Took it out for a quick blast.

Didn't go far but it's so nice to be riding a bike that's just been serviced and with new tyres.

Went to meet Duke. Realised my phone wasn't on my person and the pocket I thought I had put it in was open, so I rode home. Thankfully I found it in my living room

Nice ride through Bromyard and to a bike cafe called Doms
It was rammed but the roads were great today
Need to get the big fat Ducati serviced soon the QS is playing up

They've been voted best biker cafe 2 years running. I don't know about the gravel driveway though, I think he should tarmac it. Tea is steep at £1.80. You must have come past my house. It sounded like Brands Hatch in my garden this afternoon.

You could hear a lot of bikes today. I wish I’d had the time today ☹️

Yes mate. 10 miles to Worcester and 14 miles to Leominster from my house. I'm in a village about half a mile off the A44.

Sorry, I thought I'd replied to this last night. Bike meet was the first one ever to be held. It was at C7 Auto Solutions on the trading estate behind the CO-OP. I'd say at least 150 bikes there. They're talking about having a meet once a month. I really enjoyed it!

Booked the MV in for its MOT for next Saturday.

I was going to go out on it but I had a change of mind and took the dog for a walk instead

So the MV got a quick wash ready for Monday.

Went to a bike meet in Hereford. It was busier than I thought it would be. Some old classics there too. Plus there were too many Harley's as well. Can't stand them I'm afraid.

Harleys are horrible. I fail to see the attraction.
