In.

Loving this time-off from work, but have to admit cabin fever is starting to set in. Wouldn't be able to do Sunday as I already have plans.

Many thanks to Daniel, Andrew, & Gerard for the great day and into into moto group riding today. Can definitely I have more confidence today than I did when I first stepped on the GS. Just need to follow on more rides and get the feeling for handling the power and high riding position.

Hope to ride with you all soon again!
Cheers!
