What a luck! What a privilege!

I can’t tell you how happy I am today! It is middle on January in the middle of Europe. Usually we have a layer of snow above a layer of ice above the road. Today, I feel guilty to be so happy about it, today we had sunshine and 6°C! It did not take too long to find some fellows for a circle around the block!

Forecast did promises already yesterday that it’s going to be a motorcycling day today. As I always knew that there will be one more riding day this winter, I did not remove battery. Every day was thinking; “It's tomorrow! It’s going to be tomorrow., Tomorrow I'll move the bike!”.

As a result, a decent batterycharge was highly recommended and, as I found out with a short test, totally necessary indeed.

So we headed just south, all the way towards the Alps. Not, that we did intend at all to enter some serious mountain passes. No, it is clear that everything which could come into consideration is not possible to do with a motorcycle at that time of the year if simultanousely one intends to enjoy the ride. So we stayed on lover altitude, drove along some lakes shore (which you can’t do in summer as EVERY-f…in-BODY does it in summer and finally ended up for a short stop at the bakery of my trust:

Tschirky in Schmerikon! Nice selection of sweets and a spot in the sun to sit outside ( did I say it is mid January?).

Well, there’s not much more to report about this ride but that it has been pure bliss. Just the fact itself that it could happened, just a few days after I almost lost my nerves about the outlook on such many motorcycle free days, just that fact makes this whole thing so special! Wow! Battery’s fully loaded again. What a luck! What a privilege!
