Some mug rode 150 miles in that rain

 

[Mr K]

Tyre pressures checked, Optimate disconnected and seats refitted....

.....all I need now is some petroleum.

Slim possibility that I may show-up...





Now... where did I put me gloves?

PS: It might take me a while to remember how to ride the poor thing......

 

[Snoopy]

Should make an appearance as well unless it rains.

Just fitted my replacement and broken heated grip right side from Motorworks. I specifically asked the guy that they check the resistance of all 2nd's they sell when I bought it. "Oh sure yes" he says. Bah ...

The things people do to get out of buying yer mates a drink to celebrate yer retirement.

 

[Mr K]

Just put the bike away and poured meself a beer.

Cracking ride Peter and for me a superb opening run for my 2009 season.

180 miles by the time I got back.

Glad we stuck to the "tarmac only" route - Much safer and saved getting the bikes all muddy

Nice one gents!

May I just concur with Chris' comments.

Thanks Peter.

Enjoyed myself enormously. To make up for when I should have fallen on the mud in the morning I relaxed so much after I left you two dropped the bike in Ashkirk Everything ok though -no cameras about

We'll try the really muddy bit next time
