I had a later start this morning and while puddling through the road works on the M20 I was very jealous of the all the bikes heading the other way towards the ports and Eurostar.

I’m planning to get a ride in at some point over the weekend so could be bikey.

What are you lot doing, bikey or non bikey?

Riding down to Dorset (from Silverstone) via Salisbury Plain on my KTM for a bit of fishing. Perfect weather!

Hopefully replacing the fuel pump on the wife's bike.

Mot's expired on mine and I can't get it on until the end of the month

Off to MH Racing in Chippenham on Saturday to have the RSV4 suspension tweaked for me and my lardy arse, was going to go in the week, but he has race bikes to finish for the weekend.

Seen a few people with loaded up bikes evidently off on their travels and have too been very envious!

For me Saturday is a mini moto event at M4 karting I have arranged instead of leaving drinks for my current job. Then Sunday there is a bike ending on eBay I'm tempted by so could be even more bikey!

Otherwise it's cleaning/rearranging the garage and fiddling with track bikes I think

Slightly bikey for me. My dad is coming round so I can fit new discs and pads to his FJ. No riding though as the forks on my bike are off being rebuilt.

I'll probably stop there around that time for a bacon butty on my way out, I'll be on a green Z1000SX smile

I might drag the WR out of the shed and head up to the woods for a while tomorrow, and if I get a chance over the weekend I'll get the Kettle out for it's first run this year.

Was going to have a play on the 4XV but the MOT has run out and I couldn't get it done this weekend.

As someone else said, be nice to have a ride that's not the daily commute.

Up early this morning and out on the bike - grey Z1000 SX - down the old hop picking route in Kent.

My first ride of the year and bloody hell was I awful on the little roads, still it was brilliant to be out in the sunshine. And a truly superb bacon roll from the bakers in Goudhurst. Really recommended if you are in that part of the world.

Got in and bike magazine has been delivered - a read and then off to the pub plus curry take away. Living the dream for today smilesmilesmile.

A bit of moderation and another couple of bike runs (maybe even one with pedals - don’t tell!) over the weekend.

Have a great weekend all....

Hopefully get out on mine and cheer up a bit. hehe

Haynes Museum do a bikey breakfast meet up every 3rd Sunday so as this one coincides with a Bank Holiday it should be good.

I'll probably just be thinking about getting my bike an MOT. It lapsed at the end of last year as I was finished riding it for the summer and couldn't be bothered to get one at the time. Now that I want to be back on it, everywhere will probably be shut for a long weekend over Easter.

I didn't realise it was Haynes this weekend, I only have the 125 ready to ride at the moment but if you go give me a shout and I may pop along, be good to put a face to a name! thumbup

I was toying with the idea of riding up to the Smoke & doing a sightseeing tour, but not sure if possible or even advisable, given that Swampy & his unwashed mates are 'occupying' various parts of the city. wkers furious

Picking up my new bike on Saturday then a few hours blast around Sussex, perhaps heading over to Kent.

Very excited 😆
