Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

@Sandi T: Many thanks to you!

 

@Wessa: Thanks a lot!

 

Happy new bike day @Markus - wishing you miles of fun!!!

 

Commute again for me; I am getting better at being a bike and getting through traffic rather than still thinking more like a car .

 

Commute for me too - on the wife's striple. Perhaps I got through traffic rather too quickly... 61 years of age and that thing still turns me into a hooligan...

 

Happy New bike day mate! I hope she'll give you lots of safe and enjoyable miles!

 

I am a hooligan - in - training still but have grand aspirations .

 

sounds like you're developing rapidly! You've got a great bike for it! (Gorgeous bike, actually)

 

I'd like to think so .

 

Mrs V is going rather slower, but learnt a lot in the Vosges last month. She's busy training her young horse though, so riding her bike at present has to be second priority. We'll be out this weekend again, racking up a few more miles.

 

I hope she's still loving fitting it in when she can . I can't even imagine attempting to train a horse, hats off to Mrs V!!

 

She does love fitting it in, however training a 4 year old is a bit of a task.. pretty boy though!

 

I find horses absolutely beautiful and admire their power and the skill of accomplished trainers and riders, but there's something iffy about a mode of transport with a mind of it's own .

 

I fully agree - but when you have the right horse and get it right it's exhilarating! This is me...

 

Wow!! That looks incredible.

 

@Vulpes: Thanks for your great wishes! It is very comfortable to ride.

 

@Mrs Visor: Many thanks to you!

 

Thats why I love them so much

 

Nice picture and lovely how you've used colour on a black and white background

 

I got into horse riding because of an ex girlfriend and found it was one of the few things I actually seemed to have some aptitude for. Carried on riding and having lessons and really liked it, found it a huge stress reliever. I ended up on a horse safari in Africa tracking wild rhino, one of the most exciting things I have ever done. Haven't ridden now for about 15 years.
