My "new" steed for the year

Sorry to hear that James, I know only too well missing the years on the road, although in my case at less than your age (60) it was my choice. But I didn’t let my heavy licence go for some years and my car licence never left me and I found my mojo again after a few years by getting back on the road across the whole continent with the dogs. More or less gave it up a couple of years ago because of my wife’s illness, not mine, but I still do the occasional run, taking her with me and must be there and back in the day. The next one is Friday of next week a Dobie to Clermont Ferrand. Meet up with a family from the Alps, swap dogs and another Dobie back here.

I hope it gets better for you soon mate. :smiley:
