Out and about on the Kawasaki W800. All leathered up against the cold.
Coffee stop at Krazy Horse.
Contemplating a bacon sandwich.
KH Cinema night tomorrow. What a good idea. Biker films!

Eleven years ago, I got back on two wheels with this former Special Escort Group BMW1150RS.
Took it to Normandy with The Boy, to celebrate my 60th.
