It looks like I'm having my own protest up the M5 in the landy, there's a show on at Gaydon.

Cheers - is about 7:15 ok? Don't think I can realistically get away any earlier...

The weather forecast now says things brightening up later tomorrow PM, so hopefully will be a roof-down type drive!

The more the merrier. It's usually a monthly meet, and we can probably find someone to put you up if needs be.

Thanks Bill. I'm very very skint this month (bought a new bike) but I will do my very best to join you good chaps next month.

A veritable "booking" man as well as an "ideas" man.

Don't worry, I haven't crashed it again! Here's a photo to prove it - www.davidhambly.co.uk/banditbeach.jpg

I took it for one last blat down to the coast and then p/x'ed it, for:

Appalling photo (taken on my 'phone) but it's a '99 ZX7-R. 28k miles, full MOT and Tax, new tyres and full race exhaust system (read: Loud). It scares me to death if i'm honest!

Good. Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of respect

(I bet it won't be long before you're thinking of another upgrade)

Respect? You betcha! I haven't yet opened her up properly in the first 3 gears - it's just got so much power. I did get up to some decent speed in 6th - I dont have a figure as fixing the speedo is on the 'to do' list, but I got to the point where my brain couldn't process everything at the speed I was going - 120mph on the Bandit felt serene by comparison. I slowed down at this point. The funny thing was that it was still pulling so hard that I tried to change up a gear, but found I was already in top!!
