Had me a nice run out for an hour late yesterday afternoon when the weather was at its best (seemed to get better and the wind dropped as the day wore on). Ingleby Barwick, Yarm past the Airport, down to Northallerton and a blast up the A19 back home. Bike was great, I was rusty after a 4 month layoff. Its supposed to get warmer later in the week so I,ll be at it again then. Well done Bradley Smith on a good Podium. The Moto GP race turned out to be a bit of a bore again (ban the electronics !!)

Just noticed the signature

I'm genuinely sorry about the scrapping of the mighty Suzuki (glad I got the ride when I did).

Happy days with the Dakar..........I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

I got to get out this weekend .. I only left the house to buy more beer and snacks last week...

Gonna put the new, old shock on "old Biffa" tomorrow night .... spent £50 on a torque wrench, so I is serious...

I need a decent breakfast at the very least.. which should give the shock a workout

Schnooop! 'kin nice wheels..... great pedigree..

Oooh, a new bike! what is it/she/he?

Gail picked up a Kawasaki Versys last weekend, she loves it.

He's got himself another GSA. He only keeps them for 2 month then waits 3 month for the next one to arrive.

Oh dear .......... does sound bad. Unfortunately they keep bringing out another MUST HAVE
This time it was the ESA suspension and the uprated gearbox. It would take a lot to tempt me away from this one though - I like it.

I'm very happy for Gail !!

I got the '08 GSA. Just love it.

Bob spends more time transferring all his stuff over from one GSA to the other than the time he owns each bike.

Rideout on Sunday?

I need to visit Alnwick to drop some DRZ wheels off to Forry.
