And back on track, more or less, talking of getting your papers in order get this for frustrating: Bought the bike after getting my bike licence, then picked up a speeding ticket, not on the bike but in my truck which carried a mandatory one month ban.  That's how it works here in Spain, at 50% over the marked limit you get an automatic ban and I did 96kph through a 60kph junction.  Bad move: 300€ fine - that's about 400$ and a month off the road.  And sat in the garage my new-to-me longed for first bike, The Lettuce.  Add three weeks vacation, also without bike, and I'm off the road for 7 weeks.  Boy did it hurt to have and yet not to have.  Polishing chrome just don't come close to getting out and riding my little beauty.  It hurt, it really did, but the law's the law and temptation was there to be resisted.

It was a close run thing.

I went out the other day, it was about 40 or so to check on my parents place (they winter over in Florida).  When I was on my way back home, it started snowing.  Go figure...
