool:

    I of course always drive within the law and never overtake anyone, I save all that for the track :D

    Not at all. I know when I go out to the good roads and really get to it, everything else melts away.

    I find the same catharsis in detailing. The machinations and the execution, they do it for me.
