Ode to the daily driver - Return of the Honda.

After much too long an absence, my trusty "Vigor" is back in daily driver action:

This bike has been well looked after by my dad while I was unable to use it, and is in better shape than when I left it!

For starters, there are new tires, the same as were fitted back in 2015, which gave good performance. An oil and filter change, new brake pads, all contribute to breathing new life into a workhorse of a machine, that has covered a truly impressive mileage over the years.

There is a lot to like about this motorcycle, a lot I have come to appreciate and, looking back, it has done remarkable things and proved to be very strong: the very first trip to Corsica, the very first Stealth Trip, the CMT3, and countless trips within the hellhole that is Rome and surrounding territory.

This may not be the prettiest or fastest or most sought after bike there is, but it is a reminder that even the most humble motorcycle is still infinitely better than the best car in the world.

Happy New Year
