i spotted you coming down the A58 heading down the hill towards the roundabout with the M62. I gathered you'd only just set off as you weren't giving it too much revs, I was on 2 wheels going the opposite way. Also saw a maroon chim later on the A650 near Shipley.
Must of been you Mike, mid metalic blue a similar colour to my own, you were just about to head down the hill to the M62, about 7.30ish, was good to see one on the road on a 'not so dry' night.
Yeah wrong end of the 62 for me too -desperate spotted I think
With respect to Merseyside, come on over and have a look at the city of culture 08 - me thinks you'll be surprised - good weekend too with the tall ships here -
