    Sitting in my office at around 4.30 today when I hear a bike take off on the ring road just behind my office. They were obviously blowing away some winter blues, I heard him or her hit the limiter in 3 gears and the sound was awesome, that's when I got goose bumps, I then looked at the forecast for the weekend and there may be a chance to get my blade out and see how my new Scorpion exhaust sounds.

    Yup it's surprising how the ears pick up at the sound of a high revving engine .There was something knocking about today in Warrington centre but sometimes its heard to tell at normal speeds if it is a bike or boy racer .still good to hear though .

    its my birthday on 21st feb and every year i have always managed to get out on the bike before this date and i hope this year is the same, that gives me 3 weeks, oh how i yearn for that first ride of the season where you ride like a complete novice, crap gear changes and terrible lines through corners, bring it on

    Now there's a coincidence, I was drinking my tea looking out the office window, the sun was shining and the road looked dry, around the block weather came to mind:)

    That wail from another motorcyclist's exhaust is the wolf howl from another pack member. Saying 'It's time to hunt!'
