1000 mile trip on the sx with Perkles to get breakfast from Lucy's.

Had another play with the zx10r. The people at the traffic lights looked a bit surprised when we decided to stop bikes as the lights' were on red.

Picked up the RSV from the brother in laws and had a bit of a blast round some of the local lanes. Felt a bit odd riding as I haven't seen it for about 8 weeks, that didn't last long though (devil)

Was hoping to get out for a decent run tomorrow, but I had forgotten the rear tyre is fooked. Next thing on the long shopping list.

The good news is I've worked out how to get it through the gate, so after I get back from holiday it's coming home for good and living under a cover until a she gets sorted.

Get a gel seat on the zx10 like I did. That way you can be comfy and waft along at fooking insanely mental warp speed all day long (lol)

Nice.

Heard a 4 pull out of the h cafe and give it a handful today. Amazing sound.




Not quite as nice as the RSV with open cans that followed it though ;)

Still the best bike around and definitely the best colour.

The latest RF scheme looks pants imo.

Sweet looking bike, Eddie.

I agree Blade, the latest colour scheme is just a mess on the RSV4.

took it to Sherburn for a coffee ..

Saw one of the new aprillia rsv4's today, they looks nice but not as good as the black and red colour scheme.

Went for a little spin, caught up with Kingfixer for brunch... however the reason for my post is the amount of muppet's out there today was higher than normal. However I will not dwell on the twats out there, but the good people. 8)

I was heading down the M4 this morning, quiet a lick on, when I come up behind a Volvo, dark blue supporting a GB sticker, nothing out of the ordinary. In typical style the road was open on the two inside lanes, but he would not move over!!! 9 times out of 10 I would not have wasted anytime and just gone past, however this time I waited a little, we went from 65 mph to over the ton, he would not pull over, I thought wtf is going on.

I was not sitting close, about two/three car lengths but keeping pace, still clear on the inside, just as I was about to move into lane 2, a sign popped up on the back shelf, red illuminated one, (The one you just sink when you see it) "POLICE SLOW" Oh bollox :(

But that was it, he just told me to slow down, I waved thank you he waved back... I slowed down lol.... PHEW!!! what a nice Policeman for sure.


I dont think the guy in the white van, getting up his arse then undertaking him felt the same, as the police car proceeded to follow him off the M4 at the junction DOH!
