2022 - first ride :)

[Ped]

What a wonderful ride, Alex :) Thanks for the video :)

For me the riding season hasn't started yet, for a couple of reasons. 
One is the usual: Salt on the roads. Although the riding season 
officially begins on the 1st of March, it's often mid April or even 
later before the roads are free of salt. This week sees several snow 
showers, and during the night the temperature drops to -5 deg. C. So the 
roads are salted almost every evening/night. The second reason is that I 
just had my eyes fixed. Over the last 6-9 months I apparently developed 
cataracts, and it became increasingly difficult to drive at night. 
Oncoming headlights resulted in bright starlight-like glare in all 
directions. Even on a bright day the world appeared hazy and colorless, 
almost yellowish, and text on a computer screen appeared as blurry, 
light gray letters on a white background. By the time I got to the eye 
clinic I had 30% vision left on one eye and 50% on the other. I had one 
eye fixed a couple of weeks ago and the other a week later. I had almost 
forgotten how bright and colorfull the world can appear, even on a gray 
winter day. But for the next couple of weeks I'm not allowed too much 
wind in my face and certainly no dirt, so no motorcycle riding just yet. 
Actually the winterly weather just now suits me well ;)

Other than that the GPZ is ready for the season, now with 235.000 km 
(146.000 miles) on the tacho :)
