Another lonely day riding solo....

I was prompted to post these pictures by reading the comments of Tiger owners in another thread about the pros and cons riding solo.



Yesterday the weather was perfect so I took off to the Lakes. Cold, but not a breath of wind, or a cloud in the sky. Too good to miss.

Heading up to Wasdale Head





Wastwater where I stopped for lunch, there wasn't a sound. Solitude makes you think...

Chris,



Thought I better comment on your Great Ride.

It was like a mini vacation for me. Pretty cold here lately, hope to get out soon. Love that beautiful blue Tiger of yours. 8)

I left the UK to live near the French/Swiss alps. Seeing these pics reminds me  of the scenery round 'ere. Superb....

Nice pics. I commute on my Tiger as often as possible. On the rare occasion I get to ride for fun, i'm all alone. For me being alone with the bike and open road is a major reason I started riding. It gives me a chance to unwind, relax and get away from everything, if only for a couple hours.

Nice pics Chrisn, A few hours away in that country on a good bike would wash off a lot of stress.

I see that I am not the only one who likes the solitude of riding alone.  Not that I am antisocial, but when I spend 99% of my time with other people, it is a real pleasure to be on the road alone with my bike.  There is truly nothing like it, except perhaps being alone in freefall, which is another matter altogether.

After my original Tiger died and while my kneecap knit back together over the summer, my wife decided that I needed to get back on a motorcycle as soon as possible. I, apparently, was not the best company, a bit anxious and antsy. Now that i am riding my new blue Tiger,she worries I will have a more serious accident but after seeing me without my Saturday/Sunday sanity ride, she said she missed the man who recovered from a tough week with several hours on the Tiger.



I think she's onto something.
