Speed…

After spending some time stripping the salad off Fingal, I decided to take Peregrine to the race on Monday. That’s what he’s for, after all.
Peregrine, being my baby pride and joy, doesn’t come out between the months of October and May, usually. The roads are too filthy for such a beautiful machine. I just took him out for a quick spin to make sure the brakes were fine and the gears were shifting and everything was running because he hasn’t been out in a few months.
Why oh why oh why was I ever considering riding another bike in a race? Gods that thing is fast. Put the power down and he just jumps forwards. I don’t think I’ve ever ridden a bike as responsive as that one — not even the Pompino.
