It’s spring. It’s spring, and you renewed the insurance last week. The sun is gleaming on the bay, a gentle breeze fans the waters, and a handful of small, fluffy, white things are drifting across the cerulean vault. Magnificent, you think. Today’s the day!
That’s because you’ve only been riding for two years and have much, much to learn, poor fool!
At least you’re smart enough to opt for the Michelin Man look – leggings and two sweats under the suit (with liner) – for all the good it does. And what the hell, if you don’t take the bike out for a spin, the battery might go flat. So there!
Ten klicks down the road you’re prepared to admit that a flat battery is A Good Thing. Comparatively speaking. ‘Cos, man! It’s freezing! If the helmet didn’t hold your jaw in place, your teeth would be rattling. That’s how cold it is.
But niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!
