Leave it until next Sunday, and come to Cornwall for the day. You’d certainly get the highest mileage travelled award :lol

Would love to - but working in Nottingham area all weekend. (I heard the grandkids are coming) :rollin :rollin :rollin .
Helmets are on charge, as SWMBO wants to get out on the XJ600S for an hour or two, so tomorrow it is. Out from Worcester along the A4103, cracking scrubbing in road.
Re: Whoever posts last is best - robbo - 08-08-22
Did you go down towards Hereford. Certainly a nice part of the country, know it quite well :thumbup

Yes we did, stopped at a little cafe for refreshments as well :eek .
Tyres are nearly scrubbed in - will finish it tomorrow.
The only downside to the day was watching my wife run wide on a roundabout, leave the road and drop the XJ at about 5 - 10 mph on a footpath.
Pride dented. It took about 15 minutes to get her back on to get home.
Re: Whoever posts last is best - robbo - 10-08-22
Oh no :eek . Hope she’s ok, bet that dented her confidence more than the bike. At least she had an escape route by the sound of it. Hopefully you can both get out again soon, get some miles under the wheels, and put that days event firmly in the past. :thumbup

A bent indicator stalk and a scratch on the exhaust. There's a possibility that she's cracked a rib or two and I keep cracking jokes :lol :lol :lol
Re: Whoever posts last is best - robbo - 11-08-22
Ouch…cracked ribs take ages to heal, something like 6 months in the couple of occasions it’s happened to me. Going up to the bar always gives you a reminder, as you lean on the bar to get served and give yourself a dig in the ribs :lol . Still I suppose wives aren’t “getting them in” that often

Mate - you are a star. You have just given me an idea :rollin :rollin :rollin
Still, she's got to get through the next 4 days - I'm working away and the Grandkids are visiting :lol

Same again next weekend :lol . And the best bit by far, we're moving at the end of this month. She's doing all the packing of stuff, whilst I've been busy working. :eek
Still - I've yet to straighten the indicator stalk, which will mean hours in the garage making sure its the same as the other one........... :rollin
