LET’S RIDE<br />

This year I struggled for a while with making a new year’s<br />

resolution. Then it came to me – this year I’m going to ride<br />

more. Only so far that’s not quite happening, yesterday<br />

(February 27) being the first day on a bike this year – out in<br />

the winter sun on the long term Suzuki V-Strom 650XT (such a cool<br />

bike).<br />

But I’d reasoned I needed to make this vow given I didn’t ride so<br />

much last year. Only when I totted-up my rides I actually did more<br />

than okay: Mongolia for a two weeks on the BMW GSs; America for<br />

three weeks, on GSs, cruisers and enduros (including two desert<br />

rides); I tested a bunch of heritage bikes, rode Triumph Tigers in<br />

Wales, Beta enduros in Italy, took a beating trying to ride a Ténéré<br />

660 in a wet Welsh rally and for alternative fun I drove a Polaris SXS<br />
