Rode roads like this today, 6 of use in total had some fun with a new guy in our group he was on a Honda 600 Hornet, them wee bastards can shift, his skills are greater than mine but we had a buzz. Heading towards the Jalon valley. The weather this week is to turn nasty so glad we got out and about today.

371 miles: from Carterton, Oxfordshire, to Chesterfield, loop (with nakedadder & andybesy - cheers fellas! :thumbup ) including Snake Pass, Cat & Fiddle (done it at last!), round by various very enjoyable roads to Matlock Bath, and home again. And discovered both up and back that A361 between Banbury & Daventry is a cracking little twisty road - pity the sun was in my eyes both god-damned directions!

Replaced my front Blue Spots with a set of 2003 R1 Gold Spots.
Will post a picture when I get to take it out of the garage, started raining as I was finishing up and did not get a chance to take it for a spin. They look good on the Fazer The pistons are black and look like a teflon coating just like the Fazer 400 Brembos. They are supposed to be the best of the bunch before they changed to radial ones

But, had to stop once to remove pinlock which actually made things worse in early morning cold. Also, 2 leisurely coffee breaks - got to services just before meet point nr. Chesterfield at 10:00 am. Did the loop by 5:00 pm ish (?) - not really sure. Again, we didn't go fast and stopped a few times including longish break for food at Congleton (?) and another longish break (for more food :lol ) at Matlock Bath. Snowdonia next? Approx 200 miles each way plus play time whilst there. Will need a very early start, might have to wait for longer days again next summer. No sore ass, I swear to God it's cos of merino wool boxer shorts!

For a small wage, I'll come out and ensure there's always a set she doesn't find...
