Appreciated your call yesterday and looking forward to our two day ride over the North Cascades on the 15th & 16th.

welcome home....only you know if its time to change....sit on your bike in the shed by yourself and talk to it...its good therapy...run your hands over it..slow and inspect things...it will bring good memories back to you...

Hello Pfrmfr,
glad you got home safe, you can always replace things you own (although rebuilding the Laptop can be a pain).
Yes those sleeping policemen are a pain, I generally roll off the throttle before hitting the front edge of one which helps settle the bike and offsets the throttle blip when dropping off the back edge.
You have been over here during some strange weather for us - I have not known it this warm for a while on this side of the pond. If you ride ATGATT it can be a pain - more speed helps cool you down
I live in Derbyshire with many hills and steep inclines - and understand that you do feel the weight much more in these conditions

Don't make any quick decisions just yet - do some rides back home and caulk it down to experience - not all rides aboard will be like this.

replying late.... sorry for the slack but I wish to make it clear that the experience I encountered while riding in 41 degres celcius .... until about 35 degres speed cools you off past 39 degres it burns your face rather quickly if you have no windshield of some sort , lucky me I had a good helmet .

Once the air temp exceeds body temp you need to seal yourself off, I know, having ridden through central Spain in 42*c+ a couple of years ago. Dehydrates and exhausts you pretty quick too
