I did a 160-170 mile day on the Triumph last week on a business trip. I'd been out on some "essential shopping trips" in the previous weeks so didn't really feel like I'd had a big break. I took it pretty steady, more because of the amount of shite on the roads than perceived rustiness, but I really enjoyed it and am looing forward to getting out more frequently in the coming weeks. Happy that the Mojo is still intact for riding :)

I was really surprised the other week how un-rusty I felt. Normally after my FWB winter lay off I feel total off pace so to speak. This time however it all felt like I'd only not been riding for 2 weeks. Like Weeksy I wasn't going nuts or pushing things, but as a couple of gentle back in the swing of things rides I felt fine.
