Re: In, out or shake it all about?

... Hardest months work I have ever done. I'm much happier teaching in an adult education environment as the majority of them want to be there or are getting paid to be there and jobs are on the line, makes for a very motivated classroom.

Re: Spring is on its way...

... rusty when I get back on it, but last week's bimble from the mother in law's showed me that I wasn't too wobbly. It's just going to be a matter of getting back into it gradually, and not just jumping into a Peak District ride with Monty or a filtering session with Kwacky!

Re: Advice for buying a bike privately

Very nice bike. I keep getting tempted to buy a 675R even though I thought I'd had enough of sports bikes. But it just looks so good.
