Woke to blue sky & sun yesterday & the"shiny one" was keen to get its tyres warm. Took a ride to Bromsgrove,Kidderminster Ombersley&Worcester. River Severn running high and muddy. About 60 miles & back home for an afternoons worth of TV racing-Oulton Park looked good-a lot more scenic than watching Stoner ,Lorenzo etc circling Estoril. I used to enjoy MotoGP but for me its become a boring predictable foregone conclusion. Remember Rossi @ Donington in the pouring rain(2005 or 2006?) with the bike trying to spit him off,highsiding in zero visibility!

Im watching Cal Crutchlow though-time we had a top British rider again.

Gave the bike a quick check over ready to take it out and play with it and noticed the tax disc had expired. Went online to tax it and found that the MoT has as well. Cut the lawn instead........

Me too, on my silver GL1800 and in company with friends on their red GL1800, 1467 miles anti clockwise around Scotland over 5 days, set off from Oban ('twas our day 5) for home in Liverpool. Were you on the blue FZS1000 I'd seen in company with about 5 other bikes, Tuonos I think? How changeable was that weather, horizontal snow and hail too, then beautiful blue skies. Brilliant end day to our Scotland tour.

I missed you then, wondered if it was someone on here with a blue Fazer Thou (with top box I think)
Sleeping bags and tents!

Not a chance with her indoors on the back, gotta be B&B and evening meals - cost me a packet, I leave the camping for when I'm off and away alone on me FZS Thou 'cos her arse is too big for the Fazer

Up early, checked crow traps and snares, breakfast then set off for Lockerbie for our footie teams last game of the season, I coach under 13's, won 7 nil and finished 3rd in league, happy days. The journey was em, different, lovely blue sky so bike time. By the time I reached Dumfries I had rode through hail and heavy rain with no waterproofs and by the time I got to Lockerbie I could hardly change gear. On the return journey it was snow and bloody cold, straight into the shower to thaw out. All was well after that as we were in the pub by 1.30 and home by em feck knows, blootered.

Yesterday was spent mainly getting back from Rouen to Gatwick via trains, busses, ferries and shank pony with 18 teenage rugby players in tow.

Good weekend but not a lot of sleep was had by anyone.

Did an urgent run for Devon Freewheelers, collected sensors from the Neo-Natal ward at Truro Hospital and delivered to the Neo-Natal ward at Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital.

205 miles in blazing sunshine and pouring rain!

Rode 200 miles around mid Wales - it was cold but stayed dry- good enough for this year!

Given that it's now (technically) Sunday, yesterday I went for a ride up to Box Hill and back which was great fun

Went out for a few miles, called in at bike shop-looked at the shiny stuff,came home & mate phoned to say hes bought a CG 125 to practice on. He only did his CBT last week and hes going to take his test this summer!Wouldnt it be good if we could each recruit one new rider-theres enough Fazers around for everyone!
