No dramas for myself and Hebgbe on the upright bikes but I think the other 2 on the R1-M and Panigale were struggling.

No idea why the others were not out
Probably comfort related depending on the roads you are riding ... found the blade bloody rock hard when riding up there last week. The roads are in a dreadful state in places. Everyone is buying uprights now ... when you can get an upright with sportsbike handling and performance you have to wonder the point of using a sportsbike on the road - I certainly am after trying an S1000R ...

Others weren't out as their invites got stuck in the post ... frown (not that I'd have made it - was too busy getting pissed)
Wooooosh.....
Indeed.

Others' psychic powers not up to determining there was a run on?
Like I said it was a bit last minute, there's still loads of time yet,

I'll post it up next time.

We'd better get a run organized or we'll end being like them Southern homo's.

I agree, although to organise a run one has to inform the usual participants, otherwise the run out doesn't happen, is it going to be one every 2 years now?
Let's get a day sorted then, I don't mind where it is so long as someone knows the route and knows where plod hide.

OK.

Where and when, bearing in mind I do have at least a couple of hours ride to get to devils Bridge.

Now I know you're not taking this seriously.
I was being serious.

its the height of summer, long days and all that, yep its a long run but I bet you've never been where I have in mind. I think we're all old enough to not have to be in for tea time unless some are under the thumb.

Where's everyone's sense of adventure.
