Default Back on two wheels at last

After a ten year break from riding, I'm back in the saddle. You guessed it - I got me a Street Bob (Vivid Black not Denim Black). I think it was the last showroom Bob in Oz.

I've had it a week and the weather's been crap - but I can wait a little longer.

Will post pics soon, but am planning to keep the bike as standard as I can while still keeping the Minister for War happy (which will mean a detachable pillion).

She's already teed up a couple of short rides for her friends on mothers day - now I just have to tell them about the 'nude rule' (hee hee).

Lovin' every minute.
