Steve1962 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Here's a little video I did of part of my commute home from work. Twas a nice sunny day late in May, a balmy 23 degrees, little traffic and the usual lovely scenery of the rolling countryside here in the Cotswolds. I have to admit to some self indulgence regarding the choice of music - Stealin Time from the 1978 album by the very underrated Gerry Rafferty - there really is so much more to his musical talents than Baker Street. To add to that, I often feel like i'm stealin time when i'm out on the bike as i love riding so much. Apologies for the quality - watch in 720p. Thanks for watching. Steve Link to comment

Steve1962 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Marty, Thanks - the traffic was killin me...... ......have to be careful at the last junction though as plenty of cagers cut that corner off and have nearly been knocked off twice!! Stay safe Steve Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Steve, Very nice. I've still got that album on vinyl. Bought it for Baker Street, but listened to the whole thing quite often back in the day. Loved it when you let the engine breathe a bit towards the end there. Glenn Link to comment

I've also got that album on vinyl, and loved the Stealin Time track as soon as I heard it - you should listen to it again. I only let the engine breathe up to 4000rpm on this occasion, but have been known to extend it further on a few occasions... Steve Link to comment

Boffin Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Very nice Steve. We _must_ get out on the bikes together agin soon. This house-move hassle is getting to me in many ways - the difficulty in getting time to ride is the biggest one. Andy Link to comment
