First ride in 3 months (1 Viewer)

[dazandandrea]

3 months after my vertigo episode ive managed to get my first ride in and also first ride of 2024.
Some areas were very very wet with plenty of evidence of recent flooding.
Felt very strange to be out again after 3 months, but soon got the hang of things.

Sorry to hear about your vertigo. Congratulations and keep up!

Nice bike……been contemplating taking the plunge and just getting one. Glad you’re able to get out and enjoy it again.
Can I ask……does it have heated seats…..Mrs Stoosal gets very cold and it may help my argument for getting it!

Glad you've been able to get back out on it; probably not a better bike to do it on (I have the same model (different colour)).

Here’s to many more to come.

Mine doesn’t but I don't know if it was an option so others may have it; it‘s certainly available on the next generation models.

Nice , I had the BMW Triple Black GSA before I bought the Triumph Trophy. Not been out on mine since August, just lost the mojo for it at the moment. Even contemplating selling.

Get her a heated jacket , much better than heated seats.

I think the heated seat was an option.
Mine hasnt got it.
Did have front and rear heated seats on the Triumph Tiger and it was great in the winter. (Shame about the rest of the bike)
They are available from the likes of Nippy Normans but at a price.

Trade it in for a GSA and you’ll soon get your mojo back.

Loved my old GSA, unfortunately the wind noise off the screen was horrendous and aggravated my tinnitus. Spent a fortune trying to sort it. I needed a bike with an electrically adjustable screen hence i bought the Triumph.

I feel your pain; I’ve tried three different screens.

Heated seats and grips on my Tiger……..out riding 2 or 3 times every week…..toasty!

I'm still riding in summer gloves, the only thing heated on my bike is the exhaust

Find out where your local IAM group is, then go get some new riding buddies and up skill yourself at the same time.

2nd week commuting to work and still feeling a bit uncomfortable but better.
Just think i have to keep in there and get on with it.
Traffic on the M1 doesnt help but if i can do it at this time of year things can only get better.

Mine was an NSU Quickly. A misnomer if ever there was one.
