We could try somebody 'riding point' like, as a sacrifice to save the rest of us, ideal candidates require sharp eyes, excellent instinct and balls of steel.

slow silver's need not apply.

Dales is a local haunt for me but alas I won't be available for the full weekend and the CB's coolant/oil may not be happy with me attempting to gap a VTR on the road :P :twisted:

I don't think I have too many [yet], just don't have the motivation to ride the big bike yet.

MrsMcQ was out Saturday afternoon and I thought about nipping out for a quick blast on the Storm but in the end I went and did some cycling........ go figure!

perhaps the utopia of Sardinia on a S1000RR has left me jaded about fighting traffic on an overcast day while being worried about losing my licence :(

Oh yes. We'd all just about forgotten about you swanning around in the sun on someone elses bike. I'm SO glad you reminded us..... Bastid!
