Had my first ride of 2013 today. Went for MOT. Weather was sunny but still snow at the side of the road. Feck me have I missed riding. This is the latest I have ever had to wait for the snow to melt and it is still freezing. Road tax Friday and Loch Lomond on Saturday. If only it was a bit warmer.
First foreign trip on the Tuono booked for this year. Belgium at the end of April for 3 days.
We are going to Poperinge then onto Ypres for the Menin Gate and the last post.
Trenches, cemeteries and museums are all on in the plan plus some interesting roads too i hope.
Dordogne in July...

This isnt looking too good for the grid of 2013. I am not too sure that Tommy taking a year out is a good thing for him to do
