embarrasing but sort of funny...

With a slight hangover I took off in today's perfect winter's sunshine a little way up the Putty Road stopping at the servo somewhere past Colo Heights, brilliant bends!!

...headache got worse (that's my excuse) so I just cruised back sitting on about 120/130 through the bends... then I noticed three lights on the front of a bike on my tail... wow.. a Harley Electra Glide with 2up

I was surprised at the handling, bet he thought i was an old fart with a hangover

thought I'd share my thrill for the day sorry no pics

Nothing wrong with taking it easy when your suffering, even just the slightest amount. I would assume you can rest assured, even if you were taking it really easy, the guy on the HD was most likley wringing its neck to catch up/ keep up with you.

Frankly, when I've got a bit of an over hang- Fresh mountian air in my face, even if your not hanging off the side is a big help. Then a red beer in the garage while I'm cleaning the bike then a nap- lol
