Back home, safe and sound.  260 miles today.


Thank you so much to Cosmic for leading today, I'll bin the Britain's best ride books, I don't think anyone has actually ridden or driven them, the directions were poor!


Only 4 of us made it in the end, but we had a great time and actually rode for longer than we ate! 


Pics to follow.


I had a nice Fazer sandwich on the way home, McLaren F1, ME, Lambo, Ferrari, Ferrari.  We had a little play down the M2.  I say we... they had a play I tried to keep up and join in  :)


Pics to follow.

Wasn't all bad, some good roads and good company, did around 200 miles in total and out for over 7 hours.


Looking forward to the next one




Forgot to thank HH for his persistence in getting the ride arranged, def deserved his cream tea at Finchingfield

Yep great day out, and good company, really enjoyed it. Two thous and two 600s, a good combination. Kosmic you missed some good cakes at Finchingfield. Had one scary moment myself when I overtook a car on a back road into Castle Hedingham and a lunatic on a KTM overtook me at the same time. Well it is summer .....

Shame about the cakes. I'd have loved to have stayed but didn't want to risk turning the bike off and not being able to turn it on again, as happened when I got home. Dohhh. The key fob seems fuct. Looks like the momentary micro switch is not returning to the out position. Had go and get the other key fob to disarm the alarm and start the bike. I nearly had to push the bike into the garage
 :eek

I definitely made the right call to bail out. Still, I had a nice cold beer when I got in and thought about all the loose chippings in the road that nearly cost me two offs in one day.
