So I pulled onto the dual carriageway earlier, the traffic was fairly light, but not to the point that I had both lanes to myself. I wasn’t rushing anywhere and I knew the ongoing roadworks would be lasting until 2027 so I had nothing to prove by overtaking the lumbering SUV in front. We sat at 65mph on the dot (it’s a 70mph limit) on the inside lane, just chugging along without speeding up, or slowing down. I realised that with all the heavy traffic of late, it’s one of the great things that this bike does, the act of just getting you there in an enjoyable manner, unhurried by the world.
I’d really missed this feeling, and it’s often so difficult to achieve as part of a remote. So much of that ends up being a constant stream of information and potential hazards.
Where’s this going? Nowhere really, but I guess that’s the point.
