130 miles with my dad. Had a Fab ride haven't been out with him for ages! At first it was miserable then after around 20 miles or so it started to brighten up, so traded bikes with dad...didn't see my bike again until motorway (at the end of the ride haha!) We headed towards a little village in Wiltshire near swindon, it was lovely then headed to Marlborough for a hot drink and cake then went home!

Hooked the Sprint up to TuneECU and updated the map for the noisy Triumph pipe that's on it.

Stopped off to make sure a cyclist was ok. Going down a country road and saw a bloke sat on the grass banking. I did a u turn further up the road and went back. As I pulled up I clocked the young deer lying at his feet.

By all accounts a car had hit the deer and carried on. The cyclist stopped to see if it was badly hurt, which it was. He had called the RSPCA and was waiting for them.

They look swish as f**k.

Lovely summery ride home. Lifted the front a couple of times coming out of corners.

Can't beat that feeling. After this weekend I'm hoping the Multi will be fully run in so I can see how the wheelie control works. :D

That is a good feeling.. I had it once where the rear started to spin up as I was picking the bike up out of a corner, then it gripped and wheelied slightly sideways - still haven't had anything with a nicer feeling happen. That beats Kneedown easily

Went out for 110mile blast with an old mate. Had a good catch up and both had a fabulous ride. Went to the Departure Lounge and had a nice cold drink in the shade as it has been boiling all day

Today went along to the IAM group. Haven't managed to get to the monthly meet for quite some time so it's been amazing getting down. I went on a green team run (people who have passed) went out for a 85 mile ride in this very muggy heat!! Ended up at a place called Nelson's Diner which is an American styled cafe. Food was pretty good and found some very good roads. One in particular was amazing twist after twist got such a buzz from it.

So it really was a biking weekend and I feel great [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Strange ride into work. One minute it's clear blue skies and glorious sunshine the next I'm in thick cold fog.
