Getting fewer ride outs as time goes on these days - thought as I got older I'd have more time, but I seem to have less!

Took an opportunity to head away for a few days with an old friend, just the way we used to....camping and seeing groovy places!

Hope everyone is well.

That's the odd thing, as you get older, you start to plan what you're going to do with all that free time. I took partial retirement 2 years ago, dropping my working week to 3 days.

The plan was a few long weekends away (either on bike or with Mrs L), more time in the garage, fettling the bikes I have on the road and fixing up the one that's still work in progress & generally begining to take things a little easier after a health scare.

Don't have toe time to do any of that & in 2 years, I've managed to get away on the bike twice.

It seems the more time you have, the less 'free' time you get.
No matter how smart you are you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid.
