With some misgivings

It is with some misgivings (she annouces thoughtfully) that I have agreed to ride my loner motorcycle down to Shannonville for the first Parts Canada Motorcycle Race of the season. This is a 3 1/2 hour trip for me. I've logged about 220 km so far, but that was over 3 days. Part of me has a secret yearning to be able to "ride with the guys". But the other part of me has no wish to do 220 km/h round twisty corners leaning the bike over at hair-raising angles. AND my learners permit specifies that I cannot ride in the dark, cannot drive major highways, blah blah blah. And as I mentioned in a previous post, I don't speed. I hope dear hubby knows how much of a damper I am going to be on his ride. There are about 15 bikes going down, I'll be at the back.

Did I mention he has plans for me to take his vintage race bike round the track at the first Vintage Race? I better learn to take corners better.

We leave Friday, I'll make sure I post about that so I can read it a few years from now and marvel at my beginner's nerves.
