What was your 'Golden Biking Moment'?

[Bornagain]

There have been many golden moments and many other coloured moments, but I just wrote this to try and explain the golden ones:

I leave the urban streets behind, the 30 limit’s gone
The open road is beckoning me and I hear the engine drone
Sweeping bends await me and my heart misses a beat
I open up the throttle and slide back on my seat
The wind tugs at my leathers, the scenery is blurred
Nothing ever comes as close to riding on my Bird

A87 heading west, with mountains either side
I see an eagle soaring high, its wings are spread so wide
Red deer grazing down the glen really are a sight
When they see me speeding by will they get a fright?
The experience is wonderful, it really should be shared
But I don’t mind being alone, I’m riding on my Bird

I hang a right and up the hill, the road’s now single track
Seems so narrow as I climb up high and there’s no turning back
I crest the hill and take a break, the view is just divine
Back on the bike I head down hill holding the right line
Suddenly a tight bend looms and so I drop down into third
Chasing the vanishing point, I love riding my Bird

And so the ride continues, mile after lovely mile
Passing cars and caravans, it really makes me smile
Eventually I turn for home, it’s been a cracking day
Overtaking everything that dares get in my way
It’s only other bikers know this feeling so I’ve heard
The feeling that I always get when riding on my Bird

That's cracking matey, get it released
I remember spending a lot of time in the Highlands, not so long ago...
I could add......

I took it up the A9, there was no sign of plod
Scotland has the best roads, I'm a really lucky sod
I turned off at Kingussie, and hit the Laggan road
The buzz I get from riding is what made me write this ode
I turned back at Fort William, my engine smoothly purred
You forget how many miles you do when sitting on a 'Bird



And not a lot rhymes with SP

jeeez proper lyricists on ere

anyway I ain't had any offs, or even dodgy moments in me 12 months back on a bike - entirely attributable to me conservative riding & consequently I ain't exactly covered meself in glory either

My golden moment was going to Cadwell for the BSB this year. my worst was smashing my rt foot up this time last year because some twat decided to pull a right turn whilst on his mobi and no indication...
