So, your vids hit home. It’s so important to talk about these things. I’m not talking about anxiety or mental health per se, but I am talking about strokes, big, small, or somewhere in between. We all have to take seriously what you have been through, what you’re going through and what you’re heading towards. And how we can learn. We all take life and what it throws up for granted. But it all takes a toll. Every hour we are awake in the middle of the night is lost for ever. We never recover from lack of sleep. So we need to change the way we view work, how we think, how we act. Sleep when and where you can. When we sleep, our brains work stuff out. It heals. It gives our subconscious the answers. It also heals the body, mind and soul. Great vid. Great effort. Keep on keeping on.

And indeed, riding is therapeutic in both mind and body. Sooooo come on spring! Good bye Covid let’s ride. Here’s hoping the best for you and yours Mr. Fish.

I have the new 2022 Super Cub being delivered in March 22 and just hope I have as much fun as you on it. I am also going for the NC500 in June so getting the gear together now even bfore it gets here Dobles in Coulson are looking after it for me as I cannot register it before 1st March as I have a special number **22 CUB only valid after 1st March I ordered the bike early as I was told by some dealers it would take 3 months to get here but it arrived after 2 weeks! The new 2022 has stronger suspension as it comes kitted out to carry a passenger so they upped the suspension to cope with the extra weight and a marginal upgrade to output power with a new bottom end from the 110 which has a different oil cleaner than the older model so easier maintenance.
