That's a lovely post; biking, family memories, a poignant (dust in the air) ending.
Thanks for posting. RIP Nan.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
We've had a week of cold, rain and fog; at least it's washed the salt away. Today there was bright blue skies and a rise in temperature so it might be the last chance to ride until spring. Of course it had clouded over by this afternoon but it was still quite mild and didn't look like raining so I managed to get out for an hour round the local back roads

Bike needs a wash now, I'll do it tomorrow

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
First day of the year,I've got a day off & it's not icy,I had to get out on the Street Triple for an hour

Given the state of the roads I think my old XT600 would have been more appropriate
We've had some rain recently...

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Taking the thread title almost literally, I found this pic. I think that it was the last day that I ever rode (and if it wasn't, it was very soon after). Albeit not my bike.
The 'know your limits' sign is rather prophetic. Not too long after that the balance problems started.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Last year I managed to get out on the bike sometime every month in the year. This year the weather and circumstances have been total rubbish and I haven't turned a wheel since November 21.
Must be others like me and that's why the thread is a bit slow.

Last time I had the Trident out was 1st January. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get a break in the weather and get the wheels turned, even for half an hour!

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
This morning, had to get to the dentist for 9am. Was about 5 degrees and I was just about warm enough.
It's been a long time since I've needed to get to Chelmsford from Braintree way in the rush hour - there were queues of cars everywhere, basically stationary. Luckily there's wide roads and bus lanes so I didn't get caught up in it. I don't care that the bike is now filthy and covered in crap (it had a nice coat of ACF50 last night) - I'd still be queuing if I'd gone in the car!

I ride quite a bit even when the weather is shit through the instructor gig….. I don’t even think to take a picture of a crap covered 20 year old Fazer for the forum
I was out with a couple of kids on the roads today so if I remember tomorrow I might take a pic

Same here today.
Snowing steadily and bloody freezing cold. A day for the fire.
