Went out on the '99 Rochester at 7am this morning. Nice sunshine after rain overnight.....
Did around 16 miles along minor roads, past some of the usual landmarks......
It's so very green over here at the moment.....
There was a 'sportive' ride taking in some of the roads I was riding, my mischievous side took hold and I embarked on a 'MAMIL' hunt. Carbon Fibre riders can find it disconcerting when a guy catches them up on a 119 year old machine then makes the pace.
Mind you I was surprised at just how fast you can go on a fixed 90.97 inch gear......
Stopped at the local vintage vehicle show on the way back, just as the bicycle sale guys were unloading this totally original '63 Moulton.....
Purchased it at 8.30am, rode it home at 5pm.

Finally took my Rocket out in 2018 (bought it in winter 2017 so only test ride in driveway) went 5 Miles. It’s awesome! @New Mexico Brant @buck hughes

Yes, it is quite the machine for sure. As you know DNC1, we humans can adapt to most any cycle after a few miles on them, particularly when we fancy riding alot. I see you also have many that you enjoy yourself. This old Colson with the 22" wide long-pull moto bars is tight in the cockpit for a taller rider like myself. I like the hand positions the bars offer, but I have to stop pedaling to shift as there isn't a lot of room to reach down to the clanky Hercumatic shifter on the frame bar with my left hand while spinning. I have had it out now twice, and am quite smitten actually. It begs to go fast and has surprised me running the modern & lightweight 3-spd wheels. I am thinking maybe another long one tomorrow on it....skpc.
Today I got out for a 33 miler on the late 20's Hawthorne Flyer motobike. No mechanical issues today. Nice riding weather with light winds and perfect 70's temps.
