I had a go of my bike last Sunday and, bottled it. I managed to get it to move about 12", then just couldn't find the bite again. I had just got myself so worked up.
I'll try again tomorrow, if the weather is kind. If I still think "what am I doing?", I'll have to seriously consider getting rid of it. I like the size and look of the Honda CBF125. I know it would be back to a 125, but if that's what if takes to get back on 2 wheels, especially after what Spot and I went through last year, is no shame.

Where has the time gone
I haven't updated this blog for ages. No, I haven't foine away, I just haven't had much to say.
The weather has been poor for most of the autumn and winter, so not much riding for either Mr Gerbil or me. I have been out a few times on the goldwing 2-up in the last couple of weeks. I'm really enjoying it, so that's good.
I haven't been back on my hornet. Partly the weather, but also things on it needing attention. The battery had died, despite being in the house and kept topped up. Probably because it's not been used. After several charges and discharges it seems fine. Then, the throttle return cable was broken, do that needed replaced. It's fixed now, thankfully.
I'm hoping on the next 2-3 weeks I can get back on my own bike. Mr Gerbil'll take it somewhere quiet and I'll have a shot. Them take it from there. Hopefully, it'll be fine.
The restriction on my licence to 33bhp has now expired!!! So, legally I could ride Mr Gerbil's bike. I think I may learn to walk before I run.
So, that's what's happening now. Going 2-up on the 'wing tomorrow with a group of other bikes tomorrow. It should be a good run and we're all looking forward to it. Pictures and story will follow.
