Planning the road, knowing the bumps and bruises!

Which road today? I wake up every morning knowing that I have one destination with multiple road option. Do the gutsy thing to take the busy road? Do the calm ride that will take me 20 mins longer cause it is 30mph max speed? One lane? 2 lanes so they can pass me, I’m hoping they don’t honk, like that idiot truck I once encountered. Cause me to panic and stall - and.... forget everything I know about the basics of starting my motorcycle.

Slow hands release, slow turn release... I feel like a badass... when I’m stopped, but this too cautious of a mind saying I look like a newbie. Do they know? Can they see? My nerves are showing? Cold morning, my jaw was hurting - can’t figure out how much more clothing to wear to keep warm.

Which phone GPS should I use? Tried a few, but my concern is can I focus riding while following instructions?, ahhhhh and I did it! I made it happen-, google maps adding multiple stops thinking that’s the only way I can tell it where I want to go.

No one honked at me, I think I’m getting better every day. What is next?, where to go? How many times a should I ride?

My daily journey is so planned, I drive with my car to all these options so I know where the manholes, the dips, the curves and curbs and observing the drivers on this road. Cause overall on every street that I take I get culture shock. ?????? keep brapping!

    I get up earlier for work and take the scenic long way round. always going at my own pace, stopping at my favourite views and when the inpatient mad head box driver dissapers. Just drink in the peace cruise the curves, worries a distant memory. Content that I'll get where I'm going in a better frame of mind than him. Happy biking ??
