Prediabetic may now be just "diabetic"

You have lovely wheels, and excellent taste! I do hope the boots'll fit again soon... It seems like a fine way to blow off steam. I don't see the bikes you mention/shared here and on my profile in the Netherlands often... Seems like everyone's either on a Harley, usually vintage/classic and/or special paint, which has me rubbernecking from the car's passenger seat, or a lime green Kawasaki Ninja. (Did they give those away with cereal or something? Nothing wrong with them, there's just so many...! I like a little variation and individuality!). Goldwings seem to all migrate to the south the moment the weather picks up and touring becomes attractive. :)

Aaaanyway, sorry to derail the thread. But I do enjoy a good pic of a bike, haha.
Have an excellent weekend, and I do hope that by now you know you have options and you have room for improvement, in quality and quantity of life. ;)

No problem, happy to chat. forgot to say, the Deauville is a v twin, Rebel upright twin. Both go and handle pretty well for mid size (nowadays) bikes. Listed the Deauville as "SORN" (off the road) when my legs problems started, just had a reminder that the Rebel needs an MoT by the end of the month, which gives me a week to make the boots fit, get it booked in, and hope the weather behaves, or take it off road till I can. A few people and riders moan about different makes, I don't care, two wheels is fine, be it Cruiser, Sports, Tourer, Scooter or dirt bike. All fun :)

I had a BSA 650cc A10, twin, with a double Watsonian sidecar I used to use for transporting the gear of a duo from home to pub, and back again often with a drunken guitarist lashed to the luggage rack on the top.
Those were the days - all on a learner licence too.
I used to ride the BSA in a mini skirt and knee high platform soled boots.
I dressed more sensibly when on the Triumph Tiger Cub and then I got a Suzuki 175 and a Kawasaki 250.

Can't remember what bike and sidecar, but that's the earliest family transport I remember with my mum and dad. MY sister and I would be in the sidecar, dad riding and mum pillion - unless we hit a shower, then he'd pull over and all cram into the sidecar till it stopped. After a chat wityh my dads, I started with bootys, jeans, leather jacket and open face helmet. Helmet soon got upgraded to a full face
