Roads were a little damp, and a little busy around 11.30, had a good potter around, but then the roads were empty from 14.00hrs and we pottered some more  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Christmas day riding, a little cold, but what a buzz  :clap :clap

I went out yesterday on mine  :thumbsup:

And as Shooey says, the roads were a a bit damp, and slippery too. I thought that my clutch was slipping when I gave it a mitt-full in 3rd, but oh no, it was the rear spinning up :yikes

All good fun though, and the Suzuki didn't rot away over night :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rotflmao:

Went out on Christmas eve, did some last minute shopping, bikes are great for cutting through the traffic and getting in and out of car parks  :LOL

Out on it again today, having a blast to Matlock Bath... dont care what the weather is like, it will be good to get into the Pennines.

Went to Paisley for a few beers as did my wife. We jumped on the bike on the Thursday and picked up the car. Nice to get it out even if it was a bit cold, once wife got off I got the speed up a wee bit more.  :thumbsup:

Bloody hell mate, didn't realise you hurt your leg in Portimao..............................you never mentioned it once  :rotflmao: ;)

Took the bike out today, had a bit of a blast with Richo zx9r, who actually rides a zx10r  :yikes and Biff, met a few up at Rocky, blew the cobwebs out, and need a new rear tyre  :yikes

But a good day, was great to get out  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Was a great day :thumbsup:

However, although Shooey only lives 46 miles from me, I always seem to get lost on the way there, today I managed to crack 85 miles before I found the place !!

Good rideout though  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
