Hehe... maybe I'll actually get to finish this this year. Two years back my Biking Buddy Linda decided she'd like to do it. I rode with her as far as Abbington (North Clock-wise), but had to turn round as I was at work that night. Linda teamed up with another guy we met there, and finished it in good time, Honda CBF1000.
Last year, I had a choice of 1100GS or the FJ1200 I'd used the year before. As the Beemer was running a bit rough when low on fuel, I chose the Yam. It decided to blow a hole in the collector box just north of Lockerbie. Had to retire at Hamilton. Linda finished it, but just out of time as she deemed refueling more important than trying to finish on time...
This year, having snapped the crap exhaust it was fitted with in half, the Beemer now has a standard item. It's running much better, but it's going to visit RGM between now an the event. Linda is on her CBF again, unless she buys a Crossrunner after today's test ride.
Maybe I'll get to finish it this year.
See you guys there, Red R1100GS. Or it might be black by then.
