    I'm with you there Stig. I'm a veteran, and definitely a morning person. I love riding in the morning. It would just be more fun if she was with me.
Absolutely.
Most fun on a bike was back in the 60's, as a 19yr old - with my 18 yr old wife in her little white short shorts* on the back of our Honda riding around New England!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I had a Bell too, figured my head was worth it, vaguely remembering their ads from the 60's

my first was a '67 Honda Super 90, it was a turd, every other kid in town had already owned it, now it was my turn to refurbish it, new handlebars, new carb, cables, side cover to replace the #10 can lid that was jury rigged onto it, I'm surprised I never crashed it, I was rarely on pavement, then one day on a gravel downhill stretch, I heard it say feed me gas ! and I did, till it wanted a little solid food, and ate a valve, how fast was I going ? the speedo was buried

We used to dress up, go out to dinners in Mass. -  birthdays,  anniversary,  etc.
She wore a killer dressy very short Harris Tweed culotte back there on these outings. I  know it distracted drivers, because a glance down distracted the h_ll out of me🙃
